It's pretty lonely there. I have a friend who twisted my arm to get into Clover when it first came out, using the original PCI-4000 boards. He still seems to like Clover, mostly because of the quasi-full-duplex operation; at least I haven't been able to get him to try any of the newer modes. I haven't used it in quite some time. The new sound card modes seem to offer a lot more activity and perhaps better performance. -- jhhaynes at earthlink dot net Article: 51070 of rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc From: "Hank Oredson" References: <2f5dk1pnv8kg84m0hi8ujnsmmh30k1s2h1@4ax.com> <11ke5lk917a302b@corp.supernews.com> Subject: Re: Clover Message-ID: Date: Sat, 08 Oct 2005 03:36:04 GMT "Hippie" wrote in message news:11ke5lk917a302b@corp.supernews.com... > > wrote in message > news:2f5dk1pnv8kg84m0hi8ujnsmmh30k1s2h1@4ax.com... >> I recently purchased a second-hand Hal DXP-38 which works rather well >> on RTTY as I discovered in the CQWW RTTY contest recently but I really >> do want to find some live person to person Clover activity. >> Is there any?

The CLOVER BBS forwarding operations pretty much shut down a couple years ago in favor of PACTOR II. I still have some controllers, both P38 and PCI-4000, but have not had them on air for a long time now. I tune the digital segments >from time to time, but no longer hear any CLOVER sigs. -- ...

Unfortunately my station is very modest with at best an MFJ magnetic loop (horizontal) or a 7Mhz doublet (which is useable most bands) so I wouldn't ever guarantee a signal into the USA but I will give it a go.

Most of my PACTOR live QSOs (with a human at the other end) nowadays are skeds with friends. You may want to contact some of the CLOVER BBSs listed here to verify your setup: http://users.iafrica.com/z/zs/zs5s/index_buls.html Being a fixed station (non-/mm) I'm mainly using the numerous (PACTOR) BBSs to probe the propagation. Much better than monitoring beacons, because it also tells you how your signal arrives over there.

It only has version 3.06 firmware. I was hoping to find a version 5 or later EPROM. Does anyone have an EPROM to sell me or can tell me where to get the bin file to burn my own EPROM. I have talked to Kantronics and they told me they no longer support this TNC. Thanks.
