Hi Charles,

> Can you digi through, in and out on the same channel ?

Yes, it looks like it does (based on the Trace panel).

Another note about NEWQPSK .. here are some comments from one
of the experts, that you may want to take into consideration,
especially IMPORTANT - download and read that PDF file further
down, I think you will find it very handy reading if you are
an avid user of FlexNet32 and the soundmodem ideas ...

 No, NEWQPSK == Q15X25. NEWQPSK was the original name Pawel had for this 
 mode. Later someone else invented the new name.

 I meant the modem named "psk" but unfortunately it seems it won't be a 
 solution for you. See the following website :

     http://www.baycom.org/~tom/ham/dcc2000/soundmodem.pdf:

 "The modem is in an experimental stage, and tests over the air were 
 successful if the audio levels have been adjusted carefully. Although 
 not ready for deployment, it is included in the source distribution for
 those who want to experiment. The modem is named "psk" and it has not
 yet been converted to cope with variable sampling rates. It requires
 9600 Samples/s and therefore won t work under Windows."

 It probably won't work. That option simply increases the symbol rate 
 and thus the needed bandwidth. And that won't work with unmodified
rigs...

 There is a Q15X25 list on Yahoo. I'm there as well.
