I think you are serious...you think computer-generated/received CW is
really some advanced technology of the new millenium and you got your
first taste of it in 1996. Have you ever thought that that there were far
more "advanced" digital modes, superior to and more efficinet than CW, as
long as one decided to connect a PC to a radio? I personally ignore
computer CW....CW is not meant for a computer nor will it ever be...it is
a human mode that has a "body language" to it that computers are not good
at reading. For computers, PSK31 is a very simple, far superior machine
mode to computer CW in every way. If you said "PSK31, welcome to the new
millenium" I could go along with that. But computer generated CW? Sort of
like attaching a lawn mower engine to a bicycle and calling it a
motorcycle, isn't it? But far be it from me to criticize your toys. ;-)



PSK31 is obsolete ... and much too slow to be useful.

What software do you use to encode/decode and xfer mp3's and videos with
on the bands? What encryption method (algorithm) do you prefer? mp3?
ogg-vorbis? Do you use the same method for your speech packets? Do you
use variable bit encoding? Are you aware that ogg-vorbis is open source
and can be freely used?

You have missed the whole point, does the above help clarify it for you?

You missed my point. Psk31 is an example of a computer mode that connects
directly to a PC sound card, like "computer" CW. I did not need to go into
more sophisticated modes to trump your example of electronic CW as being new
millenium high technology. It was a very poor example.

Psk31 is just one a newer mode that is simpler than computer CW and better.

BTW, it is not obsolete. Check 14.070 MHz when the band is open (or not)
when you get a chance.

Anyway, I do not understand your query; are you saying that mp3 is an
"encryption" method? I thought it was an audio codec (like ogg vorbis). Yes,
I am aware that ogg vorbis is open source. Do you wish to change the thread
to discuss audio codecs?

If you intended to discuss encryption as a separate topic, you had better
not be planning on sending "encypted" communications over the bands unless
you are controlling satellite telemetry from your earth station.

Or are you saying that sending audio codecs over the bands is your best
example of new millenium high technology? That is being done right now and
you can buy it pre-packaged in the latest Kenwood rice box if you wish.
