Not that I'm sure anyone actually operates DSB? None of my rigs support it, AM yes but not DSB with suppressed carrier. Funny choice for mode to simulate but I assume it was a compromise about software complexity / bandwidth and usability.<br><br>If it were a 100% realistic simulation of SSB HF operating not many folks would stick with it, and they are running a business after all!<br><br>If you're not a ham, or a ham without the right gear and want to get a feeling for operating on HF you could do a lot worse. I played with another one that was just silly and might as well have been skype group chat, can't remember the name now.<br><br>For my part I prefer the unpredictability and frustration of radio. :-)<br><br>Cheers, Chris H.<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: "Kevin Cosgrove" <krcosgrove@me.com><br>Sent: Tuesday, 26 August, 2014 12:42<br>To: thelist@radiowiki.org.nz<br>Subject: [TheList] Hamsphere<br><br>Anyone on this list playing with Hamsphere<br><br>Ciao<br>Kevin<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>TheList mailing list<br>TheList@radiowiki.org.nz<br>http://radiowiki.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/thelist_radiowiki.org.nz<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>TheList mailing list<br>TheList@radiowiki.org.nz<br>http://radiowiki.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/thelist_radiowiki.org.nz<br></body>
