- Yes, the tones are different amplitude because they are not centered in
- the rig's bandpass.
-
- I remember running into this years ago on my old sb-100, and what I did
- was to get another crystal for the carrier generator and switch between
- it and the usual lsb crystal. These days on my FT767GX all I do is
- select FSK mode.

- Thanks, Jeff. Actually I understood that the above routing can be

- it goes to N0HAM, on Wednesday to KB0XYZ, etc. And maybe have it
- so it works on a bi-weekly basis, depending on how many people a
- given area has that wants to deliver traffic. So I might get all
- the 809xx @ ntsco on Monday of the first and third weeks of a month,
- and someone else get it on the second and fourth weeks.
- What do you think?

- We're using it, or trying to. However,I still feel nervous about 'throwing
- a message at the packet nts system', instead of handling it myself.
- More reliability in the system might help. Or better yet, enhanced
- delivery systems. Here's what I responded to on another posting:
-
- This reply is directed to anyone who is taking part in this discussion.
- I am heavily involved in traffic handling and I will use any mode to
- pass it, although my primary interest is CW. Here's how I would like to
- see the delivery end of NTS traffic over packet handled. You BBS
- sysops please let me know if it's possible with the current BBS
- software.
-
- The problems I see with the end delivery of packet nts traffic are:
-
- 1. ANYONE can take the message and (attempt) delivery, even if they
- know nothing about traffic handling.
-
- 2. Some BBS systems do not allow a person to 'kill' a message once
- it's been read for delivery. I WILL NOT deliver traffic from
- such a board as it's embarrassing to attempt delivery when
- someone else has already done so.
-
- 3. If someone does not check in on a regular basis and check for
- traffic, it WILL sit and get stale.
-
- I would like to see local Amateurs volunteer to be the
- end delivery operators for NTS traffic. Each person that volunteered
- would be sent ALL NTSXX @ ZIPCODE NTS traffic that comes in on their assigned
- day. Ideally, they would have a 24 hour personal BBS system that
- has auto-forward capabilities. If a person does not have a 24 hour
- station with auto-forward capabilities, it would be his/her
- responsibility to check the full service board on the assigned day.
-
- So, can present BBs software be configured to forward nts traffic
- to a given station, preferably re-address it to that Amateur's
- call sign so they know there is messages waiting? Can it be set
- up to send it to a different person each day, with maybe a different
- person on odd or even weeks (don't want to leave out anyone who
- wants to play)? This is rather the way the NTS works. Only at the
- section level are people invited to randomly check into the nets.
- On all other levels, folks volunteer and are assigned a given function
- for a given time (NCS, liaison, etc.). This would have to be a
- function that would be performed automatically once the sysop set
- it up. The BBS sysops have enough work to do running their
- boards as it is. If present BBS software does not support
- such a function, what you you all think of the idea?
-
- BTW, thanks to all the BBS sysops out there that keep the boards
- up and running. I know it's a big job and a lot of work.
