A show stopper for now ... Looks like a nice package and works well

I did hear the following ALE stations on 14109.5 yesterday during the Am-Tech
Day.
C02JA
EA2AFR
KU2A
K5SKH
I did get a brief ALE connection from Bonnie and EA2AFR. The band was in pretty
poor shape and signals were barely moving the S-meter. I was only running 15
watts and with RRTY contest
My experience indicates that Olivia 16-500 and MFSK are very solid modes for
the conditions that we presently are experiencing during the current phase of
the sunspot cycle.
I, like Bill, am amazed at Olivia's ability to copy signals that you can barely
see on the waterfal and not even hear
Used PCs are dirt cheap these days. For example, a high end Dell GX1 (P3) sells
for less than $100.00. Disk space is usually not an issue. 256Mb of RAM will

RS-232 ports. A lot of the older

refered me to was one I was looking at. The radio is very stable after about
45 min. I allready have the line in to the computer set up and using digipan.

This is the opto-isolated circuit I initially built for my HW-100 and it works
just fine with the ICOM radios.
The above circuit should work on your FT-101. The important thing is that the
rig should not drift. While a jump of 50
Extremely stable. Handles MT63 and MFSK with no issues.

Is anyone using an ICOM IC-735 on PSK31/63/125?

The initial NA digital (PSK) frequencies were (and I guess) still are:
3.571
7.071
14.071
21.071
28.071
The primary NA RTTY freqencies are:
3.581
7.081
14.081
21.081
28.081
Whether official or not the above frequencies seem to be the defacto standards
based on my experience.

Once could write a book on this topic. When you refer to noise, are you using a
CRT or solid state monitor? CRTs can generate a lot of noise and are typically
not well shielded. The easy solution for this problem is to ditch the CRT and
pick up a LCD monitor. As I mentioned in a previous post
My limited experience with PC-ALE has not been a positive one. The wide
frequency that the protocol uses can cause issues. Also, there is no way to
offset the centre frequency. I my case, I could not even get two computers
running back-to-back over audio cables to work reliably with PC-ALE. I
My view is that PSK31 is the most efficient from a spectrum usage and power
usage point of view. Other modes have better error correction facilities but
occupy more bandwidth. Olivia does a very good job copying signals that you can
barely hear or see on the waterfall. For most people, 20 to 25

Very interesting and here is a list of suggestions and questions:
1. What OS are you using and what browser?
2. How you tried FireFox or another Web browser?
3. Crack open the taskmanager and see what process (if any) is burning the CPU
when you are experiencing the problem. If there is
My experience in running digital (since 2002) is that RF can creep into the
computer and that can cause some nasty issues. I finally fixed my problem by
purchasing a properly shielded computer (a older Dell GX1). I use a home brew

I suggest that perhaps we should at least call CQ on the hour and
half hour to ensure that there is some chance of getting someone if
the band is open.
I worked KB9YGD this afternoon using Olivia 500-16 and the signal was
so weak, it dit not even show up on the waterfall. I am monitoring
