Thanks Les that worked. I had already done as you described but this time I shut
down and restarted the software when you said too.

I just downloaded the program today, but busy do propagation tests with WSPR
with a few other hams across Canada for EMCOMM studies...
Hope to play this weekend as I am on nights all week....

Hell Paul,

Yes, the tuning is difficult to say the least.  Additionally, since the
RX and TX cursors are not locked, you end having to make sure that both
cursors are on the same frequency to get results.

I know what you mean by the colors in the waterfall and for me, it seems
that it is somewhat sensitive to RX audio input. If you are not too
careful, you can end up with a waterfall that appears very bleached out.

You have to admit, it does add a spark to operating in comparison to our
other "plug and play" modes :-).

Hope to see you on the band as I'd really like to make some DX contacts
with this very interesting mode.

Hi Laurie VK3AMA,

Thank you for the information and noted.  Also thanks for making the spot pages
always interesting and changing...you are always adding good things to the spot
site!

Hi Phil and all,

Always interesting to try and experiment and thanks for the link and try in this
mode.  I never did get you to decode even with your strong signal (maybe too
strong!).  I made adjustment after adjustment but ran out of time.  I will have
to setup the other rig and pc and see what I'm doing wrong with this mode..must
be my soundcard settings or something (I can't believe it would be that touchy
to tune).

If I have time maybe this Sunday I might try again but now 12 hour workdays
leaving little time for anything else.

Since you Phil and others have had a few days testing at this new mode maybe you
can give a short overview on what you think of it thus far.  Or if you have
compared it against other modes, have you? (regular MFSK, Contestia, Olivia,
etc).  Just wondered if it any better or if worse than other modes at hand known
to work well.

Thanks again and always good to read your posts and better yet catch you on the
30m band.

It is great to see new modes being programmed and tested out by this group.
Congratulations to all. I continue to follow with interest.

Some time ago, a group of us wondered how the regular computer generated audio
signals for PSK (AFSK - audio frequency shift keying modulation) would work on 2
meters handheld FM only transceivers. Even with "audio" interfacing, the results
were surprisingly good.  We then reproduced the experiments on 10 meters with
high performance transceivers in order to compare AFSK with NBFM for local
emergency digital communications use.  The results again in the field were very
promising... in some cases FM outperformed AFSK.

If the major advantage that CMSK offers over PSK results simply from eliminating
the amplitude modulation needed for AFSK, then it might be worth a more detailed
experimentation of the use of NBFM, without the added software complications of
the new CMSK mode.

Can anyone confirm this?

I hear stations outside the US operating ROS on 30 meters.  It would be
nice to join in on the fun.
