I have found this is actually a re-invention on my part as it it is just a very slow version of Piccolo Mark1 (VSPMk1 ???) invented by some English boffin in1957 !!! Most recently it has been re-re-invented by some US hams under the name of PUA-43 and PGP-1. I will probably use AFK (or VSPMk1) for more 9kHz experiments in the future. start quote :- "However, sending one tone from an "alphabet" of many holds some promise." end quote :- I am working at a very slow rate on a soundcard program I call SCARAB (SoundCard in Amateur Radio Application Bundle) which brings together QRSS, VFSKCW, Wanjina (FDK), Piccolo (VSPMk1, AFK, whatever...) and some kind of calibration utility. Might be ready for you guys by your next winter. Something else to play with :-) Just learning about callbacks, messaging and threads.
