1. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT INTEREST AND DISCUSSION ON THE
VARIOUS DIGITAL MODES ON OUR NETS. I STARTED TO TAKE
A POLL ON THE NETS AS TO MEMBERS DIGITAL CAPABIITIES.
THIS PROVED TO BE A HAPHAZARD WAY TO COLLECT THE
INFORMATION. SO I AM REQUESTING MEMBERS REPLY
WITH THE REQUESTED INFO BY E-MAIL T0 SPUDLY(AT)
PACINFO.COM ALL LOWER CASE.
2. THE ROSTER LISTS IF A MEMBER HAS DIGITAL CAPABILITIES.
WITH THE LITERALLY DOZENS FO DIGITAL MODES OUT THER,
THIS DOESN'T TELL US MUCH. WE HAVE FOUND THAT SOME MEMBERS
CAN WORK RRTTY AND AMT0R BUT NOT PACTOR. OTHER MEMBERS
HAVE ONLY THE SOUND CARD PROGRAMS, PSK31 AND MT63.
IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW WHAT EACH OF YOU HAVE
AVAILABLE. FOR INSTANCE A STATION WITH MULTIPLE
CAPABILITIES COULD DOWNLOAD A MESSAGE FROM THE GATEWAY
IN THE PACTOR MODE AND RETRANSMIT IT TO A STION IN MT63.
THE MODES THAT WE ARE MOST INTERESTED IN ARE: RTTY, PACKET, 
AMTOR, PACTOR, MT63, PSK31 AND VHF PACKET. WHEN 
RESPONDING TO THIS PLEASE INDICATE THE MODES YOU HAVE 
ACTUALLY USED, WHICH ONES YOU HAVE BUT HAVEN'T USED,
AND THE MODES THAT YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH.
3. EXAMPLE OF THE FORMAT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOU
USE:
AAM0TOR
RTTY                OK
HF PACKET    NEVER USED
AMTOR           OK
PACTOR          OK
MT63                RECEIVES OK, WILL NOT TRANSMIT
PSK31              NEVER USED
VHF PACKET  VHF TRANSCEIVER NOT MARS MODIFIED
COMMENTS: MT63 TRANSMIT PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE
SOUNDCARD/SOFTWARE INCOMPATIBILITY.
