[digitalradio] Clarification : Establishing digital calling/beacon frequencies

2006-12-20 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien
Just to clarify my original point...

I'm looking to establish a suggested calling frequency for ALL digital modes 
except CW, PSK31, RTTY, SSTV , PACTOR , and ALE(data ALE).  

My suggestion is that members of this list utilize a common frequency to call 
CQ and/or use attended beacon features within their digital software.  This 
would be for Olivia, Dominio EX, Throb, PSK63/125 , , MT63 ,Hell CHIP, 
MFSK16/8, PAX/PAX2 , THROB, experimental AX25. 

The idea is simply to make it easier to find stations to work rather than 
trawling the bands in 300-500 Hz ranges looking for  potential signals.

My experience suggest that even on good propagation days, say on 20M, the 
amount of simultaneous QSOs in the aforementioned modes rarely exceeds 3-5 .  
When it is at the 5 level,  it is often 2-3 Olivia stations, maybe 1 MFSK16 and 
one Hell.  I will argue that MOST of the time it is less than three 
simultaneous QSOs . Sometimes NO signals at all.

Thus, the amount of interest in the "exotic digital modes " is at such a level 
that we would benefit from clustering, and our use of a calling/beacon 
frequency would not likely clutter up the portion of the band.

If we established 4 beacon frequencies  (80,40,30, and 20M) you could easily 
monitor  the bands via scan features in  the radio .  

Again, the idea would be just to "meet" on the calling frequency and move 
further up/down the band for extended conversation.  I am NOT suggesting a 
different calling frequency for each mode. 

20 M seems like the easies band to establish a data frequency that allows 
worldwide participation.  The others are more complex due to varying regional 
bandplans.  I  will read the feedback I have received so far and suggest some 
frequencies to try this weekend.

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Effective Date ? FCC Drops Morse Code

2006-12-15 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien
Attention All Amateurs... End of an Era: FCC to Drop Morse Testing for All 
Amateur License Classes (Dec 15, 2006) -- In an historic move, the FCC has 
acted to drop the Morse code requirement for all Amateur Radio license classes. 
The Commission today adopted a Report and Order (R&O) in WT Docket 05-235. In a 
break from typical practice, the FCC only issued a public notice at or about 
the close of business and not the actual Report & Order, so some details -- 
including the effective date of the R&O -- remain uncertain. Also today, the 
FCC also adopted an Order on Reconsideration, in WT Docket 04-140 -- the 
"omnibus" proceeding -- agreeing to modify the Amateur Radio rules in response 
to an ARRL request to accommodate automatically controlled narrowband digital 
stations on 80 meters in the wake of rule changes that became effective today 
at 12:01 AM Eastern Time. The Commission said it will carve out the 3585 to 
3600 kHz frequency segment for such operations. Prior to the long-awaited 
action on the Morse code issue, Amateur Radio applicants for General and higher 
class licenses had to pass a 5 WPM Morse code test to operate on HF. The 
Commission said today's R&O eliminates that requirement for General and Amateur 
Extra applicants.

  whether we want General or Extra license, in order to operate on HF
  Voice. Even those that are Tech + would have to take element 3 to
  operate voice on HF except for the small segment already available to
  Tech + on 10 M and the small CW only segments on 15 M, 40 M & 80 M. I
  read that they are going to combine Tech and Tech + now, and while I
  may be wrong,I guess that means that a Tech could operate on HF CW
  where the Tech + were allowed. Of corse, that is a moot point, as

  Subject: [digitalradio] Best sound card for digital


  Hi - I just joined yesterday, and this is my first post.  I am 70 years old, 
and although I have a fairly good knowledge of electronics due to having worked 
as a electronics tech and field engineer for many years, I am somewhat computer 
illiterate, since it was BC (before computers LOL) when I was working in the 
field.  I recently bought a nice Yaesu FT-920 and am currently building a Fox 
Delta FD-SC1  interface kit to connect to my "el cheapo" HP Wal-Mart special 
computer, which has only on board sound.  It is a 1.2 Ghz running Windows XP 
Home Edition SP2.  I want to get a better sound card, but don't really know 
what are the important things to look for.  I have read on another forum (HRD, 
which I use for rig control) that an external SC is better because it gets the 
SC out and away from possible hum and noise pickup from the computer itself.  
This seems to make sense to me.  


  My main question is "how important is 8 bit DAC vs 16 bit or 24 bit"?  How 
much does this affect decoding of digital modes?  And how important is the 
speed it runs at, 48 Khz vs 96 Khz?  I have been looking at several sound 
cards, both internal and external USB ones.  One of the less expensive external 
ones I see on Ebay is the Creative Sound Blaster USB MP3+.  It uses USB 1.1 and 
is 16 bit @ 48 Khz with a front/rear/center sub channel S/N ratio of 102 db and 
headphone/side S/n of 96 db.  (I don't know which S/N ratio is applicable to 
digital decoding??)  The next step up from this would be the Sound Blaster Live 
External USB which is a 24 bit and 100 db S/N, but since it is also using USB 
1.1 this is not actually what it does due to the limitations of USB 1.1.  This 
one sells for a bit more than the MP3+. 


  Then you get into the Audigy SC's, , the 2 NX external @ 24 bit/96 Khz and 
102 db S/N (USB 2.0) looks nice but is quite a bit higher priced.  And if I 
went with an internal card, an Audigy SE @ 24 bit/96 Khz 100db S/N is really 
inexpensive used.


  There are a couple of non Sound Blaster cards that I am also wondering about. 
 One is an external Phillips PSC 805 Aurillium USB 2.0 24 bit DAC but I have 
read somewhere that it actually operates @ 16 bits/48Khz.  S/N of 104 db which 
is good, but these are a little higher priced than others.  And I remember 
reading somewhere that Turtle Beach SC's are good for digital modes, think it 
was the Santa Cruz model.  These are a little higher priced than some of the 
Creative cards, and while I am willing to save up for a SC that really does a 
good job, I am not a rich person, so price is somewhat important.  


  I imagine a lot of the features that drive up the cost of high end Sound 
Cards are those aimed at Hi Fi enthusiasts, such as surround sound, Dolby, etc. 
 I am not interested in this aspect, just Digital Mode decoding ability.  So 
I'd appreciate any input as to which SC I should be looking for.  Also, is 
anyone else using a FT-920 and using HRD (Ham Radio Deluxe) for rig control?  I 
am going to customize the interface I am building to meet my specific needs, 
and was originally thinking that I could use the PTT from HRD via the serial 
cable, but someone suggested that when running other Digital software and HRD 
concurrently, I would not be able to do this, since the serial cable would be 
tied up with HRD PTT.  The Interface has a Opto Isolator on it, so I can use 
this for PTT if necessary.

2006-12-15 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien
Thanks for reminded us Rick.  With all that has been written, I have forgotten 
what is new.  Would the following rough summary be close?

Some parts of  the 40 and 80M phone privileges have been extended in to the  
former CW or digital portions.?

CW operators have lost nothing, just have to share more ?

Digital modes, other than automated stations , remain mostly unaffected except 
for the ability to send some images within MFSK16 ?

SSTV folks have to remain in the "phone" portion of the bands since those 
signals contain "images" and  are wider than 500 Hz

CW net folks maybe miffed and feel the need to move but they don;t have to if 
they don't mind having SSB signals as neighbours ?

  David,

  Most of the new rules are understandable, just a few that were confusing 
  or not completely clear or, at least in one case, in conflict with other 
  rules.

  The ARRL announced today that their late filed Petition for 
  Reconsideration has not been acted upon by the FCC, therefore the new 
  regulation is now in effect.

  The 500 Hz semi-automatic automatic stations will continue to operate 
  just as they have for many years although the ones that formerly 
  operated abover 3600 KHz will have to migrate down below the 3600 
  ceiling here in the U.S. for digital data/RTTY.

  There will be no fully automatic 80 meter stations within the U.S. at 
  this time, since there is no automatic area available under the new 
  rules. This also means that there will be no semi-automatic stations 
  within the U.S. that operate wide band modes either since those stations 
  must operate within the automatic segment.

  That does not mean that there will be no Pactor 3 operation since it 
  would be legal to transmit P3 from a station with a control operator 
  present to an automatic station in other countries, and there may be 
  some who will have a BBS system with a control operator present or with 
  some kind of remote operation, that would allow them to continue to 
  operate in a similar manner to what they had been doing. But it will 
  likely mean a lot fewer P3 stations on the 80 meter band.

[digitalradio] Updated APRS Multipsk : Mini Review.

2006-12-10 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien
APRS via Soundcard - No TNC.
Multipsk Reviewed:
By: Andy K3UK

Updated December 10, 2006.

I am happy to report that APRS via Multipsk works very well, this is a
good option for those that do not have a hardware TNC. Some aspects
of APRS in Multipsk are still in beta test, with the latest beta
release being 4.1.2. The software is by Patrick F6CTE.

I have operated packet with various TNC's over the years and also have
used UI-View 32 fairly extensively. I gave up using UI-View with my
PK232 because I did not want to use serial ports, all my digital mode
activity is via a PC-to-radio USB interface (Microkeyer). I did use
AGWPE with UI-View successfully but always found that to be a bit of a
pain to set-up.

Patrick's inclusion of APRS/Packet in Multipsk makes it quite easy to
get active on HF, or VHF APRS. It is simply a case of inserting a
couple of parameters (longitude/latitude, etc) and clicking on "APRS"
as a mode. No having to install other software or drivers. Don't
forget to switch to 300 baud if you want to use it on HF. Really, two
minutes set up time is all that is needed . I

Patrick's software uses UI-View maps (or other APRS maps) . This is
extremely useful, just copy your existing maps over to the
multipsk/maps folder, enable the maps inside Multipsk and you can view
the maps within Multipsk and watch as stations populate the map.

The weather information is graphically displayed as it is received.
It is a little different than UI-View , In UI-View the weather data is
displayed by clicking on a callsign on your map and the info "pops-up"
on the map. In Multipsk, clicking on the map will display all the
data received from the station , not directly on the map but in the
weather station graphic next to the map. Patrick added this feature
after I released my first review, a very nice addition and excellent
response to user feedback!.

The graphic display will indicate your distance from the stations and
includes a window that displays the raw text as it is decoded. APRS
in Multipsk also allows you to display on the map , "all stations"
that you have received since booting up the program , or display
stations monitored during a particular hour. Again, a very useful
feature. I do not see any way to easily list just the stations your
are receiving direct, versus those relayed by digipeating stations. I
also do not see the ability to "filter" the stations by a specified
radius from your station , but since I use APRS exclusively on HF,
I'm interested in seeing all stations regardless of distance.

I have a little trouble with some of the available windows for APRS in
Multipsk. The " Packet APRS Frames decoding/coding " window contains
some beautiful graphics and maps, but the window remains "on top" .
Thus, I am unable to do anything on my computer unless I remember to
minimize it.

Within the " Packet APRS Frames decoding/coding " window, there is a
button labeled "transmission". Clicking on this brings up another
window full of useful packet parameter setting. I find myself
confused when I have this open. The "options" "resp/beacon" "mail"
buttons on the Multipsk main screen do not respond if these windows
are left open. I have to toggle back and forth trying to find what
mistakes I have made, what I have left open. The " Packet APRS Frames
decoding/coding " window also has an "exit" button that I have clicked
on several times thinking that it will take me make to the main
Multipsk window, it does but closes the beacon operations. I think I
am supposed to minimize , rather than "exit". Maybe it is just me,
but I find it confusing.

APRS in Multipsk allows you to configure most packet/APRS parameters
such as "wide", "echo", "trace", "relay" plus set Frack, TXdelay,
Paclen, and the usual things you would expect if you were using a TNC.
Patrick has added many options that will allow you to work APRS and
keep your station consistent with your region's expectations. As
previously mentioned, I use APRS on HF and the settings are not as
critical. Still, I have some learning to do about what is optimal.
APRS in Multipsk allows you to "repeat" frames received from others
stations and there is an option that will beacon your "repeat"
capabilities every minute. I'm a little nervous about doing this on
10151 in North America, I'm not sure if this extra traffic will cause
any problems or not. However, I did test the "echo/repeat" feature ,
and it works well. I like the audio "beep" that you can set to sound
whenever you receive a valid APRS packet frame.



The "repeat" feature, and Multipsk's amazing inclusion of Reed
Solomon signal identification (encode and decode) , has some
intriguing other possibilities. I have experimented beyond the
traditional APRS utility and have spent a few hours using APRS/Packet
on non-traditional frequencies. Recently I used APRS Multipsk in 80M
, I announced my frequency via several email groups. I thought it
would be useful to use the APRS features, including the maps, to aler

Re: [digitalradio] APRS/Packet experiment on 80M tonight

Just to make my self clear Chris, APRS is not usually on 80M in North America, 
I was just using that frequency to test things after the usual band closed down 
for the night.  HF APRS  in North America is mostly on 30M.

IF anyone in North America wants to test some of the Multipsk APRS
Packet features that were just released for testing, I will be around

[digitalradio] Study of PACTOR 20M Frequencies

2006-04-23 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien





I did a study of published PACTOR/WINKLINK 20 meter 
frequencies for known active stations. There are 76 separate  20 meter 
frequencies  (see below). If looking for a place to avoid the publish 
pactor frequencies... you might try
 
(Frequencies mentioned are "center" frequencies) 

 
The frequency spectrum 14062.9    to 
14069.9   best bet 14066.5 to 14067.5
  14070   
to  14079.9  Maybe 14074.4
  14094   
to  14098.7  Looks like 14096.7 is  best bet
  
14098   to  14098.7  
nothing
  14100   
to  14107 Maybe 14102.2 and 14105.5 are best 
bets
  14107.5    
to  14110 Perhaps 14108, 14108.5, 

 

Obviously, not all frequencies are active at the same 
time. 
 
The above "best bet" frequencies are NOT suggested 
frequencies for specific modes, just a reference for you to 
consider.

Doc, I was so happy with how Olivia handled the QRM that I pressed my print 
screen button to capture the visual evidence.  Alas, when I went to paste 
the captured imagine into my image editing software, the image had not been 
captured...I lost the evidence.  I am not very knowledgeable about Olivia's 
QRM handling ability but I know that it appears to be better than PSK, RTTY, 
the PC-ALE data standard , PAX2, Feld Hell, and Throb.  I have not directly 
observed how MFSK16 and DominoEX handle PACTOR QRM.

Your second question is a good one, I am not sure how PACTOR handles QRM 
that is very close in frequency.  Perhaps W0JAB or other here can offer some 
thoughts on this?  As someone mentioned earlier, I should make sure I am not 
in the general vicinity of unattended stations so that I can avoid the 
clash.The station I worked was on 14108 .6,   DJ2CV

Nope, nothing to do with me, it is all Olivia.  I am using a 15 year radio 
(TS440) and run Olivia with stock SSB filters.  Software was MixW today 
although I also use Multipsk for Olivia.

  That's cool. MT63 works like that a lot, too. I'm sorry

  a good freq. to start CQing, and how many tones are generally used? Looks to 
  me like anything over 8 is just too darn slow. What has been a sorta'

This is an old list and frequencies/times change but it will give you an 
idea.  Also, you might want to search for the free software MultiPSK  it a 
has a zilllion different modes and it will do the varying speeds and shifts 
of RTTY.  You can also use it to copy weather charts sent to ships. of 
Winwarbler. Other software to try is MMVARI, also free, it will do PSK31, 
MFSK, and RTTY but I think only ham RTTY.  Winwarbler will do PSK and RTTY, 
again a free program.  There is one more free one, MMTTY, it does RTTY ONLY 
but will do the wider RTTY shifts.  Let me know if you need help finding 
them and setting them up.

Your radio might do USB only, from what I have read.  Is that correct?  I

[digitalradio] Update: Digital QSO Alert System (or "visual cluster"

2006-04-02 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien





The use of a UI-View server as a dedicated DX alerting 
system seems to be evolving.
 
Check http://www.obriensweb.com/uiview.jpg  
for a picture of some activity today.  It would be nice to get more 
activity.  
 
It was first started as a way for stations looking for 
experimental digital mode QSOs (like Feld Hell, Olivia, DominioEX, etc) to alert 
people to the fact that they are "QRV".  The UI-View message system lets 
you send instant messages to individuals so that you can correspond and 
coordinate frequencies and signal reports.  UI-View, with sound enabled 
will send a ring tone when you have an incoming message. It will also announce 
the callsigns of stations that connect.
 
UI-View can be used to post DX "spots" that you 
hear.  Click on the map at the station' s QTH (I just approximate) , hit F5 
to open the Object Editor, place the callsign in the area for Identifier, and 
frequency/mode info goes in the comments section.  Your 'spot" will appear 
on the map in blue.  Takes about 20 seconds, perhaps not as easy as a 
regular cluster but it does work.
 
To connect you need the free UI-View software (www.ui-view.org) , it comes with some basic 
maps, but if you want some better ones, email me and I can send you 
some .  The UI-View website has links to many maps.  In addition 
to setting your call and location,  you also need to enter 
cluster.dynalias.org:1448 in the sever set-up area.  If you need help with 
that, email me., it is quite easy.  You do NOT need to have a GPS .  
You should have some close approximation of your longitude/latitude for entering 
in the set up area.
 
Remember, if you are a APRS UI-View user, please 
disconnect from APRS before you connect to our Digital QSO Alert System so that 
your APRS stations do not propagate to our stand-alone system.

[digitalradio] Digital Cluster activity increase

2006-04-01 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien





Good to see some increase in activity on the cluster set 
up for digital QSOs.  W6RK and I have corresponded about linking his web 
spotting interface to my cluster, that might be a good development.  

 
FYI below is an example of who has logged in and also how 
some have use the Talk feature to chat .  The "visual spotter" has not be 
used much but  W3NJ did pop up on my map (Texas)  this morning and we 
worked each other on Olivia.
 
The cluster is accessible via telnet://cluster.dynalias.org 

 
 
The visual spotter is accessed using UI-View and setting 
up the APRS server to connect to 66.24.209.252:1448I have a dynamically 
assigned IP number these days , so that could change.  I have not tried it 
but it is possible that cluster.dynalias.org:1448 would work too.  If that 
works, it will work better than the specfic IP nunbers, since they can 
change.
 
Here is some cluster activity (not the spots 
themselves).

[digitalradio] Another New Digital Mode!

2006-03-31 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien





Just received this and thought I would pass it along, 
looks like a new oneto play around with!  Software is available from my 
site (see below).Announcing a new digital mode that uses the sound 
card of your PC.  This oneis DUSK-A1. developed by Walter DU1SK.  
DUSK has some fundamentaldifferences from the other digital modes (PSK, MFSK 
Olivia, etc) in that this modehas been developed primarily for the low bands 
(80 and 160) with an emphasison grey-line propagated signals. DUSK-AI takes 
advantage of  AMI- AlternateMark Inversion .  Many digital hams 
will already be aware that AMI has a12.5% density minimum.  The reduced 
density minimum of DUSK-A1 creates amore tolerable AOA, or Angle of 
ArrivalA position identification technology that detects the direction of a 
signalreceived from a transmitter at only one point. In this system, 
thetransmitter's location is determined from the receivers' antenna 
positionand the AOA of the signals that are from the antennas. In practical 
terms,grey-line like conditions are  created regardless of the actual 
position ofthe sun.DUSK-A1 grey line performance, and sun position 
irrelevance ,  is alsoenhanced  by the inclusion of CTA. 
Continuous Time Oversampling  A techniquethat simplifies the job of 
synchronizing data generated from disparatesampling rates. The technique 
resamples and synchronizes audio data asneeded, and it eliminates the 
substrate noise and feedthrough problems.The beta version of DUSK-A1 
also includes Enhanced Data Rates for GlobalEvolution  an enhanced 
radio modulation technique for GSM and TDMA(ANSI-136) networks that expands 
radio timeslots . The expanded time slotsalso factor in enhanced daylight 
propagation , especially on 160 meters.When combined with GPRS, it gives a 
maximum performance with narrowbandwidth.The software does not have 
full macro features or logging components as yet.Those wishing to test this 
new mode may download the free software atDUSK-A1 from http://www.obriensweb.com/dusk.htm

Mel, it makes sense to me.  It seems that "wide" bandwidths are needed by

  Subject: [digitalradio] Digital Modes 
  Success On 160 Meters
  
  If you want to have consistent successful 
  digital mode contacts of any reasonable distance you have to run a full size 
  antenna, either a 1/2 wave dipole or 1/4 wave vertical. Night time D layer 
  absorption on 160 meters is very unforgiving when using an 80 meter G5RV into 
  a tuner or 80 meter doublet shorted together into a tee vertical. 
  You also have to run more 
  power than the customary 25-30 watts, with 75-100 watts pretty much a 
  requirement.
   
  With an 80 meter dipole and 25 watts you 
  can expect to make contacts out to approximately 100 miles. A full size dipole 
  and 75-100 watts will allow contacts of up to approximately 500 miles. A one 
  wavelength loop and 75-100 watts will allow for contacts of up to 1500 miles. 
  a 1/4 wave vertical with 64 1/4 wave radials and 75-100 watts will get 
  you into the 2000-4000 miles range.
   
  It's just the nature of the 
  beast.

[digitalradio] The Digitalradio Annual Awards: Best of 2005.

2005-12-07 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien







  Best "new" digital mode  Olivia,  by 
  Pawel Jalocha
 

  Best supported digital related 
   software DXLab (suite)
 

  Biggest disappointment of the year SCAMP.  Where did 
  it go?
 

  The "he must need something to do with his life " award 
  :   Nick UT2UZ (MixW) .  So many modes, always adding new 
  tricks, how does he have time to do other things?
 

  Best digital modes interface = Microkeyer by 
  Microham
 

  Most promise for 2006 =  Softrock 40
 

  Most under used =  ALE.  So much potential here 
  guys, jump on the bandwagon!
 

  Best Contests = TARA, they keep the small fish contests 
  going very well.
 

  Experimenters Award:  Bubba Net.  These folks 
  will try anything once.  I wonder if they made a 2 tone Olivia contact 
  yet?
 

  Why Bother Award =   A tie between HF packet (get 
  rid of it already! ) and the 80M RTTY NTS Net (..er dudes, twenty repeats of 
  the messages should tell you that RTTY is not robust enough for traffic 
  handling .
 

  Not Grumpy Award =  Nick UT2UZ of MixW.  
  Replies politely , and personally, to people like me that lose their 
  registration DLL!
 

  Needs inventing in 2006-2007:  HF APRS with 
  Olivia.
 

  Where is the Soviet Union When you need it:   
  MixW.  We need a centralized distribution plan for this 
  software!
 

  Software to watch in 2006:  MultiPSK.  
  Improving and I suspect more things will come from this product in 
  2006.
 

  Most Missed Digital Ham:  Larry W0ETC, SK.  A 
  great guy and digital contest Elmer.
 

  Only Good Thing About Katrina =  Knocked AA5AU of 
  the air for a few weeks and gave others a chance in RTTY tests.
 

  The "YEAH !" Award:  Sirius Satellite Radio for 
  adding BBC Radio One and CBC Radio One to their digital line-up

[digitalradio] CW ID of Olivia/Contestia tone setting

2005-12-06 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien





While we are all learning how to recognize the 
difference in RTTYM, Olivia, MFSK16, and Contestia and the many variations in 
tone settings, I have programmed my CQ macro to end with slow CW that will help 
someone learn what settings to use.
 
I end my CQ with, for example,   C 16 , or 
 R  32 ,  or O 8  .  C for Contestia, R for RTTYM and O 
for Olivia.  I decided NOT to add the frequency since most can recognize 
the width in the waterfall.

I don't think Contestia will replace RTTY. To 
get the rate up you have to go to a higher bandwidth. 8 tone at 250 Hz is 
about as close as you can get to RTTY speed without going to a higher 
bandwidth and that will not be good for contesting. Just my thoughts.

   Pawel's description of Contestia says   
  " I hope this mode can be a replacement for RTTY in contests" 
  .OK, so let's test it under contest conditions.  How about a 
  mini -sprint or Contestia Two-Legged Rush.  I propose that we try 
  a 30 minutes sprint using Contestia on  UTC December 6,  at 
  0100 UTC and again at 1300 UTC on December 7th.  Any bands, 
  except WARC bands.  Just a total time of 1 hour,  in two 
  30 minute segments,  that will provide differing propagation 
  conditions.  Since we want to simulate contest conditions, does 
  anyone want to propose a simple scoring system?

  My suggestion is to 
  make sure the cables are plugged into the right connectors on the soundcard. 
  It always confuses me. Use a pair of headphons to make sure you are really 
  getting audio out right from the soundcard.

  Rigblaster Pro
   
  I'm trying to help a friend get his Icom 746 Pro , 
  MixW, and Rigblaster Pro to work together.  So far we have 
  got the 746 Pro to be read by Mix and for the rig to be 
  keyed when MixW is put in PSK transmit mode.  
  The PTT LED light on the Rigblaster comes on, but 
  their is no RF apparent.  A support page at 
  Rigblaster says..."You should also see the RIGblaster 
  "level" LED light indicating that you have audio 
  coming from the computer at an adequate level to 
  feed your radio via the 
  RIGblaster."The level LED does not light .  
  Rigblaster says "If the RIGblaster level light does not 
  light un-mute and turn up your sound card wave and master level 
  controls"We have done that and all levels are set correctly and 
  un-muted.  Still no level led is lit.  
  Does anyone have any suggestion?   I suspect 
  the on-board soundcard is not generating enough audio to drive 
  the rigblaster/746  but my friend said he had it 
  working once before, so I wonder why it would not work now.

Re: [digitalradio] Bandwidth-Based FCC Rules for USA

2005-11-25 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien
Seems logical to me.  I think I saw comments here a few weeks ago that 
suggested the plan was not a good idea.  Why would this not be good ?  I 
think I also read that the FCC did not want to act on the plan, is the idea 
still alive ?  One thing that comes to mind is how if would be if American 
hams could wander all over the place for digital modes but non-American were 
confined.

Subject: [digitalradio] Bandwidth-Based FCC Rules for USA


> Recently the ARRL filed a Petition for Rulemaking with the FCC.
> http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2005/11/15/1/
> The Petition seeks to change from our present Mode-Based and
> Content-Restrictive rules, to new Bandwidth-Based and
> Content-Neutral rules.
>
> This is especially pertinent to USA hams interested in digital
> communications and new methods of operating on HF.
> Overall, it expands our freedom on the HF bands, and enables
> technological progress in communications. One of the most dramatic
> effects of these proposed new rules would be: more freedom for us
> to combine texting, data, image, and voice on the same HF channel.
> I am recommending support for new bandwidth-based rules.
>
> As some of you already know, I have been a vocal advocate for
> Bandwidth-Based Spectrum Management for the USA Amateur Radio
> Service, as well as a promoter of HF communications.
> Therefore, here are some of my comments about the petition at

> is being hotly discussed in many ham radio forums, including
> QRZ.com  http://www.qrz.com
>
> Change Needed Now
> Bandwidth-based spectrum management is needed now, and for the future
> of the Amateur Radio Service. No one loses any spectrum at all in this
> change. Everyone gains more flexibility to operate.
>
> More Freedom for HF Operators
> This is a good thing for ham radio in America. It brings us closer to

>
> New Petition Is Updated
> The plan has gone through many changes in several years of
> development. It includes some excellent new points that are very
> positive for ham radio. I highly recommend, to everyone who is

> Good Bye Mode-Based Content Constraints
> Most USA operators have never known anything else than being under the

> working against our communications with other countries. As
> communication technology has progressed, the antiquated rules are now
> at the point that they are antithetical to the very essence of the

>
> Technology Jail Breakout
> To those who are content to live in a technology jail; to those who
> resist any kind of change, even when change means more freedom... I've

> The hams of USA want freedom on HF like the rest of the world already has!

[digitalradio] New PC w/monitor for $149 !

2005-11-24 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien






Just in case you need a new PC for the shack and 
the digital modes, I see that BestBuy (in the USA)  has a 7 hour special 
tomorrow where you can get a PC with 17 inch monitor for $149!
 
I have no idea how good it is,  but at that 
price...

Re: [digitalradio] Re: 39 Tone DQPSK - ARQ Modem in PCALE with FTP - (Soundcard)

2005-11-23 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien
The only way I could even dream of justifying  a 16Khz wide signal for 
emergency communication, would be its ability to be copied at incredibly 
weak levels, perhaps better than a factor of 10 for PSK31 or Olivia.  Invent 
that, then maybe I just might be pursued.

I have already expressed my skepticism of Walt's argument that a 16
Khz-wide signal constructed as he suggests would be legal, but lets
put that to the side for a moment. A critical test of any techique
or technology introduced onto the ham bands ought to be "will it be
okay if lots of hams adopt this technology?". The answer for 16 KHz-
wide signals is clearly "NO!!!". Such a technique would dramatically
reduce the QSO capacity of our bands; its introduction, legal or
otherwise, would be entirely irresponsible.

If the rationale is "we need this for emergency services", then I
suggest that application be made to the FCC for a few small HF
segments dedicated to this purpose, enlisting support from DHS; if
the technology and need are sufficiently compelling, surely they
would not refuse.

[digitalradio] Digital Experimenters Net starts tonight 0000 UTC

2005-11-23 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien







I had planned to start the Digital Experimenters Net in December , after the 
US holiday , Thanksgiving, was over. However , since we have 2 feet of snow 
forecast , I 'll be homebound and thought I would kick start it tonight , at 
short notice.
So, here is the plan.
I will give a call up of the net in Olivia at  UTC (November 24) on 
14107.5.  I will also give a call up of the net at 0005  on 
10138.    After check-ins , and hopefully some dialogue, I 
will call the net again , on both frequencies, at around 0015-0020 in 
PSK63.  Depending on activity, we may also try a few other modes.
Please consider checking in, I may also ask others to do a net call-up and/or 
act as relay stations.
 
Call-up for Olivia on 20 Meters, will be 1000/32.  I think 
the suggestion for 30 meters is 500/16.
 
Give it a try, if you are awake. Spread the word!

2005-11-23 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien





Dear Santa,
 
It is me again, hopefully it is not too late to add to the 
list I sent you yesterday.  Is it possible for you to arrange the end of 
300 baud automated packet radio?  If so, please end it since it does not 
seem needed these days, very inefficient and better modes exist.   You 
may use APRS in your sleigh, that's OK if we keep it on 30 
metres.

[digitalradio] Digital Santa, Please bring me....

2005-11-22 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien





Dear Santa,
 
For Christmas I would like any of the 
following
 

  MixW with all 36 macros visible on one 
screen
 

  A Logger32 -MixW-HRD  three span 
Bridge!
 

  DX Atlas to accept imports of contest logs
 

  10 Meters to be wide open , even if it is just for one 
  day, Christmas or Boxing Day maybe
 

   Contest software with wav file  serial numbers 
  that takes less 1-2 seconds to speak out three or four digit numbers , and on 
  a basic computer!
 

  The answer to where the coffee maker within 
  Logger32 is hidden.
 

  A totally software driven SDR interface that links 
  to the circuitry of existing hardware HF radios,  with all 
  bands, and full DSP features via soundcard ...freeware.too!
 

  A DXpedition to North Korea that uses ONLY PSK, MFSK, 
  Olivia, Throb, and RTTY.
 

   WWW.QSL.NET 
  to actually have a bandwidth that permits downloads that don't take a 
  lifetime!

[digitalradio] Olivia user warned off 14105.5 !

2005-11-21 Thread Andrew J. O'Brien





I copied this off the air tonight
 
 
"I received an e-mail today from someone telling me 
to stay off of 14.105.5 while using Olivia mode.  He claimed that 14.105.5 
was for their group using packet messaging for emergency traffic and always on 
standby, and that anyone using Olivia on 14.105.5 was to  
off.    oh well,  Olivia is moving down the band [EMAIL PROTECTED] may be no stopping it.   Sort of 
like when PSK first came on 14.070 and all the pactor mailbox stations had 
problems.    But, I was told in this e-mail to keep off of 
14.105.5, it was their fre!!!  har. "
