Andy, Will you be cutting the 2m/70cm portions for FM or the SSB portion? Those two might get tricky as 70cm is a harmonic of 2m. It of course can potentially be advantageous if using one antenna (or radiator) for both so long as you can live with the way it radiates. Radiation lobes for 2m

If only more software authours would provide their audio drive in stereo I/Q form it would make direct upconversion a real doddle. If the signals were generated at baseband, even poor I/Q balance would not be too serious, as the image then lies on top of the wanted signal. For narrow band

Thanks for the testing Tony. We observe Doppler shifts of as much as 100 Hz and Doppler spreads around 50 Hz or greater. On SSB phone, a S3 signal will not be intelligible and you can hear the voice pitch go down in a fluttering manner. ROS definitely produces nothing but garbage when SSB

Andy, You first have to decide if you will use horizontal or vertical polarization - vertical polarization mostly for working the repeaters on 2M and 70CM, or horizontal polarization for working SSB stations. Omnidirectionality is easy with vertical polarization but much more difficult with

What about a multiband verticl fort he uppoer bands .. Stacked with some gain like the x 510 or the x 6000 Omnidirectional . 2 or 3 bands . with some gain . can be used also for local repeater or emergency work . Just an idea For 6 and 10 better use a small beam But you can start with a

I think the key to making it really fly would be to hold some short sprint contests using PSK63 only. That way you could get a lot of guys to try it without a big commitment of time and effort. As it gains acceptance thru that and word of mouth, it could be added as an optional mode in more

Re: [digitalradio] Question on bandwidth on HF

JT8 is proposed as a possible alternative to JT4. Modulation is 8-FSK at 2.857 baud. FEC uses convolutional codes with K=14, r=1/4, K=15, r=1/6, or K=16, r=1/8, depending on message length. Synchronization uses 8×8 Costas arrays at the beginning and end of a transmission, followed by two
