Hi John,
Fortunately, that's not the way it works with ALE, John. There is
plenty of room for thousands of ALE
Because of the timing issues with Amtor/Pactor/Gtor, etc., it seems
clear that we should be developing modes that do work with the kind of
computers that most all hams have available to them. Because of the
mediocre performance, I would consider Pactor I and certainly Amtor to
be obsolete for

Far from it Rick.

When amateur radio operators who are used to keyboard-to-keyboard QSOs and then
go to a data transfer or messaging system, they do tend to become impatient
with ACK times.

I got the impression that the various modes mentioned below were a part
of STANAG 5066 and did not realize that there is a separate DLP part of
STANAG 5066. The jargon gets to be a bit much, but very common for
military type descriptors.

Next question, I have the KAM PLUS feeding and receiving output from a PRO

How do you know which mode is in use

As a convenience, many of the amateur radio ALE operators with PCALE
