Hi John, Using RFSM 2400, I was able to connect with the non standard mode, but had to go to 50 watts, and initially showed a 5 dB S/N connection, but nothing would go through. There is a beep tone at the beginning of each transmission and I see a large spike on the spectrum display which I

[digitalradio] Narrow SSTV contact

2008-02-06 Thread Rick
Recently, I had my first narrow SSTV contact with WB8ROL. I saw the signal and guessed that was what it was and brought up MMSSTV. I had earlier tried sending some CQ's but finally determined that the mode I needed was the N mode. Need to stress that to those who are planning to use these

Question: what other modes are there in MMSSTV that will work in the narrow 500 Hz bandwidth? I think its limited to mp73-n, mp-110-n, mp140-n and the mc110-n, mc140-n, mc180-n modes. Unluckily i have never found a station qrv in those modes...

Hi Brad, What I am looking for would be a way to include a picture as part of the contact but not as the main object of the contact. More of a multi-media concept, but done with relatively narrow modes. If you remember back a into the 1990's, when Peter, TY1PS was very active with Clover II

Do any of the IARU regions allow voice on 14070? I ask, because around 1800EST, there was a S9+10 signal around this frequency. I wasn't in the same room as the rig, but was able to confirm (by turning the rig WAY UP and getting the XYL really mad!!) that it was voice, language not

It should be better, because of the Walsh code layer. I have used it for tests among other Olivia modes, but never compared RTTY and 2/250 Olivia. It worked fairly well, but it was just for curiosity sake, more than anything else. It was not a serious, well planned, exhaustive test. 73,
