No argument from me. Alot to be garnered from this...both technically and socially. The discussion alone is of value. The mode suite is pretty much what it is in context of its intent. That it provokes interest on HF might be an arrow pointing towards abit different goal. Might even mean that because it is not "conversational", it allows people to make contacts without having to converse with people like me :)
In context, it is the tool of choice for me on MS and EME....that it can even be functional on HF is a side benefit. As for the other modes, keep experimenting... 73 Bill N9DSJ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Leigh L Klotz, Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think W1JT has done an excellent job not only with the DSP and mode > design but also with the software, making it open souirce, documenting > it well both technically and for users, and seeding further development > with a group of others.
