Unluckily i have to say that this comparison is quite flawed... using easypal which needs minimum 6db SNR in the lowest setting in conditions of less than 4db snr (1/6 throghput you say) is not a good idea. Comparing that to a mode which can adapt to lower snr's is BS at best. Your invited to

Both soundcards should also be qite precise at 48k sampling rate. If one or both cards are not able to precisely do 48k samples you will get bad audio quality, periodic interruptions, or bad SNR values. For vista users it's important to set the default audio rate to 48k, not 44100. I do not

[digitalradio] RFSM frequencies?

2008-01-27 Thread Andrew O'Brien
What are the common frequencies that RFSM users are using for mail transfers ? Can the casual monitor decode any RFSM or is it restricted to just the two stations that are linked ? I see there is a beacon mode so I guess that I should be able to decode some beacons. -- Andy K3UK

I'm not sure what Les wrote about the cost of the product, but my understanding was that there was a temporary $60 price associated with RFSM8000 from the normal price. The question is: who will buy it at any price? If you have seen what has happened to other developers who tried to charge
