Stelios, I'm sorry if I made you feel bad. If you are a moderator, you can delete my posting. I'm feeling a bit more optimistic today - it's nice to get 8 hours of sleep. It has been frustrating attempting to use fldigi 3.12.3 I mostly use DM780 rather than fldigi. The Flarq is the exciting

'I really think the fldigi 3.11.6 works much better. I keep both versions installed in different directories. This may be your problem. Fldigi configuration files of any version are kept in fldigi.files. You cannot run but one version without reinstalling another. The standard for MT63 is to

- Original Message - From: kh6ty kh...@comcast.net The standard for MT63 is to start at 500 Hz. Fldigi follows the accepted standard. Anyone wishing to use fldigi and flarq together on MT63 will have to follow the standard and only use MT63-1000 or MT63-2000 as other versions have

Simon, The default here in South Carolina NAVY MARS is also 500 Hz. They use fldigi or MixW, or Pawel's program, and like to adhere to the standards in any event. What I don't really understand is how you can successfully use a center frequency of 1500 HZ with a 2000 Hz-wide MT63 signal. Even

Just one more comment, being on agreement with the previous postings... on a linear transponder (as a SSB transceiver becomes usually on HF between your antenna and your soundcard) just rock the transceiver's dial to make the tones fall in the proper place in the spectrum. FLdigi has a

Hi Jose, That can be done, of course, but there is also often a need in emcomm for everyone to be on the same RF frequency, so in order to do that with SSB, everyone needs to be on the same tone frequency, and with VHF FM especially, voice communications has to be on the same frequency (i.e.

Thanks Simon, WE have been trying the NBEMS for a week or so now. WE have been able to operate peer-to-peer from within Fldigi in virtually every mode, but have yet to be able to make a connection using Flarq. Try as we will, it just has not happened no matter what. The WE is not really that

Well, IMHO, EasyPal has great potential for sending all file types - text, pictures, etc.. with error-correction/partial-retransmits. The problem with EasyPal - it seems only people with 500+ watt amplifiers can transmit reliably via NVIS antennas to the majority of users listening in the

While awaiting Winmor, the only real alternatives are NBEMS/FLARQ, ALE, or PSKMAIL. ALE is, in my opinion, the best conceptually. It is free and does not need any fancy modems. It does require a network of stations world-wide and a fairly hefty (good SNR) signal to make a link. There is a

See if Dave can help you, w...@bellsouth.net or go to NBEMSham. It should not be that hard! You do not beacon first, but you first establish contact in the mode and then ask the other station to send an flarq beacon. His callsign should appear in your flarq and then you just press Connect. 73
