The Southeast Minnesota Digital Net
|
|
Southeast Minnesota Digital Net - Thursdays at 9 p.m. local time on the
147.255 (PL100) repeater. The net uses NBEMS protocol, FLDIGI, FLWRAP
and FLMSG software to practice sending and receiving digital messages
using the MT-63/2000 protocol, with long interleave and extended
characters. The current version of FLDIGI should have the proper
defaults for MT-63/2K. We take voice checkins for those who can't
participate on MT-63.
NBEMS stands for 'Narrow Band Emergency Messaging
System'. It is becoming a widely accepted standard for amateur emcomm
digital communications. These tutorials show how to set up and use
NBEMS: Narrow Band Emergency
Messaging Software (NBEMS)
