ports.
I realized that you could operate RTTY, PACTOR etc on the HF port and that
others could link up with your BBS on the packet ports at the same time.
But I wasn't aware that you could have a QSO on HF PACTOR and one or more
Packet QSOs on the VHF ports at the same time! Maybe I misunderstood what
you said.
I always thought that you could either have a HF PACTOR etc QSO using TERM 5
mode or PACKET QSOs on the PACKET Ports BUT NOT BOTH!
I wish SCS stuck with one interface. Like the KAM -- I like the KAM's host
mode!
I also don't like TERM 0 -- most dumb terminals will not work properly with
TERM 0 mode. TERM 0 works okay in CMD mode but once you switch into a QSO
mode (e.g.PACTOR) overprinting occurs! -- a real pain. You have to change
the dumb terminal parameters if you can. If you do then you get double
spacing in CMD mode. Unfortunately some dumb terminals will not
automatically add a LF after receiving a CR from a modem -- so you always
get overprinting -- you better read fast !!
I don't think that Peter really knows how a normal dumb terminal works! I
told him about it but I doubt he will make any changes to the firmware. Its
too bad that the PTC II did not follow the design of the KAM which provides
a lot of flexibility when setting up the terminal parameters (e.g. LFADD
etc)
When designing my own simple terminal program (using macros) for use with
PTC II, I also did not like the inconsistencies.. Sometimes you used Quit
to exit a menu to the main command prompt, sometimes you use PT. A real
pain! I am sure you have run into the same problem!
I look forward to your program. It sounds like it will be the only
commercially available program for the PTC II that will support the PTC II's
weird WA8DED host mode for packet!
When will your program be available?

WinPack supports WA8DED via its internal TF2.7b host mode and also via
the SV2AGW Packet Engine.
It all depends what you want to do on packet - If you want advanced mail
and bulletin handling features, then WinPack is obviously a better
choice for packet than the other programs discussed in this thread.

Subject: Digital Image Transmission
Hi, All!
Does anyone know of any detailed siteson image processing? I am also looking
at digital image transmission over noisy radio channels. I need a lot of
info on pre-processing (i.e. things like colour - space separation,
quantization, discrete cosine transforms) and transmission over noisy radio
channels (things like sequential edge addressing, inter-leaving, arranging
DC differently...). I have developed a C program that simulates this, but
need a lot of theoretical info. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you
