Thank you all for your input. I have visited the links and am impressed. I have been contemplating which direction to our local hospital net and these have given me some insight. 73, Steve, W8TER

Androscoggin ARES/RACES use to work with the Central Maine Regional Resource Center doing Quarterly Radio Test. Since the Spring we have joined with NH ARES Hospital Amateur Radio Program, HARP Net on Wednesdays at 1600L on the first and second week of the month when the net is held on the Mount Washington 146.655MHz-100Hz Repeater. We have voiced and fldigi/flmsg HICS-213. Fortunately, we have lately used only fldigi/flmsg ;) Digital Modes used have ranged from PSK125, PSK125R, PSK250R, PSK125RC5, PSK250RC5,8PSK125 and attempted 8PSK500F. Androscoggin ARES/RACES Net uses PSK125RC5, PSK250RC5, and 8PSK500F. The PSK250RC5 seems the sweet mode(sweet spot is 1500Hz) it can be used on Raspberry Pi 3. PSK125RC5 has been the fallback with slower computers....and Windows boxes ;) I have some notes for the net: http://we1u.us/#hospital and fldigi notes: http://we1u.us/ham/#fldigi Question back to the group: Any plans to have all HICS and ICS Forms in flmsg? Spellcheck? ;) SVG(UML?) for (H)ICS diagrams? sometime down the road.

Re: Narrow Band Emergency Messages
John & the net... Every Tuesday evening, 0330z, 3.581+1500,
MFSK-32, ORCA DIGITAL NET. http://orcadigitalnet.com
Early Ck-in 0315z. It's best to monitor the net a few weeks and
read the Quick Start Guide @ the website. The net is organized for
traffic practice and brisk. We use FLDIGI, FLMSG, & FLAMP
every week. The bands have been difficult lately, w/o much long
skip, but every now & then we get a far eastern ck-in. Most members are west coast and east to UT & ID. My wife
Mindy W7ZAP & I NCS the net. Monitor us a couple weeks and
then check-in and practice digital traffic handling with us. Doug

Steve, How often do you hold your hospital nets and when? Do you use D-STAR ? What about other digital radio modes? We here in the Toledo Ohio area have been holding hospital nets for a couple of years and I am wondering if you might share some of what you do. Thanks. 73, Steve, W8TER

Multiple Instances of FLDigi and FLMsg
N2BHD
I would like to have multiple instances of FLDigi and FLMsg associated with different radios, on my Windows 7 PC. At one time I was able to define a Windows shortcut with the following Target line for an Alinco DR-135 radio:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Fldigi-4.0.17.52\fldigi.exe" --config-dir "C:\Users\Ed\fldigi-alinco-dr135" --flmsg-dir "C:\Users\Ed\NBEMS-alinco-dr135" --arq-server-port 7332 -ti ALINCO_DR-135 FLDigi would use the "--config-dir" path for the unique FLDigi configuration, and the "--flmsg-dir" path for the unique FLMsg files. The current version of FLDigi and FLMsg don't seem to recognize or use the "--flmsg-dir" path. All of the files end up in "C:\Users\Ed\NBEMS.files". Is anyone running multiple instances of FLDigi and FLMsg? Have you configured FLDigi for each radio with unique directory paths? If so, can you explain how you launch FLDigi and FLMsg? Thanks & 73, Ed N2BHD

Re: Narrow Band Emergency Messages
Here in BC we use Winlink. Every 3rd Wednesday we have. Emergency Management BC net. We check in via voice on HF and VHF as well as a Winlink Express Message. The only time I would use NBEMS is with Satern, unfortunately the bands are in the toilet. The net is the same time a club function here and it would have to be an emergency There use to be some nets from California but these nets conflict with my Salvation Army Schedule 73 Don va7qu Satern BC Radio Manager

Re: Narrow Band Emergency Messages

Yes! I'm still
relatively new to NBEMS and haven't used it in an emergency
yet. But it seems tailor made for the circumstances you
describe. For example, you could be of great service to your
community by being able to send NBEMS messages to provincial**
authorities in charge of emergency or first responders or something
like the Red Cross. If nothing else being able to communicate
the need for critical medications or provide a detailed status
report could really make a difference. ** being in the US I'm
not sure how or if Canadian provinces are broken down into
smaller governmental units like a US State breaks down into
county governments.

I live in a rural area in southern Ontario that experiences frequent power outages. Often, phone (and internet) lines are down too. After 24 hours, or thereabouts, cell service deteriorates as backup power drops. That leaves residents isolated. NBEMS has the potential to provide independent messaging, or email, capability until services are restored. This is my principal interest in the technology.

Re: Narrow Band Emergency Messages

I'm a bit late to this thread but we use NBEMS quite extensively in Maine. In my county all of the town stations, the county EOC and home stations are equipped to use NBEMS. We also have a local packet network and Winlink but for real time comms, especially VHF/UHF, NBEMS is fast and efficient. We also have a NH/ME hospital net that uses NBEMS for data transmission. 73, Steve KB1TCE

Hi John: I live in Los Angeles
Co., CA and the volunteer Disaster Communication Service that's
allied with the Sheriff's department does weekly net with
NBEMS. (And a second, smaller emergency comms group I belong to
in my immediate, local area is resuming a second net this week.)

Re: Narrow Band Emergency Messages

Yes, we use it all the time. We have custom forms that we use for message traffic as well as the standard ICS, WX message forms. We have integrated our FLmsg / FLamp files into a linked folder with ARIM/ARDOP. Incoming / stored messages are shared between ARIM and FLmsg / FLamp. This allows for sharing of traffic outside of the standard net times and acts as a backbone network between select stations. Those shared NBEMS files can then be extracted from ARIM and seamlessly resent on another net using FLmsg / FLamp.

Are you on a linked VHF network that is tied to the Thunder

by any chance?
