Airlink Express - A Hidden Gem for Digital Modes
16/02/14 06:30
The other day I was having a QSO with a guy who said he was using Airlink Express for his digital mode work.
Airlink Express? Never heard of it, but I love trying out new software. So I did a search and found the site for the software. How did this little gem remain so elusive for so long?
The software can be found at http://www.airlinkexpress.org and is freeware, but contributions are solicited and appreciated.
The software is very easy to set-up and use. It supports PSK, MFSK and RTTY. It also has a built-in logbook and has some basic radio interface to grab frequency. Like most digital mode applications, you can create all sorts of macros to make it more efficient to use.
Airlink Express seems to be a very capable program and so far I have used it to make several contacts on PSK. I have to still try using it with the other modes but I am it will work equally well.
Give Airlink Express a try as I think many of you will like it.
