Fans of Multipsk will be happy to know that Patrick, F6CTE, developer of the program, is in the process of adding the Mil-Std-188-110A serial modem mode to the popular decoding software. This mode will become part of the professional package and not the freeware version.Mil-Std 188-110a is a mode commonly used by various military services, including the US Department of Defense services, US Coast Guard, the Chinese military, Mexican Navy, Swedish Navy, the Australian ADF-HFCS, Austria Navy, Swiss diplo nets, Georgia military, Venezuela Army/Navy, and the Spanish Navy to name a few. Since the Skysweep software is going away in the near future, this is very welcomed news. Patrick's program just keeps getting better and is very reasonably priced to het the professional modes.
