If you really want to speed things up, throw away the spaces between report and number and in between the numbers and replace them with dashes. 599-123-123-123 Is faster to send than 599 123 123 123

OK, Master Chen -- I remember reading something that you authored a while ago about (-) dashes and USOS and the best way to structure your set-up. As I recall, perhaps mistakenly, (-) dashes were in

It is another myth that an extra character helps when you are transmitting all numerals. The extra FIGS that follows the Space actually hurt. The reason is this: if the probability of the error of a

Someone who knows what "TOO" means should also know how to decode "PPQ" into 001 by sight. And this does not even take into account software which can do the conversion between FIGS and LTRS for you

REPLY: Anytime you use a dash in the exchange it prevents USOS from working. USOS is a good thing, it was invented for a good reason. Let it do its job. Bill, W6WRT __________________________________
