Re: SDR RS-ID Skimmer
Interesting concept Andy; I'd like to see an SDR RSID Skimmer linked to
PSK Reporter. The Reed Solomon identifiers have greater sensitivity than
the majority of digital modes and their detection capabilities would
allow us to see more QRP signals on the map. In addition to mode and
frequency information, Patrick's CALL ID can send station details such
as beam heading, antenna gain, grid and power.
Hope to run with you this weekend to see who can capture the most
RS-ID's with the SDR Andy -- so far, you're the champ!

I will be QRV today , simultaneously from 14065 to 14115 using
Multipsk with an SDR and RS-ID receive activated. I will thus be able
to receive any RS-IDs heard within this range . I will also have
Multipsk's Call ID activated. So lets see if I can hear you and log
you. I will still be able to log your ID to disk even if not in the
shack (I'll be in and out doing various things this Mother's Day).
Please make your calls in the USUAL way, no "broadcasting". Also
please "QRL?" first to make sure the frequency is not in use. I'm
interested in determining how much activity I miss when in non-SDR
mode and listening to just the traditional 3-4 Khz range on 20M . So,
please use RS ID when you call CQ or respond to a call. It would seem
to me that RS-ID and an SDR could be used to form some sought of
"RS-ID Skimmer" that could turn out to be as useful as a CW Skimmer.
e.g
13:45:25 UTC BPSK31 14.0710 M
13:44:56 UTC OLIVIA-8-500 14.0730 M
13:42:26 UTC OLIVIA-16-500 1302 Hz
