Thanks for the historical perspective.. I am fortunate enough to have studied English History many years ago where I learned the term... Luddites are those who distrusts or fears the inevitable changes brought about by new technology and in the end the Luddite Movement ceased to be active

Could we not use highly inflammatory comments such as calling other hams Luddites? There are NO luddite hams that I have found. There can be differing viewpoints on what types of operation have value to a given individual. Remember that the luddite term referred to people who were employed in

That's two messages in a row inveighing against modern-day Luddites holding back bandwidth-based allocation without citation of anyone actually taking this position. Perhaps this is another example of If you hold a weak position, attack an imaginary enemy. The true obstacle to bandwidth-based

I use my KAM frequently; WinWarbler lets me run MMTTY and the KAM simultaneously, providing diversity decoding of one signal, or the ability to copy both a DX station and his/her pileup. I also have a PK232 and an STSII-e; I use the latter for Pactor, and (rarely and somewhat perversely) PSK31.

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

I already have my BPL buster up and running right now. It's called a 10-meter beacon! You will only need a Tech plus license at a minimum and no coronation requirements to put up a low power slow speed CW signal with a basic dipole antenna, a very cheap AM CB radio, and some way to key the PTT

I have several TNC's and oh no, several terminal units as well. I also have a sound card setup in the mix of digital equipment. You can't do ARQ modes with a sound card except for HFTerm which required Linux and as it locks the OS from running any other programs you might as well run Terman93

When was the last time you used that sound card and had a ARQ Amtor or a Pactor ARQ QSO ? You can't do that with a sound card. I have been playing with a linux program but even it's only about 42% of the 100% of the TNC.. BOTTOM LINE: your sound card just can't cut it. And when using my ST-6 TU

One of the interesting upgrades out, is for the HK-232 / PK-232 series of TNC's. Not only does the HK / PK232 series of TNC have excellent passive hf filters, now they are further improved with cascaded DSP filters. The ability to take the load off of the CPU is a great reason to use a TNC.

Even when I used the TNCs , I didnt used AMTOR or PACTOR. So, havent lost anything there. I seem to be able to copy many more signals now, than when I was using them too, mainly becuase there are many more signals there. The sound card programs have opened up the world of digital to most hams,
