Tnx fer the note, Howard
Over the next week or so ,we should have VE5GPM up and running 24/7 on RFSM 8000, not beaconing, but ready to receive calls and transfer files. VE5TLW and I will be working on learning the software and making a little noise with same. I think we will find an alternate frequency to play on since 14109.5 is busy with ALE soundings ,and will let you know what it is. To that end would welcome input from the US ham community since this is a more critical issue south of the border than here. I THINK that you are able to use the non-standard modulation which is 2.4khz wide , as opposed to the Mil Std 188 which is 3khz wide. You should be able to copy any packets in the Packet window. Again , get some opinions from others in the US as to whether this is legal , and where in the US band plan it could be used. At first blush , it certainly has some promise.

I have been and am still listening on 14.109.50. I did hear one burst a while ago but mostly just hear ALE. BTW I just want to try to copy beacons since I still believe it is not legal for me to transmit here. I should be able to copy the beacons and see them in my packets monitor window, right? I am looking for people in range at VHF to test with here. It is amazing what can be done on 2 meter SSB.

Will double check and try again Wed afternoon. Same frequency, but will make sure I am on the right modulation, non-standard . My antenna does well north -south so maybe see u around 1700Z or so John VE5MU From: digitalradio@ yahoogroups. com [mailto:digitalradi [EMAIL PROTECTED] com] On Behalf Of Howard Brown Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 10:12 AM To: digitalradio@ yahoogroups. com Subject: Re: [digitalradio] RFSM8000 Hearing good RFSM signals in North Texas this morning. Not able to decode beacons with the older version. Also hearing lots of ALE and Pactor3 signals here.
