Experimental modems
RadioMail is adding experimental modems so operators can gain real over-the-air experience with them. Mercury is the first. These modems are labeled experimental because the list of new options keeps growing and it’s still unclear which performs best. Expect some to come and go as on-air results show which ones are worth keeping.
Mercury HF Modem
- Install Mercury HF Modem from the App Store.
- In RadioMail, add the Mercury modem under devices. See Devices.
- The Winlink directory does not publish modes beyond the ones it already lists, so add the station yourself with Add Station. Each entry is one channel. Add the callsign, mode and frequency. See Stations directory.
Mercury is also supported in peer-to-peer listening for incoming connections. Use Listen in a radio session so you can try it with another RadioMail operator without needing a public gateway.
