Hi, to get an overview, I made a frequency/bandwith list about proposed digimodes in IARU region 1 - 3 . The question is should we choose different PSKmail frequencies for the IAUR regions or should we choose PSKmail frequencies, which are valid for all regions ? I think as well, that it is a good idea to use one frequency for connected mode and another for APRS beacons. Who begins and makes the first proposals ?

An: pskmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Datum: Dienstag, 9. September, 2014 16:54 Uhr I think it is a good idea. I propose to listen to connects on 10147.0 during minute 0 (for those servers able to qsy), and 10148.0 for minutes 1,2,3 and 4 to pick up aprs beacons and messages. I also propose to listen in DominoEx22 mode, as it is extremely insensitive to frequency errors... rsid will take care of the rest. Actually, summoning is also very easy for clients which do not use rigcontrol. Put the server frequency in VFO B, and search for a free frequency on VFO A. Send the connect/summon frame using VFO B and switch to VFO A to welcome the server... the server will poll 5 times. Unfortunately this only works if the server uses rig control. (No Darko, I don't suggest you change 9A1CRA :-) Open for suggestions on frequencies for the other bands (80, 40, 20, 17, 12 ,24). We should put together a list of preferred freqs for pskmail... 73, Rein PA0R -- Hi all, This is just an idea I had and it's been discussed before. Anyway, while listening to the traffic on 30 meters the other day I had a user connect to the server. Traffic was kind of slow at the start as another user sent a beacon and all the other servers decided to respond in turn. After a while all that was over and the traffic resumed but then another beacon was sent from someone and it started all over. In the past we discussed having an APRS only frequency, separating connected and unconnected traffic seems like a good idea to me. We continue to jam each other as aprs beacons do not stop when someone else is connected to a server. We could use summoning to move the server to a traffic frequency but that also means the client will have to move after connect. If the servers would listen on two frequencies on 30 meters and only allow connects on one of them then perhaps we could make clients connect on the correct frequency and stay on aprs on the other? Like minute 0 for connects and the rest for aprs? Am I the only one that thinks connected and unconnected traffic on the same frequency is a problem? Any good ideas regarding what to do about it? If anything? 73, Per sm0rwo
