Hi Andy, Is there any likelihood of future MixW development, for example adding Patrick's RSID or CALL-ID features? I get asked this myself and can't answer as I'm not on any MixW mailing lists. Simon Brown, HB9DRV www.ham-radio-deluxe.com - Original Message - From: Andrew O'Brien

Nothing that I have heard. Nick is somewhat more active, as his health has improved, but I hear that the focus of Mixw improvement is on the logging aspect. Andy On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 3:37 AM, Simon (HB9DRV)simon.br...@kns.ch wrote: Hi Andy, Is there any likelihood of future MixW

chas, What are the MARS operators using MixW for? Are there modes that are not available on other programs that they find compelling? I downloaded MixW again today, but it looks about the same as it did in past years. It is a fairly clean interface (albeit, that is a subjective thing for an

I think MARS uses MixW mostly for MT63. Here in South Carolina, in Navy MARS, we are standardizing on using fldigi for MT63, and before that some people used MixW and some used Nino's program. It all boils down to whicher user interface is easier to use, or to train people to use. If everyone

My 2 cents worth: I have tried them all and still prefer MixW. It is a simple program yet does everything I want it to. It is neat and orderly in layout and appearance. It will use my RAC CD, a lot of logging programs won't. I just click on a callsign and the logging info fills right

It is all about the visual simplicity of its interface . . . elegant in its minimalism. And I say that truly as a complement. Although I like HRD and MultiPSK both for other reasons, MixW is easier to use. More pleasing to the eyes especially versus MultiPSK. Rick - KH2DF Sent from my iPhone

I think that as a digital mode application, MixW is good , but it has lagged seriously behind other applications in the past 2-3 years. The DX cluster operations are no-where near as good as Winwarbler affords via the Spotcollector interface, or the opportunities DM780 has provides via HRD's

Buddy and Rick, What you are describing seems to be flidigi more than any other program. Have you tried this program? And unlike Windows-only programs, fldigi works on more platforms than any other program of its type. Maybe the RAC CD won't work on fldigi though. Fldigi is ultra clean and
