Re: [digitalradio] Logging for MultiPSK and DM780

Maybe use DXKeeper from Dave AA6YQ? I know there are interfaces in DM780, sure-ish that they exist in MultiPSK. One idea I have thought about is for programs such as DXKeeper, DM780 etc. to run UDP servers which allow other programs to send new QSO's for logging. Simon Brown, HB9DRV -

I go between MultiPSK and DM780. What is the best/easiest way to create a combined/common log? Multipsk seemlessly logs to DX Keeper . DM780 easily exports to DX Keeper.

BTW - I have a fine NTPClient class in C++ in case anyone is interested, I use this when calibrating soundcards and also to keep my computer clock updated every 15 minutes. You would have to modify it yourself as it uses a few DM780 calls but the intelligence you need is in place. Simon

An advantage of UDP is that the logger could be on another platform / computer. Although there's network DDE I have never tried it and don't want to try it to be honest. Also I would say that UDP is easy in all languages, DDE is a tad complex in C++. Simon Brown, HB9DRV - Original

Thank you for that information, Dimitry, When I read over the MIL-STD/FED-STD/STANAG standards, I could not understand how these slower modes would work all that well by the multi-repeating approach. They repeat multiple times, even if you do not need the repeat (sort of a non automatic ARQ)

Hi Phil, My take is that there is more similarity than difference. Most of the multimode digital programs will support the most commonly used modes. All other modes are very rarely used and can quickly fall into disfavor. Consider the primarily used sound card modes, PSK31, MFSK16, and some
