[digitalradio] ALE Signal/Noise Report BER (Re: 14109.5)
Thanks for the report, Andy. It looks like you had a good ALE copy on me for BER 17 and SN 05. That sequence was just as the texting part of the QSO ended. Could you see N6IZ also?

[digitalradio] Re: RTTY standard
The number of developers of soundcard RTTY software is pretty small, so I think it's reasonable to ask them to make software interoperable with a mechanical TTY. K6STI was concerned about this with his RITTY program and worked out end-of-line processing that is satisfactory. W1HKJ has just done the same for gmfsk. If MMTTY and MixW and TrueTTY and MultiPSK and maybe a few others will come along it will make the world safe for historical purists. On the other hand, there are good reasons for putting something electronic between the TU and the mechanical TTY. (I'm repeating myself a lot lately.) If the mechanical TTY misses a STOP pulse the receiving shaft keeps going and it will be several characters before the machine gets back in sync. An electronic intermediary can note the missing STOP pulse and supply one to the machine to prevent the multi-character error. Otherwise the machine will always be at a disadvantage when competing with electronic receiving equipment. K6STI added a feature to RITTY providing an output signal to drive a printer with cleaned-up Baudot when receiving. I wish other programmers would do likewise. Need a Digital mode QSO?

Re: [digitalradio] Re: RTTY standard
I'm sitting on the side, laughing my *** off, about this whole RTTY story. On the one hand, a user of a FREE program is insisting that the reply he gets is inadequate; while calling for adherence to a Standard that does not exist. The RTTY standard seems to be 'Do it yourself, but some simple expedients are ignored. If John wants to use his 'Boat Anchor' electromechanical device in an electronic world, let him add a simple electromechanical solution to his problem; a 'Micro-Switch' that triggers a relay when the type head hits(literally) the EOL, can be set to do many things, such as signal 'CR/LF', or ring a bell to get the operators attention. This way, he can prevent punching holes in his paper, while adhering to his electromechanical 'Purity'. Follow the Golden Rule-'He who furnishes the Gold (does the work) sets the rules'. This program (DxLab) is one of the best supported assemblies of complex procedures in existence. And the cost is Nada- Zilch- it's free. You should adapt to it, with your BA, not insist on someone else adapting it to archaic gadgets.

RE: [digitalradio] Demostrating digital modes without lots of equipment ?
Hello Andy, My Shreveport Amateur Radio group meets in the public library here in town. Most semi-large cities have a decent library and many have modern multi-media capabilities in their meeting rooms. You might get lucky and see if your group might meet you there at whatever they have at your library. You have little to lose and might even be surprised. Rick KH2DF/5 From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew O'Brien Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 11:58 AM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: [digitalradio] Demostrating digital modes without lots of equipment ? Back in the dark ages, when PSK31 was very new, I was on the regional talk-circuit giving talks/demos about the new digital mode. I spoke to many radio clubs and would literally take most of my shack with me. HF radio, desktop PC, monitor, antenna and more. This got to be a pain, or rather putting my station back together got to be a pain. Getting those cables and settings just right, took some time. Another club has contacted me and wants me to give a talk on PSK31 in April. I will probably say yes but I am wondering if anyone here has suggestions for doing an interesting/entertaining presentation with mimimal equipment? A couple of clubs arranged large screen TVs and PC to video projectors , but I can't expect this of most clubs. I'm thinking along the lines of a CD of digital mode MP3 files and a laptop PC. Perhaps a DVD of me operating in my shack, showing the modes that way. I am guessing someone has already been there done that , so I'll take suggestions. Andy K3UK Need a Digital mode QSO?
