Re: [digitalradio] Re: Digitalradio Skypecast 0100 UTC June 15
Hello Rick, I had a contact with a local ham a few months ago using the ARQ FAE mode and although it was not robust enough to work well with an 8 pm local It's curious as this mode can go down to a lowest S/N of about - 6.5 dB (- 8.5 dB with many repetitions) thanks to a soft decision Memory Arq, so not very far from PSK31. It was perhaps a frequency shift. Normally, in ALE, you must be better that around +/- 10 Hz from the nominal frequency. 73 Patrick - Original Message - From: Rick To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2007 5:32 AM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Re: Digitalradio Skypecast 0100 UTC June 15 I must be doing one (or more) things wrong with trying to get the 141A mode to work with Multipsk.

But I can not remember how I set up the contact. It seems to me that these modes should work more like connected packet radio works. A few simple commands, and then also could work as a BBS too. That always seemed to make sense to me in the old days. 73, Rick, KV9U Randy wrote: We tried connecting to digitalradio last night on skype and found the group but could not get connected Randy k8khw

Same here. Skype had problems. I will test more and schedule another sometime next week. Andy.
