[arrl-odv:28875] Fwd: [winlink_for_emcomm] PMON Monitoring Program
FYI; Note that it apparently doesn't decode PACTOR 4, but maybe that's only because that version's not legal here yet. Ria, any comment on this?

Funny you mention this, yes I have been working with Peter Helfert on this. I have a loaner modem and hope to start testing this weekend. Will keep you all updated. My goal is to have a fair assessment of the system so we can address some of the allegations out there. 73 Ria, N2RJ On Sat, 12 Oct 2019 at 12:27, Michael Ritz <w7vo@comcast.net> wrote:

This has been possible for a long time, but this may be the easiest turnkey solution

I’ve already independently replicated this work with software I wrote myself. I have a couple of loaner modems. I’m currently working on decoding in the face of missing frames and enabling diversity receive frame integration. Work on this is slow for me at the moment because of the demands of my day job.
