Dave:   You are getting rhetorical...   as a practical matter SCAMP is still at best an experimental transport mechanism.  PACTOR is not...   Give it time and see how things work out.   SCAMP has a siginificant cost advantage over PACTOR...   Will cost win out over speed?    Will SCAMP spe

I have a million questions and the source code is required but I can do the busy detection algorithms in short order. I have been too swamped to do anything about modem work but if I can help make this better I will consider doing it. I am buried in software defined radio work and AMSAT work

Steve, In the past, I have suggested a separate discussion group. I was going to start one, but am hesitant to do this due to some practical time limitations with participation in a number of groups, one of which is fairly large that I co-moderate. But it is probably a good idea to separate this
