Yes, that can happen to transmitters in general, on any mode. But, as long as an operator is sitting there doing the control of the transmission, he is capable of immediately knowing what is happening. For instance: I come up on a freq, in SSB, and listen. Hearing nothing, I ask twice if the

Jack, I think I answered most of that just now, to another station. As long as you are setting there, and have checked that the freq is clear, fire away. If then you get someone coming in and connecting, you have already checked the frequency, so go ahead with your contact. But, if he hears you,

Pretty confusing indeed. As Jack says, you never know when someone will connect. Have any of the proponents been a sysop? I guess they have not. TIS Software would have to be rewritten, so an incoming call rings a bell, turns on a lamp, awakens the dogs and let'em out, something that lets

Jack. We on the other side see THAT as exactly the problem. Your mailbox sits there silent. Somone else gets on the freq and calls it. It comes up - and causes interference to someone else that is already using the freq (which you would have heard if you were physically sitting there

Hello John, Well I have seen no others, aside from you, complaining about qrm when operating Pactor modes on the sole basis that you were using Pactor. I am sure it happens as we all get benign qrm. As I have posted often, it is sad some think Pactor modes are the issue when it is the Winlink

No Bill and you will not see others on this list. 99.5% are sound card *ONLY* operators and have no clue what the non sound cards modes are all about. Other then what they have read, such as it's all bad and that is why pactor has such a bad name. Not all of us pactor operators are robots stations
