Have used it for relay through another station a couple of times and it performs well. For Peer to Peer communications, It is great. Provides flexibility to do many things and many modes of operation. Have run comparison speed tests with other popular software programs and find this to be best all round to use. The development team have done a great job of expanding and adding features including new modes to operate on. I like the add on features of Flmsg for forms and Flamp for ensuring 100% information transmittal. I have configured mainly for Windows operation but have helped others configure for Mac. ARES D1’s number one priority beyond the safety and well-being of its personnel is to get the message through in an accurate and timely manner, no matter how it is accomplished.I have been running this for many years and find it fantasitc to run. Modes such as RTTY, CW, and AX.25 are not routinely used by ARES D1 as they lack either reliability or efficiency, or both, but are not totally discounted, as they may be useful in limited situations. To stay abreast of technology, continue to experiment, learn, and have fun doing it, ARES D1 continues to test and practice with other communications modes, including newer modes, which may offer reliability and efficiency for successful message handling. The ARES D1 member interested in being digital communications capable voluntarily invests in either a 2-Meter VHF-FM, 70-Centimeter UHF-FM, and/or a HF radio with embedded soundcard or an external peripheral soundcard device a laptop, tablet, or other appropriate computer with the proper interface cables between the radio and computer and the appropriate software for the ARES D1 compatible digital modes desired.ĪRES D1 uses the following digital messaging modes, listed in order of preference of use:įlDigi - Olivia 8/2K (Speed adjusted faster or slower depending on Band conditions).įlDigi - MT-63-2K Long (Speed adjusted faster or slower depending on Band conditions).įlDigi - MFSK32 (Speed adjusted faster or slower depending on Band conditions).įlDigi -Thor (Speed adjusted faster or slower depending on Band conditions).įlDigi -Throb (Speed adjusted faster or slower depending on Band conditions).ĪPRS (Part of JS8Call and APRS capable Radios and Interfaces). $150 or less including interface cables, or RIGblaster, etc.) to pass data, including actual Email with attachments, Email/Text-like messaging, Imagery, Telemetry, and more. It does refer to the use of free or inexpensive computer software, standard computer hardware (Windows 7 or above, Mac, Linux or other computer and operating system that enables sending and receiving data over radio), soundcard or external peripheral device (Signalink, etc. It does not refer to the purchase or use of expensive radio equipment, nor the use of System Fusion, EchoLink,, D-Star, AX.25 Packet, Radioteletype (RTTY), Morse Code (CW), Internet Radio Linking Project (IRLP), or similar technologies or modes. However, the distinction between the often-used term, “digital,” and occasional use of the terms, “DMR” or "P25," is apparent during use of the descriptive terms. In certain contexts, it may refer to Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) or APCO (Associated Public Safety Communications Officials) P25 voice communications. When ARES D1 refers to “digital communications,” it refers primarily to data messaging and telemetry.
