[digitalradio] jpskmail client for windows and linux adds HF APRS and ARQ to Fldigi
Here is a new and very much improved version of the java pskmail client The client was completely rewritten in java in a team effort by SM0RWO and PA0R. PSKmail adds APRS and ARQ capability to Fldigi 3.10, and uses several digital modes depending on band conditions: PSK63, PSK125, PSK250, THOR22, MFSK64. Default mode is PSK250, ARQ mode decreases speed by some 15%. PSKmail uses adaptive block size control to use the channel efficiently. The software is open source. This client has been tested under linux and windows using java 1.6. Almost all the functions available in the original Linux version are now in there. But, just to keep us busy for a while longer a few things are missing: * Compressed transfer of email * reception of AIC Fleet codes (pskmail FEC format) * File upload However, all the rest is in there:. APRS functions (unconnected): Send APRS Posit Send APRS message Send APRS email Send Ping to servers Send Link packet to server Receive APRS message Receive short email on APRS Set APRS Icon Set Beacon Period (10, 30, 60 mins) Set APRS status message GPS connection (RS232 and USB) Show position, course and speed Bulletin receive Receive weather (or other) bulletins automatically and store them. Email and web functions (ARQ connected mode): Upload of user email settings to a server Create new emails and send them List, read and delete emails at your regular email account List, read and delete emails locally at the server List file area on the server Download files from the server to the client Read files on the client Update files on the client (download) Telnet agent to connect to your packet mailbox via HF.

This VERY good news , thanks for all the work. I have it loaded under Windows XP, now I just have to read and figure out where to find a server. Should be a good project for the weekend.

I forgot to mention that the intergration with FL-Digi seems to work very well Andy On Sat, Mar 21, 2009 at 7:01 AM, Andy obrien k3uka...@gmail.com wrote: This VERY good news , thanks for all the work.

Re: [digitalradio] jpskmail client for windows and linux adds HF APRS and ARQ to Fldigi
I guess I will wait for conditions favourable to connect to a server, 20M seems like my best bet this morning. Am I correct in thinking that is the server list shows a station with an SSID, I should put it in the link To box as DK4XI-2 ? cK3UK:1024 DK4XI-2:24 5A7F6 When the list says No QSY or QSY what is that saying ?

Re: [digitalradio] jpskmail client for windows and linux adds HF APRS and ARQ to Fldigi
and one more question. If I select PSK250 in jpskmail , and then execute a connect request, FL-Digi transmits in PSK31. Do we need to set BOTH FL-Digi and jpskmail to the same mode? I guess it makes sense but i am wondering why there would be a mode choice in jpskmail if fldigi did all the work.
