Re: [digitalradio] Re: RFSM 8000
Thank you for that information, Dimitry, When I read over the MIL-STD/FED-STD/STANAG standards, I could not understand how these slower modes would work all that well by the multi-repeating approach. They repeat multiple times, even if you do not need the repeat (sort of a non automatic ARQ) which seemed very wasteful in terms of throughput. Especially because this was happening at the slower speeds which made them even slower than they might otherwise need to be. When I saw the charts that compare the throughputs with the S/N ratios, there was some improvement in terms of weak signal capability over the non repeating speeds, but none of the modes seemed to be able to compete with Pactor2 speeds at the low S/N levels. When I have asked those who work daily with STANAG type modems how successful they are, they tell me that they often have difficulty with certain paths. Also, because they use inefficient document types (MS Word .doc files) just to send the shortest possible message can take a very long time. They even have some technologies that have duplex voice and that does not always work either. The reason that they use these technologies is because they have to use them due to the need for interoperability. In fact, this is now mandated more and more with regulations. I often wonder if they may eventually rethink some of the modulation schemes or have a switch over to something that can tolerate severe ISI/doppler/ under weak signal conditions that are common with amateur signals? The STANAG modem standards do allow for OFDM modems as well, but I don't think that anyone switches over to OFDM for part of the time when they are normally using a single tone modem. But perhaps the standard allows it? After seeing which modes seem to work the best under the most difficult conditions, (well below zero dB S/N) which are the conditions we often have with amateur communications, it does seem like a few (two under worst conditions) spaced a moderate distance apart, may have the best compromise on throughput vs. robustness. That is why Pactor 2 (and Pactor 3 when operating in the Level 1 speed) work so well. At this time, it does not appear that there is any other mode that can compete with that modulation technique based on all the comparisons that I have been able to find. Again, thanks for your help on this. 73, Rick, KV9U dmitry_d2d wrote: Hello Rick. As regards the speed that is slower 600 in MIL-STD 188-110A/B. There are 300, 150, 75.

The theory of coding says that repetition is the worst way to improve noise immunity. Speed 75 based on the method of spectrum spread by orthogonal consecution by Walsh. It's rater good but this speed uses repetition as well. We consider that the speed 300, 150, 75 allows reaching better characteristics of noise immunity that the standard MIL-STD 188- 110A/B allows. Frankly speaking the standard MIL-STD 188-110A/B has been used our product to be noticed by customers. But true to say it contains nonoptimal solutions. Turning to the point of RFSM we should admit that we have mistaken making the minimal speed - 600. I hope we improve it in the near future. Dmitry.

Re: [digitalradio] Comaparison Table of Major Digital Mode and Logging Apps
Hi Phil, My take is that there is more similarity than difference. Most of the multimode digital programs will support the most commonly used modes. All other modes are very rarely used and can quickly fall into disfavor. Consider the primarily used sound card modes, PSK31, MFSK16, and some Olivia modes that are used for keyboarding. Other modes that may be available include faster PSK speeds up to PSK250, ALE, particularly the FAE forms of the 8FSK ALE waveform, Hell, etc. But these modes are not that commonly used. If you like to experiment with the latest technology, then you would want Multipsk over all the other multimode programs because only Multipsk has these modes available. If you are mostly interested in an ultra high quality, polished interface, you would likely consider Ham Radio Deluxe/Digital Master 780. As has been pointed out, both of these programs can interface with DX Lab and that will give you one of the best suites available, particularly for logging data and handling electronic logging. Standardizing on one program may be best for most hams because they can get better at using a given software program and make the logging easier than having logs scattered around on many different programs. I do find it difficult to switch back and forth between what I consider to be the two main choices. But then I also am interested in the newer NBEMS concept for emergency communications and I tend to favor anything that uses ARQ. Since VBDigi (part of NBEMS suite) does RTTY/MFSK/PSK, it actually works FB for much of what I do. But then a new mode comes along, and it is often found only on Multipsk so you still must use that program anyway for those purposes. At this time Multipsk does not support NBEMS so you have to use the NBEMS suite on either Windows or Linux if you want to use that system. Actually, it is a rather nice problem to have considering that a few years ago we only had hardware solutions, and at great cost for modest performance. 73, Rick, KV9U Phil Wells wrote: Hi All, Am fairly new to ham radio and I read a lot about the different apps for different modes and particularly the multi-function apps like HRD and MixW (for which I have a license) and it's all pretty daunting.

I didn't find anything after a brief Google search and a search of this forum.

[digitalradio] Re: New release (4.7) of MULTIPSK
I would certainly agree to that. I am not a new user of digital or logging software, having used several over the past decade, but every time I attempt to go to Multipsk, I am put off by just too much on the screen at one time. A tabbing system would certainly be one better way. I particularly like the way the the DXLab suite handles the different programs and you can pick and choose exactly what you do want on the screen. Its only drawback is it just doesnt have the capbility of running all the modes that MultiPsk or evn MixW has. When I wish to use a differnt mode, like those, I use MixW in conjunciton with DXLabs DXKeeper logging program. You can also use MultiPsk with DXKeeper (they say) but I simply dont have the time and do not want to put in the effort to use MultiPsk with its very confusing screen.

RE: [digitalradio] UI Design
One possibility is for modem developers to no provide a UI. Instead provide a HTTP or other network interface that can be accessed using web protocols. The UI is then developed by someone else and hosted in a web browser. Before I retired my work was with such a system used to monitor corporate server farms, i.e. 100 or more PC servers in racks. This management system used a web browser UI to allow access from any desktop. The system monitored a plethora of information, e.g. temperature, disk capacity and failure status. One caution about the UI article: There is a difference between a web site and an application interface. A web site needs to grab attention immediately others the user will try a different site. The user of an application will expend more effort toward understanding the application. The motivation is higher since a process of download, install, and setup already consumed effort by the user.

Re: [digitalradio] Re: RFSM 8000
dmitry_d2d wrote: 1. A few words about OFDM and serial tone modem. Let's find out how the fight between ISI and Doppler shift takes place in these systems. OFDM uses the great number of low speed channels so the symbol duration increases. While the duration of ISI is much smaller than symbol duration everything goes well. Consequently there is an aim to increase the number of channels ad infinitum BUT at the same time natural limitation takes place. It's just a Doppler shift effect. Hence there is always a compromise between ISI and Doppler shift. Moreover we should take into consideration a big peak factor which results in non-effective usage of power of transceiver. There are methods directed at improvement of peak-factor, but the most part of them makes the system characteristics worse. In case of serial tone modulation the fight ISI with Doppler is provided with adaptive algorithms. The more effective and faster they are the larger number of Doppler and ISI the modem can manage. As for RFSM it should be mentioned that now it includes rather efficient adaptive algorithms that work properly at a speed of 600(500) up to 4800(4000) bps (wide/narrow mode). To work at a speed 6400(5333) - 8000() much more compound algorithms are needed. In particular using turbo-equalization will improve noise proof feature at all rates. Therefore OFDM and serial tone modem can be more efficient in dependence on channel statement. In my opinion serial tone modem with effective adaptive algorithms is the most effective. We'd like to mention that under certain circumstances either serial tone or OFDM modem can fail to provide connection, for example, when the Doppler shift is extremely high (polar communications). In that case one should use the methods of spectrum spread that extending the symbol in time and frequency. Unfortunately the speed would not be high in this case. So the best way out is to measure the channel characteristics and choose the speed of transmission and modulation method according to them. The full adaptation of the all characteristics is required. 2. About our users. The project RFSM-2400/8000 was initially aimed at organizations (not for HAMs)! (First version had no 0,3-2,7 band, which is adapted for HAMs). Its prime value is that high-performance algorithm is used in it. Consequently only technical specialists of organizations where data (files, mail etc.) transmission through HF is needed can estimate the program at its true worth. They need the following: high speed of connection and data transmission. They are the FIRS GROUP OF OUR USERS. For example there are organizations (our users at the moment) who even haven't looked upon HAM -modems (little speed, instability, absence of files transmission in spite of excellent chat-exchange). If you are interested in RFSM as in a program for chat- exchange (or even for file transmitting but you do not need a high speed) and runner is not important for you:. You are the SECOND GROUP OF OUR USERS. $60 may be a pretty penny for this product for you. There is also not numerous GROUP OF USERS - THE THIRD ONE The representatives of this group are specialists in HF- radiocommunications and radioamateurs at the same time who is interested in algorithms of a high efficiency - the runner of the program. May be $60 is rather expensive for them but they can trial versions for free. They communicate with us suggesting interesting and moreover useful ideas. We really appreciate their advices and suggestions. Due to the THIRD GROUP the first version of RFSM has transformed in the product adopted for HAM. 3 . There are several remarks on the open source codes. a) RFSM-2400 (and all the more RFSM-8000) is not just a dumb modem though such a rate is also possible (it was used in PSKMail). Our product is an accomplished system of communication that provides different types of services including receiving/transmitting e-mail on Internet. b) Speaking about OFDM it should be pointed out that we have got experience in such a kind of modulation and can remark that to construct this modem is incommensurably easier than Serial Tone Modem. But the modem of this kind doesn't compare with RFSM characteristics. If we were not be able to realize Mil-STD correctly and use OFDM in RFSM, we would not be sorry to distribute source codes. c) Philosophy. Professional free software is possible because qualified developer has been grown up by certain company. The buyers have already paid for software and progressive developer as well. Then at the same time free software appears (like RFSM-2400) - like an ad, to create an image or ease consumers' tasks. The fact that software is free is a result of successful sales of developer. However free software is not possible in fact. The bigger the quantity of it the poorer it's quality. So said Write on C++ for food ;) There is also rather INTERESTING free
