[GCARC] NBEMS Net

[franciswallace at comcast.net]

Hi Bruce,
Thank you so much for the explanation! What a world of difference a few extra words creates! Had no clue as to any of this with all the acronyms. 

Note to all: Please don’t assume everyone knows the acronyms, there are new hams out there, and older hams like me, who have no clue and are just learning. It becomes a message of gibberish when no spell outs are included for the acronyms.

Thanks again.

FLDIGI is a open source computer program that runs on many platforms. 
(Windows, Linux, Android) which when hook to your radio transceiver can 
send and receive CW, RTTY and many digital modes. FLMSG and FLAMP are 
two other programs used to send digital message used in Narrow Band 
Emergency Messaging Software  (NBEMS) which are the accepted method of 
transferring digital information in a event of a Emergency ( Internet / 
phone outage)

If you have a 2 meter FM radio that can talk to a repeater with offsets 
and PL tone and a computer that has a sound card or Terminal node 
controller (TNC) your good to go.

You would need to install the FLDIGI (open source / free) program for 
the platform you are using.

If you or anyone else has question we can take it off line of the reflector.
