Good morning all... This has been interesting me since I read about it in QST last year. I, too, have been looking to do some experimenting with this mode. Last year, I briefly tested this by heading to my Churchabout 3.5 miles away. I brought along my TINY Sony Vaio and my IC-2AT...and

How will RMS Express running WINMOR in either SSB mode or FM mode fit in between this comparisons? Can even be adjusted to run through repeaters. Can run Peer to Peer or to a WInlink RMS WINMOR. I am looking forward to learning about pros an cons. 73 de la7um Finn --- In

Jon, Here in WPA we've adopted MT63 2k long (64 bit) interleave as our standard. The mode is very wide (2000hz) but fits very nicely inside the typical FM transceiver and repeater audio passbands. Here's some of the big advantages of MT63 2k long on FM: -Massive amount of FEC (forward error

The reason to use DominoEx is only for FM DX communications. It is slower than MT63, but much more sensitive, so you still get good copy way below limiting and quieting. For that reason, on our local FM digital net, we use DominoEx 8 and with horizontally polarized antennas, include everyone

Interesting suggestions, Skip. We're hoping to be installing UHF and VHF vertical yagi's at the Skyview Radio Society before winter sets in. I'll be sure to do some weak signal work with the DominoEx 8 as you suggest. -Dave, KB3FXI --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, KH6TY kh...@... wrote:

Dave, I forgot to point out that we use Contestia 64/1000 on SSB, not FM, for that 200 mile path. When using FM, DominoEx works just as well, but of course, the overall range is less on FM. Essentially, if you can work a VHF or UHF station on SSB phone, you can work the same station on FM
