Frankly I have no idea about Region 1 and their
compliance after January 1, 2006..
My experience in Canada is that the Voluntary

From talking to VK's who also have a Voluntary

Hi Scott,
I think the most interesting benefits, and the real strengths of PCALE
are:
1. Selective Calling on HF (Individual, Group, All)
2. Realtime optimized propagation between stations

Please do not misrepresent what the ARRL did in terms of supporting a

Howard, I am trying to better understand how voluntary band plans

By this you mean that the Army wouldn't talk to the Navy who
had clear communications with Pearl.
Which does not reflect on HF, but the choice of what

The HF bands are useless for emergencg services. The
local PD & FD used to use the Low Band FM, The moved
to High Band FM, then to UHF, and now seem to be more
dependent on cell phones.
As for emergency traffic on HF look at what happened
on December 7th, 1941!

My point was not that hams would swing an election, Walt. The

Hi John,
Have you tried 4800 baud? I know the newer Kenwood radios are shipped at
9600 baud default and as far as I know, those that are using PC-ALE seem
to have no problem changing down to 4800. However, I don't personally
have a TS-480 to verify this.
I know menu 56 supports selections of 4
thanks for your assistance, but still have a
problem..
Problem is the newer kenwood radios, specifically
the TS480, run 9600 8N1 . will run on 4800 8N1 but will not run on 4800
8N2
The radio will accept baud rate changes but not
changing the stop bit from 1 to 2 . The serial port
Hi John,
PC-ALE as currently written supports Kenwood radios based on the TS-850
command set which for mode and frequency is the same for all radios and
4800 8N2 for the RS-232 parameters only. Thus you need to change your
radios parameters for it to work if you are not using 4800 8N2.
