[digitalradio] Unattended narrow mode transmission protection

2010-04-08 Thread Andy obrien
Let me drill down on this some more to find out the prevailing view... Would those that object to Bonnie's idea, also object if the wide modes were not part of the issue?. How about these objections if there was a digital mode under 500 Hz that transmitted unattended under automatic control? It

Andy, I petitioned the FCC for just that (inside the automatic subbands), but it was rejected for the status quo. So-called semiautomatic operations is permitted anywhere RTTY/data is permitted as long as the bandwidth does not exceed 500 Hz. For fully automatic operations, the automatic

Hi Jerry: there is activity on 7.173 all day long starting about 8am cst and going to 5 or 6 pm at night..(depends on when the European station start  coming in--- they pretty much don't care who they step on-- of course some just don't hear so well,, (kind of like contesters))  Band is in bad

If there were no means for such stations to avoid transmitting atop detectable on-going QSOs, I might consider supporting such a proposal. Busy frequency detection, however, is demonstrably feasible and practical. Rewarding the long-term rude behavior of ops running unattended semi-automatic and

Rick KN6KB developed an effective busy frequency detector that he included with his implementation of the SCAMP protocol several years ago. A high-level description of SCAMP is available via http://www.eham.net/articles/9785 RIck was initially reluctant to develop a busy-frequency detector

Myth? Now there's a challenge - I must read all this SDR documentation to see just what is defined as a busy frequency. At the moment I'm wading through 4,500 pages of DSP API's, there's something in there. Simon Brown, HB9DRV http://sdr-radio.com From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com

Thanks, I'll leave Rick alone at the moment as I know he's busy. Even if we were able to write a DLL which indicates that a frequency is in use others may just decide that their traffic is more important and ignore it. Simon Brown, HB9DRV http://sdr-radio.com From:

I'll accept Dave and Skip's comments as valid points. BTW, the busy detect does work quite well in Winmor. Simon, I did not have a particular digital mode in mind, I was just exploring the receptivity to the overall concept of unattended operations, if wide was eliminated from the discussion.

Andy, The issue for me has less to do with bandwidth than operating methodology. The same problems exist independent of bandwidth; although wider bandwidth modes certainly exasperate the situation. I agree that Winlink servers scanning multiple frequencies is a poor use of limited frequency
