Re: [digitalradio] Random Hour instead of MOTD
I think the answer will prove to be very much a "yes" when it is available in DM780. I have heard other hams talking about "Ghost QSOs" in Olivia which is true to an extent but it still relies on one party hearing the other party in the first place. With RS ID it will be possible (more or less) to have QSOs with stations you don't detect by ear at all. One suggestion I would like to make to developers incorporating RS ID would be that even if your particular software does not play with a detected mode please think about informing the end user with the name of the mode. This would at least let people know what's going on and perhaps get them to return an RS ID for a more common mode.

Re: [digitalradio] Random Hour instead of MOTD
I think the use of RS ID and detection is important. The issue still remains...will others try it?

Re: [digitalradio] Random Hour instead of MOTD
Hello Tony and all, Here is an old proposal of Mike Pastorcich KF5HEY done several years ago. http://f6cte.free.fr/Tom_modes.doc For possible ideas. 73 Patrick - Original Message - From: Tony To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 10:16 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Random Hour instead of MOTD All, The mode-of-the-day may not be the best for what we want to achieve since it tends to put the emphasis on a single mode. A Random Hour on the other hand would promote the use of any mode starting at a specific time each day. With the help of RSID and video identification, operators can randomly select the keyboard mode of their choosing. The ID would be an essential part of random hour since it takes the guess work out of which mode is being used. It might be best to have both a local and universal start time. The meteor scatter group uses local time to promote their random hour efforts but they are dealing with a propagation mode that is limited to one or two time zones so it's not the same as HF. The time issue is open for suggestion. Fldigi and Multipsk have both the Reed Solomon and video ID. Simon Brown's DM-780 has video ID only, but that may change soon. MixW has video for MT63 only.
