Hello Bonnie, Not sure I proved anything :)
If I fall asleep on my keyer is that an unattended CW mode? If I leave my vox on and background noise keys the xmitter is that an "attended SSB mode"? What is at issue is *intentional* automatic modes, not my cat stepping on the ptt. JT65 is not an automatic or semi-automatic mode in any sense of the definition. 73 and be well, Bill N9DSJ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "expeditionradio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Bill N9DSJ wrote: > > I would be hard pressed to > > fit JT modes into any definition of "unattended", "semi- automatic" > > or "automatic" operation. > > Hi Bill, > > You proved my point that what we now consider just a normal feature of > software or radio operation, is something that we once considered > "automatic" before. > > JT65A may certainly be operated in an automated way. > > The operator can program specific transmissions that happen by > computer control, on a time schedule. > > The transmissions happen regardless of other traffic on the channel. > > The transmissions may be in responses to specific calls or sequences > of other stations. > > Case closed. > > Bonnie KQ6XA >
