On VOA Radiogram during the weekend of 15-16 February 2014 (program 46), we will try another simultaneous transmission of text and an image. This time it will be text in MFSK32 centered on 2000 Hz, and the image in MFSK64 centered on 1000 Hz.

Here is the procedure:

1) Have two instances of Fldigi running.

2) Turn on the RxID (green) on both instances of Fldigi.

3) After the mode changes to MFSK64, turn off the RxID on your
second instance of Fldigi.

Program 46 will also include Chinese characters, transmitted as MFSK32 and later (and faster) as MFSK64L.

Here is the lineup for VOA Radiogram, program 46, 15-16 February 2014:

  1:35  MFSK32: Program preview
