You will want to install it, what ever you add will otherwise be lost as soon as you reboot. In order to get the ham radio software you have to enable repositories to get that stuff from. Universe and multiverse should be enabled, medibuntu is extra. Look under administration and start software

I use Ubuntu 8.04 here with fldigi and qsstv and it is very well behaved. If you are new to Linux, you could do worse than Ubuntu. I would consider going with 9.04 though, instead of 9.10, at least until you figure out if all the possible Ham radio applications you might want to run WILL run

Hello Tony, What software are you using to determine the SNR decode level? What i do is adding noise so as to reach a S/N=-15 dB. Then I see if it works (decode or not). According to the result, I will try -14 or -16 dB etc... In Multipsk when it is possible I evaluate the S/N by measuring the

[digitalradio] WINMOR more

2009-11-01 Thread obrienaj
So, a few weeks ago WINMOR was just a concept to most of use. Now many have tested the simple soundcard alternative to $1000 modems and the verdict appears to be... it works ! It works as an email/file sharing digital mode but not perhaps as a strong competitor to Pactor III in terms of

[digitalradio] FLARQMOR

2009-11-01 Thread Andy obrien
I have configured my digital mode interface and PC to use two differing PTT ports and can run both FLARQ and WINMOR at the same time see http://www.obriensweb.com/winmorflarq.jpg Not literally transmit at the same time (that might blow up my radio) but I can dual receive and I am thus available

[digitalradio] Waking a FLARQ with RS ID

2009-11-01 Thread Andy obrien
Suppose you think a desired station is on a frequency with his/her FLARQ station active . You think that perhaps the station is set to PSK250 and you know that conditions are way too poor for a PSK250 exchange . If that station has RS ID on receive activated (and we all know we should always

Patrick, It certainly seems difficult to precisely measure digital mode SNR so thank you for explaining that. I think the PC sound card method is accurate enough to show the relative difference between modes and more importantly, the digital mode path simulations and SNR tests seem to
