I've been using JVCOM32 without too much trouble and am receiving a weather
fax right now on 12781.1 - a good clear image in a fairly noisy marina
environment. And yes, I do get a spectrum display when the input jack is
unplugged. As soon as a signal from the ICOM 802 is applied to my mike
input (on a VAIO laptop) the spectrum display moves over to the "white side"
and tightens up nicely. I have not tried any of the other bells and
whistles, ony fax, but the program seems to work as discribed. I had to
browse the help files and trouble shooting suggestions at first and did not
find it particularly "intuitive" -- but once set up properly it worked for
me.

anyone here have experience like this??


Hi, Tim, and group:

You might check out JVCOMM32 for wx fax and NAVTEX.

If you do sailmail/airmail they have an add on for fax and NAVTEX
also. JVCOMM32 can use the sound card or pactor modem and
sailmail/airmail uses ONLY pactor modem...

Are you saying that this will do ham/SSB email by software, not
PACTOR modem??

Thanks.

I tried the JVCOMM32 for the weather fax and navtex and couldn't get it
to work. The SeaTTY worked instantly. JVCOMM32 didn't have an email
function.. I think the guy is saying that the Sailmail function needs a
pactor modem.

FWIW, I have not been able to get JVCOMM32 to work either. I tried on my
boat in my electrically noisy marina and I tried at my brother's place.
Nothing useful on the spectrum display no matter which wefax station I
tried. I was pretty sure I was correctly tuned in to at least one of
them.
Does anyone know if you should see a spectrum displayed on the spectrum
analyzer even when there is no signal going into my laptops Line In jack?
With not input, and all inputs set to Mute, I still see a signal
displayed. Thought this might be messing up reception.

I'm going to try SeaTTY this coming weekend.
