Hi, Do not know about others but I operate Propnet on 160 often...I am always "live" (or as live as I ever get) when not in "lurker mode" (xmitting is disabled). As per normal, if the freq is in use, I disable transmitting. The software does include a DCD routine, but that will not get around the "hidden transmitter" syndrome. I operate only using BPSK31 on Propnet, but others use AX.25 on 10/6/2 and above and believe BPSK63 was also coded into the software but have not seen others using it....
