Dear amateur radio fediverse,
I have just started to read about Winlink. It seems like there are multiple RF protocols in use. I have a QRP Labs low bands QMX and want to know if it's possible to work Winlink using it, preferably from Linux? (It only supports modes that do not send multiple tones simultaneously.)
Do any of the "RF access" protocols used by Winlink (AX.25? PACTOR? VARA?) have this single-tone property?
I also saw that some of the protocols are proprietary. That doesn't sound too good for portability...
Is there any combo of mode and software this FLOSS-loving amateur should check out?
