Re: [digitalradio] Mobile CW
Hal/Tony, I wonder if the serious CW mobile operators might invent some CW sending capability from there steering wheels ? Since one's hands are on the sterring wheel most of the time some thumb sending might work. Andy That would be much more convenient Andy. The only problem is having to pause when making sharp turns; not an issue on the highway. Patrick remembed reading about a ham who used a specialized set of false teeth to send code! Can you imagine the looks he got with a wire hanging out of his mouth while his jaw was chattering away to 73 : ) Gotta give him credit though, that's one way to go hands-free!

AW: [digitalradio] Re: NUE PSK31 Modem
Circuit diagramm and software can be found there . okay no pcb layout . but parts list and source code .. So you have to make own pcb or buy the kit ... or just buy the pcb and get your own parts somewhere else .. So you get everything needed there . just look on the order page and see what fits your needs Happy homebrewing Dg9bfc Sigi Ps: take the parts list and see how cheap the kit really is . sometimes you pay more if you search for the different parts on different sources cause everytime the shipping costs ad to the bill !!
Re: [digitalradio] Mobile CW
I don't think we should encourage texting or CW while driving! All attention needs to be your driving. Driving is dangerous enough even with full attention. Pull over to the side of the road and text or CW please. We don't need another silent key.

Re: [digitalradio] southern indiana sstv
Can you give us your Six digit grid square? That might help out some. Plus what mode - SSB or FM? Looking you up beased on your address in QRZ, your a 'little' too far for me on a 'normal' day. But I do see your active on 6m also by your edited qrz write up...:) There is also June VHF QSO Party coming up next month and we normally have good contatcts into that area on 6m, 2m, 1 1/4m, and 70cm from the W8PGW VHF contest station in EN82df. I normally have at least a few different digital mode programs installed on the laptop.

[digitalradio] Any point in sending Wrap files via ALE 400?
I sent a Wrap file via ALE400 today. Is that just a waste of time since ALE 400 already has error correction ? Is there are value to sending Wrap files via ALE 400? I guess they could then be forwarded to FLdigi users. Andy K3UK

Pull over to the side of the road and text or CW please. We don't need another silent key. Mark / Jordan I certainly appreciate your concerns and we wouldn't want to encouraging anyone to do something that was unsafe. In my experience, operating CW mobile is as safe as running SSB in the car or chatting on the local VHF repeater as many do. While any distraction like fiddling with the car radio is potentially dangerous, I think cell phone texting, where one takes both hands off the wheel and eyes off the road is in a category all by itself. Again, I didn't intend to encourage anyone, we were just discussing the fact that some ops can successfully operate CW mobile. Thanks for mentioning the safety issues and to others - please don't try this yourself. Tony -K2MO
Re: [digitalradio] Any point in sending Wrap files via ALE 400?
Andy, I sent a Wrap file via ALE400 today. Is that just a waste of time since ALE 400 already has error correction ? It would seem redundant if the intent was to make sure the file was received without error. Is there are value to sending Wrap files via ALE 400? Assuming that Wrap worked with Multipsk as it does with Fldigi, someone could use it to monitor an ALE-400 file transfer and tell if it came through without errors. All speculation on my part Andy. I guess they could then be forwaded to Fldigi users. Makes sense if the intent is to forward the files using a non-arq mode later on. I was under the impression that Wrap was exclusive to Fldigi, but the website says it can be used with any digital modem program. Guess that includes Multipsk? Very interesting Andy... Tony -K2MO
