welcome. i am assuming then you might be a ham, please sign anything here with your name and callsign rather than with an "alias"
First off I don't know what you are using for software, but download the latest version of MULTIPSK which has all of the common modes and some that are not so common. When listening always use the USB setting on your receiver. Enable the "RS IS Detection , and that will give you a clue as to what the other station is using. Start with bpsk31 and listen at 14070, and connect the radio audio out to the input of your computer, setting the tuning line in the middle of the solid red/orange line on the waterfall, and it should start producing text. tune up a little and , if the band is active , you should start seeing and hearing RTTY. Click on the RTTY mode, put the two tuning lines on the 2 lines on your waterfall, and text should start printing. It is really easy and with a little practice, and experience, easy to tune John VE5MU ----- Original Message ----- From: wavecrawler2007 To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 11:00 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Hello group! Hello to everyone. I have just found your group and decided to join. I am not really new to SWL or ham, but am new to digital communications. I am interested in receiving (and decyphering) RTTY and other digital signals. However, I am sure that because of my lack of familiarity with the different modes, I am having trouble using the various freeware software out there. Whenever I try to receive any RTTY or other similar messages, the text always appears as jibberish. I'm sure that I am not setting up the controls of the software correctly, so I'd like to ask anyone in the group for some help. How can I listen to a particular type of digital signal and know whether its RTTY, ARQ, etc, etc. I'm tired of getting nothing but jibberish and would like to get in on some of the interesting stuff coming in on my receiver.
