Comments:
Thanks again to Tom & Midge for the hospitality. Thanks also to WS7I for the
help with the ST8000.
The set up this time included a hardware modem, an ST8000. I had gotten it
a few years ago, but when the computer I was using it with died I lost the
secret sauce on how to set it up again (I keep lots of notes now.)
Decoders: Lots of great things have been said about the new 2tone decoder.
I have to think the stand alone version is not a good representation
because I was unimpressed. Most of the time when print was difficult the
MMTTY/Fluttered-FIR set up beat the 2tone standalone. Looking forward to
trying it in a proper environment.
That said, the ST8000 analog hardware modem (with Z80A micro!) still wins
the derby. There were signals that none of the sound card decoders could
even touch that the ST8000 printed perfectly. I need me another one of them.
Hope everyone had fun, I sure did - jeff wk6i@w7rn
