setup hint or tip for testing a NBEMS setup .... I upgraded my NBEMS software to 2.13 ... and to test it I did the following ... I fixed up a short test message in notepad. Sent it through Wrap. I have voice recorder on my cell phone but any tape recorder or digital recorder will do. Set the recorder to record mode - drop the wrapped file into fldigi - record the message send. Now we have a recording we can use to test the receive setup of NBEMS. Now play back this recording to see if fldigi is set up to capture automatically. Hopefully if everything is setup correctly the file will be waiting in the appropriate folder. This saves wating until the next training net to see if things are working. Anyway this works for me.

Carl,
Good tip.  I actually keep a digital voice recorder in my bugout kit in the event I feel the need to keep a permanent record of any emergency traffic.  That is a good idea.
When I first started playing with FL-digi I got the bright idea to load it on two computers and let them send data back and forth across the room.  It works like a charm.  I place each computer a few feet to several yards away from each other and just make sure the speakers and mics are turned on.
I thin send traffic from one machine to the other using acoustical coupling.  Folks, that is a fancy term for letting the tones fly through the air instead of wires.  I was able to really tweak my skills doing this.  Especially with FLARQ.  We are not officially using FLARQ right now but will eventually integrate it into our tools, especially for use between our major fixed stations.
If any of you other folks have any good tips for playing with FL-digi please post them up!
