As promised, I did a little experimenting with the RMS Winmor server software and its busy detect feature. Tonight N0OE was calling CQ right on my frequency , within 100 hz of my center frequency. At the same time a Winmor station issued a connect request to my station K3UK-5, in fact this

Good point. The early Winmor beta testing advice was to was to keep all DSP off but yesterday I used it to rid myself of some CW QRM and had no issues. I am finding Winmor does quite well with QRM unless the QRM is of a long duration. So, for example, ALE soundings don't always cause major

Just a reminder..when Winmor first stated, the idea was to establish a mode that did not need a $1000 modem, and could at least achieve Pactor 2 speeds. While it still can be a finicky mode, it appears to be able to do what was first desired. I just picked up three pieces of mail for me AND
