ALE 400 is a subset of wideband ALE, so wouldn't we expect even fewer participants? Even regular ALE has very little activity from what I and others have been able to measure on actual on the air use. Hams that use hardware embedded wideband ALE are not going to be using ALE 400 without a

My 2 cents/pence/yen worth: I think one of the biggest drawbacks to the ALE modes in Amateur use is the complexity and bewildering number of options, calling methods and messaging types. It's just not going to gain any real traction without it being simple to use. PSK31 is the poster child for

Hi John, If you are using PC-ALE 1.062H ( the latest build being #5) I can not imagine why you are having any issues with your TS-480SAT if the CAT control of radio works otherwise with any other software. All you need to do is select either KENWOOD or if using CTS/RTS handshaking,

Patrick, It is my understanding that 7040 in the US and 7035 in Europe are both QRP watering spots where many are using crystal control, low power, and cannot relocate. Is ALE400 at 7037.5 going to straddle both of those frequencies? Hereafter is a non exhaustive list of the ALE400 frequencies

Hi Kevin, I squeezed out support for com ports 1 through 16, older version were com 1 through 9. The limitation is imposed by the Microsoft supplied comm driver for the C++ compiler. /s/ Steve, N2CKH At 06:25 PM 12/11/2007, you wrote: pcale 1.062H will only allow CAT control via COM1 and
