Re: [digitalradio] QRV 14065-14115 : SDR RS-ID Skimmer

2010-05-12 Thread Tony

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

[digitalradio] Digital ID Skimmer mock-up

2010-05-12 Thread Andy obrien
See  http://www.obriensweb.com/digidskimmer.htm  for a crude mock-up
of how a digital mode skimmer could look ,  The concept would be ...
 digital mode applications that already use RS ID detect (Fldigi,
Multipsk, DM780, Pocketdigi) expand their current displays of received
RS IDs in to something that provides more interactive information that
is clickable so you can QSY to the particular frequency, sortable by
mode of frequency, and color coded for easier visual reference.  Call
ID (a very useful feature within Multipsk)  could also be part of this
and , when used,  the call sign of the station that ID's would be
displayed.  This concept would support wider range frequencies
provided by an SDR, just as CW Skimmer does.

Anyone have any improvements on this idea ?


[digitalradio] The RS ID Weekend

2010-05-12 Thread Andy obrien
This coming weekend May 15th and 16th , a few of us  will be testing
Reed Solomon IDs... their usefulness and robustness. So, if you are
going to be on the air this weekend, using a digital mode, please use
your RS ID features.  Use it perhaps a bit more than you might
normally do, so we can have some targets to detect.  Often people only
use it at the beginning of a CQ to help ID their mode .  I would like
to see it on all overs since it helps others detect you,  and you
may be missed if you are not the one calling CQ.  If you have the Call
ID feature, please also use that since this will also plot your actual
Call sign.

For those unfamiliar with Reed Solomon ID as implemented by Patrick
F6CTE, RS ID causes a very brief  tone that, when detected, will allow
others with RS-ID capable software to be informed of the mode you are
using.  Software like Multipsk, DM780, and FLdigi then take this
information and arrange it it tabular form so that you can review what
ID's you have received and on what frequency.

[digitalradio] flmsg 0.9.03 digital mode NTS ?

2010-05-12 Thread Andy obrien
With the test release of flmsg 0.9.03 for Fldigi, I am wonder if
anyone has used it somehow interfaced with a NTS net?  The design
works fine, just wonder about any actual use of it to carry traffic in
to , or out of the NTS system.  Has anyone set up a NTS digital net
formally connected to a district or regional NTS net ?  I will
probably test it on Friday evenings Western NY HF Digital Net

[digitalradio] Problems to compile pciscc under kernel 2.6.31. [1 Attachment]

Hello all and tks for my first post on digitalradio.

Entries can be sorted by clicking a column header (like a spreadsheet).

- Add a column to indicate mode.

- Provide filtering by mode (e.g. only show Olivia and Contestia entries)
