Lots of good Digital Radio content at the Microhams Digital

Thanks for the info. That does open it up for some preliminary testing...

So what would be the lowest band we could use it on? 10 meters? 6
meters? Higher?

what we used to call the unattended segment. Given that concept, the
code practice sessions would be moved to the machine segment of the
band...

Many home brew low power rigs, psk included, use the standard and very
cheap 3.579 TV color
m really excited by all the opportunities here -
both with the ability to watch more of the bands as well as being able
to experiment with faster data on wider bandwidths. It just keeps

For a starter, how about a 10 KHz version of the QPSKx25 mode...

Not that having a place for museum modes is bad -- we just shouldn't
