John, Is the reason for wanting to operate AMTOR just for the novelty of an old mode? I could understand using it if it was possible to do it as a sound card mode at a level comparable to hardware modems.
When Pactor came into use in the late 1980's, AMTOR use was drastically curtailed since Pactor was a much better mode in terms of weak signal and not falsing characters. Then when the sound card modes came into use in the late 1990's, it seemed like Pactor use was curtailed for casual contacts since the sound card modes were able to work well into the noise, similar to (and sometimes even better than) CW which made it possible to have keyboard chats even under some difficult condx. 73, Rick, KV9U John Becker wrote: > No not a one. > Need a Digital mode QSO?
