I have been having great success with the new mode and the set-up for anyone who is currently operational on PSK31 or other soundcard modes should have little difficulty making the grade. My set-up is a great deal different as I use the 5000A with a couple ofapps that do all the work that the soundcard/Rig Blaster (or whatever) do. If anyone out
there needs an assist please feel free to holler. Les/ve3kfs What is WINMOR and why do I care? Mars members have been using Winlink (WL2K) for traffic that was formerly handled by the MDS mail system. The old MDS used a low cost interface such as a PK-232, WL2K is geared to a proprietary modem that removes a kilobuck from your wallet. The PK-232 will still connect with an RMS station using Pactor I. On Mars this is not a problem, but on the amateur side many stations will no longer accept Pactor I connections. WINMOR is a soundcard mode of transmission that allows connection to the WL2K system without a hardware modem. Much like MT63 or any other digital mode, a program must be wrapped around it to make it useful. In this case the program is called RMS Express. RMS express allows you to communicate between two stations (peer to peer) or to a WINMOR RMS station that will allow you to use WINMOR in place of the high dollar hardware modem to reach the internet. RMS Express also can control the SCS modem and most radios via the CAT interface. Future versions will allow PACKET as well. Also included is a TELNET mode that allows connection to the system via an internet connection.
