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

I agree that we have all had a great time fooling with the mode, and VE5TLW and myself have been using ALE400, together with Outlook express to pass messages, both ALE 400 and 141A. It is a terrific piece of software and bodes well for the future. In the next few days we will have this

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,

Hi John, We don't have any specific places we have been operating, although I made a suggestion on the HFDEC yahoogroup (Hams for Disaster and Emergency Communications), that perhaps we could operate up a ways from the typical PSK31 watering holes. My suggestion, and it is only a suggestion,

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
