Re: HF packet data rates


 

I somehow missed the whole "MFJ TNC" part.? Frankly in this day and age you can do much better. Sure, the TNC will work to an extent but it's a Z80 based hardware modem that has long been surpassed by software and DSP modems. It also limits you to 300bd AX 25 whereas a software or DSP modems can do other modes such as IL2P or Robust. Even VARA if you really must.

I realize that you are getting conflicting advice in this email group but for my money and given the hardware available to you I would be doing a software modem. Win10 is a capable platform for software based modems and a sound card interface is trivial if you don't already have one. Keep the MFJ for local FM packet on 2M.

Feel free to drop me a line off list me. My call at the League finds me. There's more than one way to skin this cat.

Hi Mark,
So Dire Wolf is the Most likely software to use with My MFJ Modems? Would that be correct?
I will try and locate DireWolf software as I don't know the others you mention but I know of Dire Wolf a little.
Maybe the others you mention are better. I would certainly like to get receive working quickly. Please advise.
thank you Mike vk4sy vk3xz
