Re: [digitalradio] Re: QEX Article on HF Digital Propagation
Or do they use a 3000 Hz BW for testing purposes and compare modes that way? Yes to compare. For example, I want to compare modes at S/N=-10 dB: I send a a signal of 1 mWatt and 10 mW of noise in 3KHz (so 3.33 mW per KHz). Now among this noise you can send your 1 mWatt signal in the way you want (RTTY, PSK...), the bandwidth you want (within 3 KHz) and also the coding you want. The judge will be the error rate: 2% is good, almost 100 % is bad. I guess you mean 2% character errors after going through the FEC mill? For pskmail ARQ to repair that efficiently you want an error rate of 1%. Anything worse generates lots of repeats or overhead through shorting of the packets. Fortunately we can often find a channel which is good enough by using the optimum band and/or going to a free frequency. 73, Rein PA0R Announce your digital presence via our Interactive Sked Page at http://www.obriensweb.com/drsked/drsked.php Yahoo!

[digitalradio] Re: How to check my PSK modulation?
Hi Mike and all who replied to my post, Many thanks for the tips and help - I'm going to print them all out and take them up to the shack (it's the club shack since I can't have deadly radiation-emitting antennas at home, and there's no internet connection up there) and play around a little today. I don't think my finances will stretch at the moment to include the IMD Meter - it's certainly a great idea (and maybe a future project for homebrew?), but seems a lot to pay for just one digimode. I bought a new medium-range soundcard on Friday (SoundBlaster Audigy - cost about $50) and installed it yesterday - this should be at least better than the onboard card in the PC there and should help all round. As far as RF getting into the system, well the microHam cables are all shielded, and so is most everything at the shack. I found the other tips and help particularly interesting and useful, since they involve simple measures and rig settings which anybody could easily apply, and I'll play around this morning with those and other ideas. Thanks to all again, 73 and good digi-DX Rob DK1ROB Hi, Rob; You might want to consider this - http://www.usinterface.com/IMDMeter.html I'm planning on buying one. Good luck, Mike N5UKZ

[digitalradio] A tad off-topic - Excess coax
Just put up a coax-fed Windom antenna and have about 15-20 feet of excess coax. I'd prefer to keep the overall length of the coax, just not sure if coiling it or laying it out flat would be better. I know the older Windoms needed a tight coil of coax near the antenna, but the 1:1 balun in this one should negate that. Any ideas on which might be better? Tnx es 73 Dave KB3MOW

[digitalradio] Test in the new ALE400 system (ALE on 400 Hz bandwidth)
Hello to all, After some tests in ALE400 saturday with europeans Hams and some reports, I fixed several small problems and added some improvements (as, in ARQ FAE, the automatic disconnection and display of the connection/disconnection state). So, for the ones interested by tests, here is a new test version in a ZIP test package available in my site http://f6cte.free.fr/MULTIPSK_TEST_28_10_2007.ZIP (copy and paste this adress in Internet Explorer (or equivalent) Net adress field). It contains the Multipsk test version, the help files (in English and French) and the specifications (in English) of the ARQ FAE mode (version 1.4). Create a tempory folder (C:/TEST, for example), unzip the files in it and start C:\TEST\TEST\Multipsk.exe (the auxiliary files will be created automatically). The initial central frequency in ALE400 is 1625 Hz as in ALE. For the frequencies, here is a proposition of Bonnie (VR2/KQ6XA) ALE400 Proposed Channels (experimental) VFO DIAL FREQ 1837.0 USB = Texting (Europe, etc) 3589.0 USB = Texting + Auto + Scanning 7037.5 USB = Texting + Auto + Scanning (Europe, etc) 7065.0 USB = Texting (North America, etc) 7099.5 USB = Texting + Auto Scanning (North America, etc) 10141.5 USB = Texting + Auto + Scanning 14074.0 USB = Texting 14094.0 USB = Texting + Auto + Scanning 18104.5 USB = Texting + Auto + Scanning 21094.0 USB = Texting + Auto + Scanning 24926.0 USB = Texting + Auto + Scanning 28146.0 USB = Texting + Auto + Scanning Note: All channels are 1625Hz Centre Audio. 73 Patrick

Dave KB3MOW It should not have any effect. Depending on the size of the coax (rg-8 or rg-58) I would coil it up in a 5 inch to a 1 foot in diameter coil outside the shack. If there is any RF on the outside of the coax, it will help keep it out of the shack. If there is not any rf on the outside of the coax , then it will not have any effect. __ Do You Yahoo!?

[digitalradio] Re: JT65 / WSTJ / USB SignaLink
Hello Andy, thank you for getting back to me. Ok, I think I'm starting to get the idea. I can't cut and paste the text from the DOS window, but could certainly post a screen shot of it. But in summary here is what I've got: First I have an error reading wsjt.ini and continuuing with defaults. Next I have a message ID Interval 10 This sequence is repeated a second time. Then I have a message Using PortAudio followed by a table. I am not sure how this table will come accross in this message but here is a try: Audio Device Input Output Name 0 2 0 Micorsoft Sound Mapper-Input 1 2 0 Realtec HD Audio Rear Input 2 1 0 Modem #2 Line Record 3 2 0 USB Audio Codec 4 0 2 Microsoft Sound Mapper Output 5 0 2 Realtec HD Audio rear output 6 0 1 Modem #2 Line Playback 7 0 2 USB Audio CODEC Default Input:0 Output:4 Requested Input:0 Output:0 Opening devise 0 for input, 4 for output. Audio streams running normally. I need to point out that the Realtec is the internal sound card and the USB Audio Codec is the SignaLink sound card. I hope this will be able to help you point me in the right direction.

Re: [digitalradio] Re: JT65 / WSTJ / USB SignaLink
Did you try to change the requested input and output settings to those that match the USB audio codec ? Change the settings in options in the main WSJT area.

Re: [digitalradio] A tad off-topic - Excess coax
Very little. It is a fairly broadband 1:1 transformer at HF frequencies and it forces the currents in the center conductor and shield to be equal. The amount of power lost in such a choke balun is very small compared to the power delivered to the load.

I'd prefer to keep the overall length of the coax, just not sure if coiling it or laying it out flat would be better. I know the older Windoms needed a tight coil of coax near the antenna, but the 1:1 balun in this one should negate that. Any ideas on which might be better?
