Contact info is below |
WHY IS IT BECOMING SO POPULAR? |
The focus is interoperability between
EOCs, shelters, neighborhood distribution points, clubhouses, Command Posts,
NGO and other emergency sites. This is reliably achieved with FM communication using the accurate and robust MT63 digital mode. At 200 words per minute, it is vastly more speedy than voice modes... especially for complex documents like the Excel spreadsheet to the right. |

TYPICAL HF NBEMS >>>>>>>>>>>> Equipment NOT required for PBC Basic NBEMS on FM. Advanced hams that have complex
stations, usually with special cables & interfaces, can use still use them
for complex documents. Obviously they are not nearly as portable and require
much more training and experience to operate. |
PBC BASIC NBEMS <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Ultra-portable and very simple. Just a radio and common computer are needed
...that's all! The radio is held up to the computer for "acoustical coupling"
of the data tones. Even at low volume levels, the complex documents are sent reliably.
The key is the amazing, free software. The speaker/mic is optional. |
