Did he ever explain the actual mode protocol? It seems that it is more of an SSTV type of program although he does mention using it for high speed data, and even goes on to mention the potential for future ARQ.
I suspect that that with the advent of RDFT and the earlier digital SSTV programs and then the rapid shift to QAM with later digital SSTV programs, it may not have worked that well? And he was focusing on FM so it may have appealed to a small subset of hams who do VHF FM images? It is very possible that the technology was embodied in the SCAMP protocol and may have worked as well or even better than ADES, especially if the VHF higher speed modes would have been further developed. You also would have HF capability for good paths since it had the speed, some adaptability, and most importantly, on the fly ARQ that worked so incredibly well with sound cards. But there are not many of us interested in this technology for high speed messaging. 73, Rick, KV9U Andrew O'Brien wrote: > -What ever happened to this mode ? > > Here us the message from March 2001. > > Andy K3UK -- > >
