[digitalradio] New SDR related Yahoo gtroup

2010-04-15 Thread Andy obrien
I started the digitalradio Yahoo group ten years ago (next month)
because ,at that time , there were many groups dedicated to particular
modes of applications but no generic groups where anything related to
digit modes was ok to discuss.  For the same reason, I have started
SDRlist.  A Yahoo group for discussion of any software defined radio.
Currently there are lists for Flex radios, SDR-IQ, SDR-14, Sofrock,
Winrad, CW skimmer, and many more.  There is also a forum for
SDR-Radio.  These lists can be quite good, but it can be a a little
awkward if you want to poast a question about a  rival product or
application.  So, if you have any interest in software defined radios
for amateur radio or SWLing, please consider joining via
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SDRlist/  .  Please help build this new
group in to a thriving on-line community where useful exchanges of
information and opinion will make the group a leader in SDR.

[digitalradio] Digital Mode tests this evening - FLDIGI

2010-04-15 Thread Tony
All,

I'll be QRV for digital mode testing this evening after 2200z (April 15) 
till 0500z (April 16).

QRG 14108 / 3588 (+ / - QRM).

Modes of interest:

1. MFSK32 (Fldigi)
2. PSK250R (Fldigi)
3. MT63 1K (Fldigi)

I've created a test transmission that will send each mode in sequence 
starting with MFSK32 and ending with MT63 1K (long iterleave). RS-ID 
will be used to facilitate automated band switching. Fldigi needs to be 
configured to do this:

Click CONFIGURE  IDs and UNCHECK RECEPTION DISABLES DETECTOR. This will 
enable automatic band switching upon the reception of RS-ID. The RX-ID 
located in the upper right corner of Fldigi's main window must be 
checked (green light).

See you on Andy's sked page http://www.obriensweb.com/sked/

Thanks,

Tony -K2MO

2010-04-15 Thread KH6TY
FWIW, PSK125R does not survive the Doppler disturbances on UHF. Olivia 
or Contestia does. Therefore, the mode we have found works best under 
the severe conditions of multipath, Doppler shift, Doppler spread, and 
very weak signals is Contestia 16-500 at 30 wpm. the minimum S/N is -12 
dB, which is essential for weak signal UHF and VHF digital operation as 
every dB of S/N we can get is important for weak signal work.

How can we celebrate ? Someone could arrange a Special Event Station, we could 
all sit in front of our computers decorated with coloured birthday balloons, 
wearing paper party hats, and blowing those paper tubes which go Wooo, and 
send strips of paper all over the place and then send Happy Boithday messages 
to each other. Ya..hooo !

I think you are confused Bill.  Bonnie was not involved in getting it
going.  She did contribute two graphics 4-5 years after we got going.

Actually, it was Andrew Nicholson who gave the initial help since he merged
his rival group with mine after a few months.

I think this is what you were referring to, Bill

Jan 21, 2007 
Hey folks, please check http://groups.yahoo.com/group/digitalradio/

This is our web based homepage for the digitalradio group. Since I
added calling frequencies and suggested software to the group
description, it became rather busy to read. So, we have revised the
appearance rather dramatically. Check it out.

It was very nice to have a member help me out with the code and logo's,
that's what I like to see ...good initiative from the membership.

There may be a few more finishing touches. Please note the frame at
the bottom of the description. This section will contain occasional
news items related to this group.
