[MilCom] MARS ALE

[Daryll]

Hi Bob,

I also use an Icom R8500 and MARS-ALE to monitor.  I'm using v2.0 of 
MARS-ALE right now, but prefer the older version.  Will have to switch back 
some day.  The MIL-STD-188-141A settings being used here are:
  Scan Rate: 2
  Enable/Disable section, all unchecked except: LQA, Allcalls, Anycalls, 
Wild Cards, This IS Sound, Display Sounds, Listen Calls, Linked TWX, Freq 
Display, Display Date, Log to disk, Use RTS for PTT, PTT Status Display.
  Release Resources: Radio 1 Com Port
 Parameters: Sounding Period=60, Resound Period=5, Sounding Attempts=5, ATU 
Tune Words=0, TWA=300, PTTD ms=30, LQA Timeout=1440, Frame Votes=30, Frame 
Errors=3, Sync Votes=10, Sync Errors-0, DCD Theshold-1, SCLC=8, Listen 
time=10, TX Audio Level=10, RX Audio Level=10, Unmuted Audio=0, Muted 
Audio=0.

The rest of it is user specific, com port, etc.

Many of the above parameters have nothing to do with listening only, but 
this is what I have in my setup and it works OK.  There is no delay to 
restart scanning after receiving ALE data.  Also, the Delay/Speed knob is 
completely counter-clockwise, but that doesn't seem to have any effect when 
running this program.
