Mercury?


 

Hi,

Has anyone tried mercury modem yet? It is supposedly a 'vara' compatible client. So curious if it'd work in BPQ the same way VARA does. I looked at this a month or two ago but was not sure if it'd get to release level. But it looks like it has.

Well Im off to try it. With any luck maybe it'll work.

Looks interesting.? Have you had a chance to compile it and try it out??

I tried to get it to do anything mostly ARQ mode, using the mercury.exe (windows). I did not have much luck yet.

Two things that are concerns for me.

1) It gets crowded around HF packet and it appears at this time it only does wide bandwidth, unlike VARA which you can force to 500Hz 2) I could not get the ARQ socket to bind to a tcp socket.

The test system was windows 10.

So I tried to reach out to the author to see what next.
