Hello Jerry, >PAX2 monitored a QSO on 30 meters, it was way to slow, I >don't feel it is a viable keyboard mode. If the number of retries is high (in noisy conditions) the speed can be low but in normal conditions the speed is 50 wpm after protocol (rough speed before protocol: 115 wpm). It is not exactly a keyboard mode, as a standard keyboard mode is half duplex (PSK31, RTTY). Here it is a "protocol full-duplex" (not a "hardware full duplex", of course), which means that both hams can type without interruption, the protocol managing the transmission between them.
>Maybe for HF APRS in which I thought was the original intent of PAX2? Yes, it can be used to transmit APRS position through 2 repeaters if necessary (in unproto or in connected mode). It can also be used as a responder and as a mail box.

John, On DominoEX yes, have had a couple of QSO's on that mode, works about the same as MFSK16 toggled back and forth between those with same results. PAX2 monitored a QSO on 30 meters, it was way to slow, I don't feel it is a viable keyboard mode. Maybe for HF APRS in which I thought was the original intent of PAX2? Most of the time I am on PSK31 on twenty meters 14.071 about.
