I can not do that Dave as I never have tried scamp. And really not up with the sound card stuff any longer. I don't care for PSK and never went back to it after a week or two. +++Then having a technical discussion with you is a waste of time, John. You were right, the thread is dead. But it seems to me - if it can be done we all would be doing it right now. And that I don't see. >>>There are people using PSKMail every day. The fact that you personally don't enjoy PSK doesn't alter the fact that PSKMail demonstrates the viability of ARQ in a protocol running on a PC with a soundcard. I really did not like the fact that what I did test or try that was a so called *ARQ* sound card mode was on it's very best day only 42 per cent of what a side by side TNC was running. >>>This is like citing back in 1910, "a horse can outrun a model T" as proof that automobiles will never work. Come on Mr. software guy, give my a ARQ sound card mode like Amtor or Pactor mode, please. One that will work with my 500Mhz Dell's that I have here (anyone of the 9 of them) +++My dance card is already full. 73, Dave, AA6YQ Need a Digital mode QSO?
