Trouble with email?   

It seems like a lot of folks have issues with email.  Email on HF is not as clean as when you are connected 
to the internet.   Here are a few tips to help you get started for both sail Mail and Winlink. 

 

Review the Sailmail Primer: 

http://www.sailmail.com/smprimer.htm

  There are some 

excellent application information in  Sailmail Primer and may solve all your issues. 

 

Get the internet mode working first as that will make sure your account is set up and 
you are using the proper password. {Select 

Module

 then 

Internet Access

 

It is critical that you pick the appropriate site for getting your email.   Don’t forget that 
this is really radio communications, not wire.  If you cannot send and receive to the site, 
you will not get email from the site. 

 

 

SailMail -> 

 

 

 

 

 

Winlink --> 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure the system is working: 

1.

 

The complete software package should have included

: Airmail, Airmail's "Viewfax" fax/grib 

viewer, "icepac" propagation program files, and possibly SCS firmware updates and 
drivers for the PTC-IIusb modem if applicable.
