I agree that emergency services needs a high speed , robust HF data mode,
not requiring specialized modems to operate.
As an designer and operator of a communications, command and control unit ,
I disagree with your choice of software, since a computer in these untis has
to do more than act as a data terminal. Other requirements for that computer
would be for mapping software, word processing, VHF packet, and the like.
We have used all of those on our emergency deployments in the past.
Most volunteer operators would be familiar with Windows, which would make it
one less thing to train on. It is easy to find operators who use the
popular software such as Word, on a regular basis.
Having been involved with emergency managment/planning for many years, the
KISS principal still applies: Keep it simple, stupid! So , despite your love
of Linux, that should probably stay on your home computer rather than in a
command post with many operators of different skills.
With respect to the mode, well I am not convinced that MT63 works better
than MFSK under really poor conditions, although the baud rate is higher. I
haven'y had the opportunityto try them side by side when conditions are
poor, and look forward to that. If OLIVIA ever gets written for windows,
that might be the way to go ......
Sorry if I have offended all you Linux lovers, but in the real world ,
Windows should rule the emergency computer world...
