Re: [digitalradio] What mean Too Wide?

This would be a general definition that perhaps not everyone could 
fully agree on:


   Too Wide:  takes up too much spectrum bandwidth for the amount of 
information delivered or the speed of the information's delivery.


Rick, academically you are right. But the question/poll is about 
keyboard modes mental limit.
For me the limit somewhere around rtty45 bw. Olivia 500 too wide, mfsk16 
somewhere on the limit.


The psk31 is de facto standard. I think good idea to measure/evaluate 
things with this standard.


MFSK modes are undervalued but not in every case. For good or moderate 
propagation  psk31 is the best (not academically). But for 
poor/disturbed propagation and in higher latitudes there are better modes.
We can use many mfsk modes with different bw and tones. From standard 
user viewpoint -  more is less. RSID, Video ID are good things. But we 
need de-facto mfsk-standard like psk31 to fire psk-folk in case of 
poor/disturbed propagation to switch mode. This is 
strategical/promotional BIG step.
IMO Contestia 250/4 (or /8?) is enough good bw/speed compromise to take 
de facto mfsk-standard role. There are better modes/formats from speed 
viewpoint DominoEX11, MFSK16 or from snr viewpoint 250/16:

So what mean too wide mode mentally?

Poor or disturbed propagation constrains all of us into fewer bands 
for digital operations. With fewer sunspots, we all crowd the same 
bands which makes the too wide problem worse.  Some modes are very 
narrow and are spectrum efficient but have little error correction.  
Others are too wide but have lots or error correction and are 
fast.   As you very well know, these are the tradeoffs we all face.


   This definition might cause a bit of a Food Fight here on this 
reflector but hopefully . . . not.

Re: [digitalradio] Contestia 250 - new concept for usage

2010-05-10 Thread Jaak Hohensee

Skip, I agree with you.
My considerations to prefer in HF Contestia 250/4 format is related to 
the idea to find some compromise for bpsk31 folk, Olivia light users, 
and rtty folk when the propagation is not enough good for bpsk31 and rtty.
So Cnt 250/4 with 39wpm is the first alternative for bpsk and rtty folk 
and the last alternative for Olivia hardusers ;)
The idea to use  250/4 format motivated also by fact that Cnt 250/4 
signals are seen in wtrfl until the copy lost (-9dB). 250/8 is washed 
out from wtrfl around -10dB. Both, psk31 and rtty users was wont to see 
signals on wtrfl. To see signals is motivated also from QRM reducing 
viewpoint.


The idea to make 2-step default switch from 250/4(-9dB) to 250/16 
(-15dB) and so get additional snr -6dB is compensate 250/8 format 
snr-advantage. Default shift need default procedure what/how to do when 
the copy is lost.


WPM considerations
29wpm (250/8) is good speed from cw-viewpoint, but too less from 
rtty/psk31 viewpoint. 39wpm (250/4) is somekind compromise between the 
different speed/snr expectations.

Hi Jaak,

Great idea to start a long test of Contestia 250/4!

Perhaps Contestia 250/8 can also be compared in actual practice to 
Contestia 250/4. Contestia 250/8 is slower (at 29 wpm), but decodes 2 
dB deeper into the noise, which may be important when there is QSB 
(fading) and the signal is already near the noise level ( such as when 
the band is going out). Although I can type over 50 wpm, my personal 
feeling is that 29 wpm is fast enough for a QSO, but Contestia at 78 
wpm (3 dB less sensitive) is more reasonable for passing traffic (if 
conditions can support 3 dB less sensitivity). If not, then to be able 
to pass the traffic at all, it has to be sent at a slower, more 
sensitive speed, such as Contestia 250/4.


It all depends upon the average individual preference for typing speed 
for QSO's vs conditions.This may become clear during your tests. I 
hope the testers will make their minimum typing speed preferences 
known, as well as how well the mode works.

* So Contestia 250/4 is good narrowband alternative for psk31 or
  rtty folk, specially when propagtion is not for psk/rtty or

* Contestia 250/4 is good mode for mid- or high-latitude folk.
  Many times there are disturbed propagation path not suited for

Let me drill down on this some more to find out the prevailing 
view...  Would those that object to Bonnie's idea, also object if the 
wide modes were not part of the issue?.  How about these objections 
if there was a digital mode under 500 Hz that transmitted unattended 
under automatic control?  It seems to me, that after years of 
complaints that PACTOR, ALE, and CW (W1AW) just fire up in the middle 
of a on-going QSO, that having an area designated for automatic 
unattended operations makes sense.  Then, if we operate there, we do 
so knowing that W1AW or a WINMOR server may activate at any moment? 
(actually W1AW has a schedule , but you get my drift).  A 500 Hz 
sliver of spectrum in 80, 60 (yes)  30, 17,  and  10M would be all 
that is needed.  The current ALE, Winmor, Pactor, operators (there 
really are   only about 200 in the world ,  TOTAL  ) would then use 
narrow forms of their mode to achieve their aims . coordinate 
schedules between them, and have 2500 Hz where their operations are 
primary, and other hams communications in these segments would be 
secondary.

Personalities aside, the proposed bandplan is a bad idea. I
cannot think of a present or future mode that could be better
served by this. ROS has its own problems and standard ALE and
PactorIII presently have areas they can reside. Neither are new or
advancing the state of art. Even Winmor, which is relatively
recent, can not co-exist with existing Winlink PactorIII; is why
they were told to stay out of the wide bandwidth automatic
sub-bands. I have not found ALE to be a problem as they stay on
pre-determined frequencies and actually have little traffic (no
offense intended). The prospect of wide bandwidth Winlink bots
being able to operate on the suggested frequencies is problematic
and antithetical to the need for frequency conservation.

(available for free via WSJT, Multipsk, and soon to be released JT65-HF)


4. Olivia , weak signal capable plus keyboard conversations.Wide and 
narrow versions to vary with conditions ((available for free via 
FL-Digi , DM780, Multipsk, )


5. Feld Hell. Good speed, surprising robust, a fair amount of 
activity, easier on your duty cycle that other modes, not good after a 
couple of beers. ((available for free via FL-Digi , DM780, Multipsk )


That's it, all you need. Yes, I left out MFSK16 despite it being a 
good mode. It is too fusy at times and most things you can do with 
MFSK16 ,you can do with an Olivia variant. MT63 is effective but just 
too much of a bandwidth hog, hardly any activity. If you don't want 
the super robust brief exchanges of JT65A, you could substitute 
DominoEX but you could go a week without hearing anyone else. MFTT at 
quarter speed seems useful, has promise.


I won't count ALE as a specific mode but will still argue that all 
hams should be ALE capable. Still a great concept. Pactor..well great 
at P3 but costs too many Euros. The rest can be great fun, but if you 
want just five, the above are what you need.

Anyone else try this program with the same radio yet.

[digitalradio] microHAM not compatible with Linux?

2008-09-23 Thread Jaak Hohensee

Hello

I started using Acer AspireOne Linux version. Fldigi run nicely.
Bad news that microHAM DigiKeyer is not supported .

microHAM support answer for my query:

   /There is no compatible software for DigiKeyer under Linux, or
   better say, I'm not aware of any, despite there was several guys
   asking for documentation. I'm sorry.

Hope this helps someone.

Re: [digitalradio] Humans tolerate robots!

2008-01-01 Thread Jaak Hohensee
Dave! You wrote, that there is nothing wrong with transmitting robots in 
ham-bands - only verification of frequency.

IMO there are minimum 2 more general questions.

1. Ethics. Robot ethics. So the primary question is not verificational. 
Does the transmitting robot must respect/tolerate operators or vice versa?
Isaac Asimov formulated some basic principles years ago. Now South-Korea 
want to release The Robot Ethics Charter.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6425927.stm


2. If the ham community accept robots in ham bands, then in nearest 
future we see programs with artificial intelligence, that make 24h QSOs 
from starting to QSLing.

What you expect from QSO? Robot or operator?

Better to discuss this topic before.

The flaw in your rhetoric, Jaak, is that Winlink PMBOs are QRMing 
existing QSOs whether or not an emergency is in progress. No one has a 
problem with this during an emergency -- but most of the time (thank 
goodness!) there is no emergency, and we're being QRM'd for no 
rational reason. _There is nothing wrong with unattended stations, 
message passing, or using Pactor III -- but there is a plenty 
wrong with failing to verify that the frequency is locally clear 
before transmitting during non-emergency conditions._

Dear Rodney

You are wrong. You know laws/regulations, but ham-robots dont.
Ham-robots have strong mantra - emergency. And strong mission - 
helping people.

What you and other ham-humans have against this rhetoric?

Ham-humans need better rhetoric against ham-robots. Like this:

Mantra for ham-humans: Ham bands robotfree! Robots act in ham-bands 
like communication terrorists.
Ham-humans mission: To developing human communication skills for any 
case, not only for emergency. For emergency better widely used 
QRP-readiness.
