This is an outstanding series of videos. If not for these videos, I still would not know how to use NBEMS. Thank you.

There is absolutely easy-to-follow section in the manual about typing the symbols. It's a typing RTFM situation. Many thanks for the ideas in using this useful feature. 73.

I am trying to use flwrap. First if you use it for pictures is it too large file size to make it practical? Second, on the receiving end, how do you find the received file? Haven't found much info on flwrap. BTW found your videos very good, thank you!

[@K4REF]

Pics are always difficult to xmit due to their huge size (remember we are doing emcomm which means "short transmissions" are the rule). If you must send a pic, first thing you need to do is reduce that to a very small size (480x480). Then use Flamp to do a "file transfer" which is what it is designed for. That way if you miss a small portion of the file... you can resend only that part. What my video on Flamp. And... thanks for the kind words. ;oD

[@paulhastings3109]

tnx been off the ham bands for to many years. this digital stuff is every interesting. just pick up a FTDX1200 and SIGNALINK. need to get a better computer windows 10 just don't know desktop or laptop. like sitting out back and enjoying the hobby. use to be not to bad with cw but at 72 the mind is a little slow. any info you could pass along would be helpful. not real sure how to put it all together or the software. iam a vet with PTSD and it don't help. tnxs for the info what logging program package would you use. sorry for being so windy kq4cd Paul

[@carllarson8562]

if i load your macros to my pc, will it overwrite my existing macros or can i preview them first?

[@K4REF]

Carl Larson it's a separate file with a different name. You will still have your old macro file in that folder. So you can load mine and edit it out as much as you wish.

[@stevestalker6761]

I use a simpler format for macro labels. X=transmit and R=Receive. For normal CQ's it would be CQ X|R. BTU would be BTU |R. X if the macro uses and R if macro uses . I separate them by a doublebar (shift \). I don't mess with the special characters. Been teaching fldigi for years and this makes labeling much easier to teach. I also use gofreq 1000 and 1500 to make waterfall navigation easier. BTW, love the Knoxville part of TN. Steve KC8TVW - Toledo

[@K4REF]

That's a great idea Steve. Might have to adopt that. For new users... at least they will know what the symbols are suppose to mean. thanks again.
