The fact that a soundcard-based Pactor implementation works poorly on a PC running Windows in no way justifies your claim that "a soundcard will not work". As I've already pointed out, the reason that a soundcard-based Pactor implementation on Windows would work poorly (for Pactor 1) or not-at-all (for Pactor 2 and 3) is because Windows is not a realtime operating system, not because of anything having to do with the use of a soundcard for A/D and D/A.
If you plan to further defend your position, please provide the technical specifics as to why "a soundcard will not work" in a Pactor implementation based on a PC running a realtime operating system. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, John Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dave did I say anything about mode 2 or 3? > They have tried pactor I ARQ and amtor > AQR with no joy..
