I tried to decode it with jvfax60's sstv mode. But, I had no luck. The jvfax60 program has modes like b/w 8, 16, 32 and "Scottie" and "Martin." The hams were using modes like "Robot 72." Can the jvfax60 program recieve the "Robot" modes? Is there a program that will?

Harker, N1PVB maybe here's a chance to start something. i know of unicode but i don't know enough. has it become standardized enough to be able to be something we can start using in amateur radio (as in we could write software or build hardware for it for now and when the PC guys catch up we'll be ready for them)? hate to see another long delay like there was with ASCII. sounds like a project to me (maybe even a mag article).

Cellular mods may well be legal. Seems to me that the easy way to state this is that (A) the courts must assume that the Constitution is valid and that laws can only be enforced if they do not conflict with the Constitution, BUT (B) the cops -- and everyone else -- must assume that a new law is valid unless and until the courts say otherwise. ------------------------------ End of Ham-Digital Digest V93 #102 ****************************** ******************************
