Subject: PKS31 SIGNAL REPORTS
I am new to the world of digital modes and am enjoying the adventure ! I
have Digipan up and running on my Kachina....as PKS31 is a visual mode
"point and click" on the waterfall how do you translate bright yellow/green
or dark and light blue signal traces into signal reports, ie 559 537 etc.
Am I missing something.

Beats me. The only bona fide S9+20 meter readings I get come from my
neighbor down the street ;-). RST is subjective. Alas, so are most meters.
Reports I give are very subjective, but I try to be, er, uh, consistent in
my subjectivity.
The QRP-heads will tell you "100% copy" is all that really counts.
Some programs, such as the various WinPSKs, and the very beta but promising
gpsk31 for Linux, can show a spectrum mode where you can roughly measure in
dB how strong the sig is relative to adjacent background noise. I suppose
that would quantify things a little.

Subject: problems connecting to a packet bbs
I'm just getting acquainted with packet radio. Yesterday I got my tnc hooked
up (a unit from symek in Germany) and it seems to be working just fine and I
have been trying to connect to a bbs on 145.01.
When in monitor mode, I can see packets on this frequency periodically,
although there doesn't seem to be a lot of traffic.
When I try to connect, my transmitter keys up just fine, and I see myself
sending packets out to SEABBS.
Occasionally SEABBS will respond and I'm able to get a connect. Maybe one
out of a hundred connection attempts will result in a connect. here's an
example:
* c seabbs
1:fm KD7GND to SEABBS ctl SABM+
1:fm KD7GND to SEABBS ctl SABM+
1:fm KD7GND to SEABBS ctl SABM+
1:fm KD7GND to SEABBS ctl SABM+
1:fm KD7GND to SEABBS ctl SABM+
1:fm SEABBS to KD7GND ctl UA-
* (1) CONNECTED to 1:SEABBS *
1:fm SEABBS to KD7GND ctl I00^ pid F0
SEA:N7FSP-10} Please wait, trying n7fsp
SEA:N7FSP-10} Please wait, trying n7fsp
1:fm SEABBS to KD7GND ctl RR0+
1:fm KD7GND to SEABBS ctl RR1-
1:fm SEABBS to KD7GND ctl RR0+
1:fm KD7GND to SEABBS ctl RR1-
1:fm SEABBS to KD7GND ctl RR0+
1:fm KD7GND to SEABBS ctl RR1-
1:fm SEABBS to KD7GND ctl RR0+
1:fm KD7GND to SEABBS ctl RR1-
So far, I have been unable to get beyond this point. After the packets shown
above, SEABBS stops sending me packets, and my TNC disconnects.
I've tried things like typing a ? to see what commands are possible on the
BBS, but there is no response.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks very much for your help
