DID ANYONE CHECKOUT THE BAUD RATE FOR PSK 500 ? IS IT A SINGLE STREAM ?

Re: [digitalradio] Re: FLARQ outperforms WINMOR
Quite true, but there is a network of ARES and RACES groups slowly beginning to see that FLARQ is quite effective. When WINMOR moves to peer-to-server operations, it will be interesting to see what happens. WINMOR also has the Telnet and packet capabilities.

[digitalradio] Re: FLARQ outperforms WINMOR
Definitely apples to oranges, Andy. One doesn't even need to get into a discussion of speed (although I've finally tweaked things so that I reliably get ~1Kbyte/min on a 1.6KHz mode S9 connection with 1-5K payload). The most important difference is that there is no promise of FLARQ being supported by a network of hundreds of radio mail server stations. k*b*l*0*0*q --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Andy obrien wrote: > > Well, not an apples to apples test.. but Ron NY3J and I played for > quite a while with FLARQ tonight on 80M and 40. 80M was was in poor > shape with QRN and weak signals but we managed a few slow MFSK16 email > transfers.
