Hello,

Thanks to all those who responded. I learned something new.

[digitalradio] Re: Name That Mode

[Bill McLaughlin]

Hello Ed,

Most likely JT65A as activity on 20 meters is generally centered
around 14.076. This mode is part of WSJT's suite of modes. It excels
at weak signal work using very brief message formats and 60 second
xmit/rx sequences. 

See http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/ for details.

I can't hear it here, but your description sounds a lot like JT65 ... 
a mode used a lot for EME.

[digitalradio] Name That Mode

[lmeeny]

Hello,

Around 17.075 MHz I've heard a mode I can't identify. It appears to
have an 8 tone coding scheme and is about 150 Hz wide. By ear there
are around two tones per second. The decoders provided by Ham Tadio
Deluxe are ineffective.

What am I hearing?

Thanks,

[digitalradio] Getting started with a FT-920

Jerry, most of the digital modes do not need a TNC/modem in the
traditional hardware  sense.  They use software and your computer's
soundcard.  A hardware TNC is still used to some degree for PACTOR,
RTTY, and Packet but even for those modes there are software options.
For your modern transceiver, all you will need is the ability to
connect and interface your radio to your computer.  Most people either
buy or build their own "interface" , they vary in price and bells and
whistles from the basic (but functional)
http://www.g4zlp.co.uk/unified/YaesuCAT.shtml  or
http://home.att.net/~n8st/yaesu.html  or the higher end
http://www.microham.com/index1.html  or
http://www.tigertronics.com/   or http://www.usinterface.com/  or
http://www.westmountainradio.com/RIGblaster.htm

For software, the usual options are Winwarbler (PSK31 and RTTY), DM780
(lots of modes) , FL-DIGI (lots of modes, Windows or Linux)  or
Multipsk (lots of modes) all available free over the Internet and
their authors frequent this list (plus have their own on-line support
groups)

Well, THAT'S ridiculous... who would blacklist YOU?  Oh, never mind, I
know the moderator of that list can be temperamental.

ANYhow... the message is second-hand, and there are no details provided,
as usual.  Just there was a major update scheduled for late last year,
then the Nick (the primary dev of MixW) got into a car accident, and
then earlier this year his equipment suffered a lightning strike.

In other words... SOME day, they'll be an update.  Don't know what'll be
in it, what bugs will be fixed, or when it'll come.

Re: [digitalradio] The new arrl digial ecomm class

[Rick W.]

Did they release more than the web site below? The course looks like it 
would give a good overview to hams who are newer to digital modes and 
are also interested in public service communications and want to see how 
these mode could be used. If anyone takes the course, I am sure that 
many of us would be interested in their opinion.

It is my view, that it may be even more important for newer hams to know 
about a general knowledge of public service communications such as the 
structure of various organizations, what equipment they may use, and how 
it can work. Most of public service (90% or more) is going to be 
tactical phone, and most of that on VHF. There is a move toward moving 
away from RF paths and toward internet connections in order to extend 
the range of what was formerly more local capabilities of VHF, examples 
being Winlink 2000, IRLP, Echolink, D-Star, etc.

I have taken all three of the ARRL ARECC courses when they were 
subsidized by a third party, and while I don't necessarily recommend 
that you spend the money to do this, if you have not been involved in 
amateur radio public service, you might consider Course I. The other 
courses tend to repeat and amplify the information in the first course, 
especially for those who are interested in becoming leaders in ARES.  
Then if you find this valuable, you can give consideration to how you 
would employ digital modes with public service communications. 
Realistically, it has been a very small part, but maybe that could change?

As much as I have been involved with amateur radio digital modes for 
several decades, I have not found much interest in the general ham 
community since the packet radio years when almost all active hams were 
involved with VHF digital. Now most of the HF digital is PSK31 but there 
are not that many who use many of the other technologies. And as we get 
more ways of doing more and more digital modes and systems, this tends 
to spread the users into thinner participation for any one mode or system.

It is a very different world than even 10 years ago, much less 20 or 30 
years ago.

[digitalradio] Mixw news

[Andrew O'Brien]

News from Nick UT2UZ  suggests he is still working on a "big" update
to MiXw and that it has been seriously delayed by a car accident.  See
the interesting thread at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mixw/


There does not appear to be any concrete information as to when an
update is expected,  does not appear to be soon.
