[OZAPRS] FT8 for HF APRS ?

[vk4tec at tech-software.net]

Been playing 9k6 here ICOM 706 KPC9612 to Software Defined Radio and Direwolf and Kenwood THD72A

The audio level I had to back off and play with the key up delays to get close to 100%

//

I have noticed that DireWolf walks all over the TNC

I have my own low bit rate HF capable position/ aprs reporting modem etc but I was thinking at FT8, given the widespread use, would make a good replacement for FSK300 (which is dumb arse poorly suited with no FEC on HF), and that the decoders allow for multiple simultaneous overlapping transmissions in the same BW.


doing a port for dire wolf would be fairly straightforward.
