Tom was using RUMped, not RUMlog at 9X0TL. And µH Router was never in the loop; RUMped talks directly to the digiKeyer II. The 9X0TL Quicktime link that I'd posted earlier today was an interesting software Rube Goldberg exercise by itself. The transmit RTTY tones (using the K3 FSK KY command, I believe) come from the K3's monitor. The RTTY receive tones that you hear come from cocoaModem's Aural Monitor. Tom uses a wideband waterfall to tune in his stations. For aural monitoring, clicked signals in cocoaModem are filtered and converted to a single fixed RTTY tone pair, no matter where he'd clicked. The video comes from the Quicktime screen capture function. The "roger beep" that you hear occurs when the cocoaModem "click buffer" transitions from the "tape loop" to real time data (I turn it off myself, but Tom prefers it on). Sometime within that Quicktime movie, Tom switched off the narrow filter in the cocoaModem aural monitor, and you can hear the entire cacophony of people calling him (thank goodness for sufficient dynamic range :-). He turned the narrow aural filter back on and regained sanity before the end of the movie. Tom has posted a picture of him in his Rwanda "shack" (K3, 600W amp, MacBook Pro, digiKeyer II) here: http://dl2rum.de/dl2rum/DL2RUM_Home.html 73 Chen, W7AY ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
