<br>
KM6LYW Radio demos sending a Winlink email over HF using<br>
Rhizomatica's Mercury soft modem ...<br>
<br>
Digging a bit more and I found this software repository :<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/Rhizomatica/mercury" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/Rhizomatica/mercury</a><br>
<br>
Downloaded the zip to my slackware 15.0, took less then a minute to <br>
compile<br>
and install, the binary comes up, now I need to play with this. This <br>
sounds<br>
like what I have been looking for, for a long time, a linux OFDM modem, <br>
not<br>
just any modem by the sounds of it.<br>
<br>
Clearly I have not been paying enough attention, has anyone followed <br>
these<br>
folks over the years ? Has anyone tried earlier versions of the <br>
software.<br>
<br>
Bob, this not the same as the HERMES modem you were telling me about, no <br>
?<br>
