Dear amateur radio fediverse,

I have just started to read about Winlink. It seems like there are multiple RF protocols in use. I have a QRP Labs low bands QMX and want to know if it's possible to work Winlink using it, preferably from Linux? (It only supports modes that do not send multiple tones simultaneously.)

Do any of the "RF access" protocols used by Winlink (AX.25? PACTOR? VARA?) have this single-tone property?

I also saw that some of the protocols are proprietary. That doesn't sound too good for portability...

Is there any combo of mode and software this FLOSS-loving amateur should check out?

@raek I'm using Vara but I couldn't tell you if it was using more than one frequency at the same time in principle. That being said, listening to my Vara transmissions, they very much sound like single tone.

There are ostensibly also differences between the free and the paid for version in how it codes, so the full version might use multitone

I am a Linux-only and FLOSS-loving person and have been asking those questions, too, but more to myself than to the Fediverse, so you're smarter!

I stumbled over https://getpat.io/ and wanted to try that out eventually, but haven't yet. This may or may not be pertinent. If you do the homework I've been procrastinating... 😁

Neat, but bear in mind that Pat's VARA support requires WINE and EA5HVK's Windows executable (plus payment for full speed).
