class of packet ?
Robust Packet-Radio (RPR)
Up to now Packet-Radio over shortwave has been basically a
non-starter, it has even been heavily criticized because of the low
effective throughput and repeats. AX.25 is for
If you are like me, there is SO MUCH happening in the amateur radio
digital world that it is hard to keep up with , more fun to be had
than can be squeezed in to 24 hours. Some software ,like WSJT, can
be left active overnight or when out of the shack and the user gets
time stamped information
Andy,
I believe that somehow it has been already done and is hidden to most of us.
How ?
I have not tried to run the recent Linux ham apps from the command line,
but the cron can be used to start and stop tasks in one minute
intervals. You can invoke either applications or scripts with

I've been remiss in answering some of your questions. You'll either
have the start of a pactor type emission or an illegal emission type.
I had this argument several years ago when pactor 3 showed up. If you
look at J7D, it is defined as Single-sideband, suppressed carrier;
with two or more
In my own case I can record the incoming audio and play it back later.
At the moment I leave DM780 running all night picking up SSTV pictures.
I'm not sure I would want a scheduler but were I to add one I would use a UI
similar to Outlook's calendar.

All these issues on exploring the digital modes are and should be
discussed. It depends upon what interests the posters who are willing to
share that information. Be thankful that they do. Many of these
discussions are vital to amateur radio. The decisions to come will

Well, its just another mode, to add to the

Actually, Jack, this makes more sense. In a way, this would be one way

What I don't understand is if you already have a suite of modes, Pactor,
Pactor 2, and Pactor 3, then why create another mode like they did?
This is not compatible with existing packet, right? So you would have to
have SCS products on both ends? Then why not use Pactor modes,
especially
Robert,
I may be in a minority, but I don't think you're off base.
If you stick around you WILL find posts that are more to what you (and
I) sought as a focus of a digital radio forum.
You just have to sort through a myriad of repetitive philosophical
postings on topics that sometimes seem to

Sorry but I know the relative level of activity
at times. There is far less ALE than various
other modes and more ALE than various other modes
as well. It all depends on your point of
