Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2004 07:36:15 -0500 From: Skip Teller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Announcing the release of DigiPan 2.0
ANNOUNCING A NEW MAJOR RELEASE OF DIGIPAN!
DigiPan 2.0 is now available for download at http://www.digipan.net .
This new release, over a year in the making, once again changes the way PSK31 and PSK63 are operated!
DigiPan 1.0 introduced mouse tuning in which the operator just clicks on a signal on the waterfall to find out the callsign of a station instead of tuning the transceiver. DigiPan 2.0 now simultaneously decodes all signals in the IF passband, so the callsign and current print of every station are already known. Clicking anywhere on the text being transmitted by a station will copy that station's callsign and text to an active receive area where double-clicking on a callsign will capture it for communication as usual.
If a station is sending CQ, the background of that station's text is highlighted to alert you to the CQ call, or to any other two text strings you wish to watch for.
The DigiPan Download Page now contains a simple Pactor Interference Complaint reporting form. If you experience your ongoing QSO being interrupted by a Pactor station, just fill in as many of the blanks on the form as you can, press the "Send" button, and a complaint will be emailed directly to the FCC. Please take the trouble to do this for every such Pactor interference instance, because the FCC wants to know the extent of the Pactor interference problem so they can do something about it, and if we do not let them know, they have no way of knowing if a serious problem even exists. Please file a complaint regardless of what mode you are using at the time by just going to http://www.digipan.net and submitting the Pactor Interference Complaint form. If it is not convenient to file a complaint immediately, just make a note of the interference details and file it later. Ask your QSO partner to file a complaint also.
DigiPan 2.0 uses all the F1-F12 function keys by default, so it is important to quit any currently running DigiPan version, locate and delete digipan.ini in the Windows directory before installing version 2.0, and then install the new version. If you want to preserve your current macros for copying over to DigiPan 2.0, first make a backup copy of digipan.ini, perhaps calling it digipan.old, for reference, before deleting it. All F1-F12 macros can still be revised from the defaults if so desired.
Even if you do not operate PSK31 or PSK63, I urge you to just try DigiPan 2.0 on receive just to experience simultaneous decoding, because, together with the 100 wpm speed of PSK63, it would provide a tremendous competitive advantage if incorporated into your favorite logging or contesting program.
