As a convenience, many of the amateur radio ALE operators with PCALE have been using the built-in 8FSK modem for texting. It uses the same 8 tones and baud rate that the main ALE part of the system uses for calling. For keyboarding/texting, we often use the feature called DTM (Data Text Message) with ARQ. We also sometimes use the other feature called DBM (Data Binary Message) with ARQ for sending files, or images. Both DBM and DTM normally run at 125 baud. It would be great to see an amateur radio version of it developed with the same 8 tone set that simply runs at 1/4 speed, to be used when propagation conditions are marginal.
