Dave, The ability of the software that you requested has arrived. SCAMP will DEFINITELY not TX if the channel is busy with anything!
Sometimes it almost seems too protective:) Since it is a wide BW mode, a tiny and weak CW signal, which just happens to be about two KC above the dial freq, has been holding me back from sending a message for about that last 15 minutes on a predetermined frequency. While you can adjust a setting to make this feature more "deaf" they do recommend about a 20 db setting and that seems about right.

"Qualified" is a characteristic of the software application used to run a semi-automatic station. A qualified application can detect that a frequency is already in use by a QSO in any of several common amateur HF modes: CW, SSB, RTTY, PSK, MFSK, Olivia, Pactor, etc; if such an application receives an incoming request on an already-busy frequency, it will not initiate operation and thereby avoid QRMing an onging QSO. An unqualified application will respond to an incoming request whether or not the frequency is clear. As a result, ongoing QSOs may be QRMed. To my knowledge, all current semi-automatic station automation applications are unqualified. Howard says the developers of SCAMP will provide busy frequency detectors for most common amateur HF modes; if they succeed, then it will be possible to build qualified station automation applications around SCAMP. The characteristic "Qualified" is thus independent of the mode being used for semi-automatic operation. We're as concerned with unqualified semi-automatic PSK applications as we are with unqualified semi-automatic CW or Pactor applications. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, John Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What's the difference between a " "non qualified automatic modes " > and " qualified automatic modes " ?
