[digitalradio] NBEMS
NBEMS - Narrow Band Emergency Messaging System Is anyone familiar with this mode? What type of equipment is needed? I have an MFJ-1250C. Will this work with this or will I need a different type of interface? Thanks! Rod KC7CJO
Re: [digitalradio] NBEMS
Hi Rod, The NBEMS setup uses soundcard technology. Although the TNC will provide you with packet capabilities (which can be important depending on where you are and what's available in your area), the NBEMS technology relies on various soundcard-based modes and doesn't use hardware based packet at all AFAICR. Keep your TNC in case you want to run Airmail, but also setup a soundcard interface to use the NBEMS software and modes. Also, you might want to look at the Paclink software which will work better with your TNC than Airmail will. 73, Jeff Moore -- KE7ACY DCARES - Deschutes County ARES - Original Message - From: Rodney Subject: [digitalradio] NBEMS NBEMS - Narrow Band Emergency Messaging System Is anyone familiar with this mode?

Re: [digitalradio] NBEMS
Rodney, The same interface you use for PSK31 will work. NBEMS is a software suite. Go to www.w1hkj.com/NBEMS and download the software for your windows or Linux version.

Re: [digitalradio] NBEMS
I used THOR 11 and 22 on mars nets didn't really take off though as no body had the software, supposed to be better than MFSK 16 as its a IFSK. NBEMS modes with the high speed digital with ARQ are more for VHF UHF handshaking. Any soundcard interface should work, good thing to have in your tool box is the highspeed digital and data ARQ for VHF emcomm and with flidigi software you dont need a external piece of hardware for the ARQ.

Re: [digitalradio] NBEMS
Thanks guys! Am impressed with the speed of the replies!!! I'll search out a PSK-31 interface and give it a try!! Thanks again!!

Hello Andy and All, The replacement for Charles old open web site for PC-ALE is now up and running as of today at: www.n2ckh.com/PC_ALE_FORUM I am still quite busy and have not re-enabled live e-mails from this forum due to its heavy message load. So for those that are not members of the HFlink forum, questions on PC-ALE for me via this forum will not get a fast response, instead I would recommend sending them direct. /s/ Steve, N2CKH

Rodney wrote: NBEMS - Narrow Band Emergency Messaging System Is anyone familiar with this mode? What type of equipment is needed? I have another question along these lines. How is it used? How does the ham community coordinate what frequencies are used for emergency messages? Is anyone monitoring those frequencies? Or is this just a new set of protocols on top of a few digital modulations, without much of a use case yet? Considering the availability of cheap single-band SDRs, like softrock, I could see having some frequencies reserved for NBEMS, and having a few stations in each region monitoring those frequencies, etc... -- All rights reversed.
Re: [digitalradio] NBEMS
The County EOC will have an ARES unit attached to it. Each city within that County will have an ARES unit assigned to it, provided there are enough hams in that area, otherwise they are broken down into sections. Each section, or ARES unit, will have a set of frequencies assigned to them in the HF, VHF, UHF bands. Again, the modes used on these bands are set up, depending on what the ARES unit personnel are set up to use. As for the ARRL, I don't think there's an Official band segment designation for this particular mode, besides, during an emergency, all bets are off and you can and will use any means necessary to get communications through. NBEMS - Narrow Band Emergency Messaging System is just what it means, an Emergency Messaging system! Most likely it's only going to be used during emergencies. Being a former AEC or our local city ARES unit, we employed Ham, CB, FRS, MURS, cell phones... to get the job done and it all worked with relatively few issues! As long as the ARES, CERT, and RACES personnel are properly trained, things usually go off without any major hitches.

[digitalradio] digital mode emcomm simulated drills
There appears to be a large group of hams in this group that have an interest in digital modes for emergency communication . I wonder if we might want to have a quarterly drill of some time where we activate and use NBEMS.,ALE, PSK MAIL. possibly WINMOR (when available)? Does anyone have any ideas on how we might organize this ? I am aware than local ARES groups in the USA might do something, but I am interested in so periodic international drill . Ideas ? -- Andy K3UK
