I will be on 80m tonight using CMSK63 then switching to 31 after contact just to see for myself how well this mode does under noisy conditions I will be active on 3.587 tone frequency at 0100z but I have a few question does his software have Macro commands like other software?

[digitalradio] Re: Half Square Antenna
For a good number of years I did allot of experimenting with 1/2 wave inverted L's and T's on 160 meters with no ground system and had very good results. I published a web page about it at http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o9.htm One night on 160 meters with 100 watts on SSB I got a 10 over S9 report from a station in England from here in Florida. 73, Thomas F.

Re: [digitalradio] CMSK63
Yes, I think I got it all. As an experiment, I tried adjusting the sample rate. From its nominal of 8000, I could shift it from 7980 to 8020 and it made no difference to the decoding. Outside those limits it was no good. The mode coped with the QSB (S4 to S8), but doesn't like static crashes! 73 Robert - Original Message - From: Steinar Aanesland saa...@broadpark.no To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 9:50 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] CMSK63 Great !

RE: [digitalradio] CMSK63
Had you at S-9 and clean decode on every transmission. Not real sure how finicky the tuning is on this mode. I used the fine-tuning control to move the ellipse so that it was centered in the display, but it copied just fine even when it was off a bit. Could be a sound card issue I suppose, but at 8000 Hz my card is off by only .062% out and .017 in - that would make it somewhere around 8001 - hardly enough to adjust for. 73 Dave KB3MOW -Original Message- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:digitalra...@yahoogroups.com]on Behalf Of Russell Blair Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 5:17 PM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [digitalradio] CMSK63 Dave I was seeing some one but unable to decode them I was set on 63 and sample rate at 8000 I will keep trying Russell 1- Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door! 2- A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. - Gerald Ford IN GOD WE TRUST Russell Blair (NC5O) Skype-Russell.Blair Hell Field #300 DRCC #55 30m Dig-group #693 Digital Mode Club #03198 BARTG #8457 --- On Wed, 8/25/10, Dave 'Doc' Corio dco...@zitomedia.net wrote: From: Dave 'Doc' Corio dco...@zitomedia.net Subject: RE: [digitalradio] CMSK63 To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, August 25, 2010, 4:05 PM Copy you 599 Russell, but guess you aren't hearing me 73 Dave KB3MOW -Original Message- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:digitalra...@yahoogroups.com]on Behalf Of Russell Blair Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 4:44 PM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [digitalradio] CMSK63 Well I cant help you on 3.587 in Texas 80m is dead but I'm on 14.079 calling CQ CSMK63 tone 1000 for the next hour.

[digitalradio] HOW TO- Packet Keyboard-to-Keyboard operation?
Yes, I'm a packet newb. I just got my VHF packet system running (817/Signalink USB/Laptop/AGW/PacTerm) and can connect to a couple of local BBS. But I would like to understand how to actually do a keyboard to keyboard QSO using packet. I assume this does NOT go through a BBS. I've ready about 'keyboard to' but cannot find actual instructions about how to actually go about it. I have a willing friend ham on the other end that will work with me. Eventually I'd like to incorporate PacLink and Thunderbird and make that same keyboard-to-keyboard QSO using the Thunderbird Email client interface. Thanks for any pointers, URLs, docs. Mike

Well it seems the software at least in the beta version has a few bugs. like the buffer is not being dumped like it should and then after hitting f10 you might decide to erase what you want to send it seems afterwards it will not send anything or at least it is not showing you it is being sent , I also notice you can not add any words while transmitting like you forgot to put in a word type of thing when typing it seems to just skip right over it. the S/N seems to be very wrong on measurement -55 DB hmmm I don't think so , Hopefully the bugs will be addressed and fixed.
