CLOCK 1.5.3 (FRANCE-INTER, DCF77, HBG, RUGBY, WWVB, WWV, WWVH, GPS)
Hello to all Ham and SWL,

The new release of MULTIPSK (4.1) is in my Web site (http://f6cte.free.fr) and, 
also, the 1.5.3 of Clock (improvement of the GPS decoding). 
The main mirror site is Earl's, N8KBR: http://multipsk.eqth.org/index.html

Another mirror site isTerry's: http://www.hamsoft.co.uk/

Multispk associated to Clock are freeware programs but with functions submitted 
to a licence (by user key).

The main modifications of MULTIPSK 4.1 are the following:

1) addition of the Contestia and RTTYM modes. See specifications further on. 

Main frequencies:

For 1000 Hz bandwidth sub-modes, with an AF frequency of 1000 Hz, frequency 
displayed on the transceiver: 14103.5 Khz

For 500 and 250 Hz bandwidth: 7039.5, 14075.5 Khz

The Contestia and RTTYM modes are directly derived from the Olivia mode (Pawel 
Jalocha SP9VRC) but with a different compromise between speed and robustness.


* CONTESTIA is a bit less sensitive than Olivia (+1.5 dB on minimum S/N). It is 
a also a bit less robust (due to a smaller block size) but it is twice more 
rapid (with a reduce set of characters). 

This mode is an excellent chat mode (because sensitive and rapid).


* RTTYM is a less sensitive than Olivia (+3 dB on minimum S/N). It is also less 
robust (due to a small block size and due to the RTTY problem of random shift 
from letters to figures or reversely, on an error) but it is almost four times 
more rapid (with the RTTY set of characters).

This mode is interesting for very quick QSO.

2) addition of the SSTV mode "SC2 180". This mode gives very good SSTV pictures 
(the SSTV transmission lasts 3 minutes) 

3) addition of a digital dual trace spectrum analyzer (+ waterfall) 0-20 KHz


4) addition of an interface to a direct conversion receiver through the 
Multidem program, the Multidem signal being transmitted to Multipsk via a 
TCP/IP link.

MULTIDEM 1.0 is a USB/LSB/AM demodulator for direct conversion receivers 
available from my WEB site.

This program ("freeware") permits to:

- extract any USB, LSB or AM transmission present in the AF band of a direct 
conversion receiver, up to 20 Khz, 

- to band-pass filter the received signal, 

- afterwards, to forward it to amplified loudspeakers and to Multipsk (for 
decoding) through a TCP/IP link.

5) APRS: Multipsk becoming compatible with UI-VIEW (about GIF pictures and .INF 
format description files), all the maps and .INF files of the UI-VIEW MAPS 
folder can be copied to the Multipsk MAPS folder and be used,


6) improvement of the recording function.

The modifications 3 and 6 are about functions submitted to a licence.

Note 1: all the modifications are given in the bottom of the Configuration 
screen.

Nota 2: the software APRS-SCS version 1.29 (John KB2SCS) can connect to 
Multipsk through the TCP/IP link.

For information, for all the Multipsk exotic modes (PSKFEC31, PSK10, PSKAM, 
PSK63F, PSK220F (+DIGISSTV), CCW-FSK, MFSK8, THROBX, DominoF, DominoEX, PAX, 
CHIP, Voice...), I propose the QRP frequency: 14075 Khz USB (AF around 1000 
Hz), at 17h00 UTC.

      Same set of characters as for standard RTTY,

      except that the "letters" character is the CHR(0) instead the CHR(31) one

      The idling character is the CHR(31) character.
