I have heard and even seen a diagram to allow this to be done. Apparently the basic fax mode is only half duplex. The circuit I saw was a basic hybrid to separate the two wire telephone line into send/receive and to sense when the local fax was sending to trigger the radio (VOX) There was great

Yes, I was aware of the HAL modem, but each one is around $1500 so unlikely to be purchased. It would mostly be used for HF. It uses Clover II and Clover 2000 which has a pseudo full duplex characteristic and I can see how this would be useful for a handshaking requirement. The individual

The individual wanting to do this, is primarily interested in running two bands (e.g., 2 meters/440) with full duplex. Well if it was absolutely necessary to use telephone fax machines, then at the originating end you would need a device that supplies -48 volts to the fax machine telephone

Great information. However, the ham that contacted me has asked me to not give him any more information as he only wants to do it his way or nothing apparently. You would think that you would have a ham who would be greatly interested in digital comx, especially for HF since the distances he
