Re: [digitalradio] Re: First HELL mode Net will be held on 2 April Sunday at 1800z
HI John: It doesn't matter where we try and use the band ,, pactor comes on right on top of us without listening anyway.. thats the way it has alway work and always will.. I would like to see all automatic stations, stuck down in the courner of bands and then they can all transmit on top of each other. Or how about I set my rig to transmit Olivia 1000hz at about 1 min intervals to CQ all day and night long right in the middle of the pactor stations??? Or how about the pactor station GET A CONTROL OPERATOR!! to see that they are not tranmiting on top of someone.. What a revelation.. Courtesy to other stations that are already in a QSO... After being drowned out by several packet stations while I'm in a QSO, I have taken to snapping a digital picture, with callsign and sending it to the FCC, so they can see where a autopacket station comes right on top of QSO's in progress (PSK,MFSK, etc).. Do I expect anything to be done?? No.. But I can dream..

RE: [digitalradio] Another New Digital Mode!
Title: RE: [digitalradio] Another New Digital Mode! This unit (http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/wec.shtml) might work well with this mode and you can move your station outside on nice days and not need an extension cord. Walt/K5YFW -Original Message- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:digitalradio@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Andrew J. O'Brien Sent: Friday, March 31, 2006 8:22 PM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: [digitalradio] Another New Digital Mode! Just received this and thought I would pass it along, looks like a new one to 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 one is DUSK-A1. developed by Walter DU1SK. DUSK has some fundamental differences from the other digital modes (PSK, MFSK Olivia, etc) in that this mode has been developed primarily for the low bands (80 and 160) with an emphasis on grey-line propagated signals. DUSK-AI takes advantage of AMI- Alternate Mark Inversion . Many digital hams will already be aware that AMI has a 12.5% density minimum. The reduced density minimum of DUSK-A1 creates a more tolerable AOA, or Angle of Arrival A position identification technology that detects the direction of a signal received from a transmitter at only one point. In this system, the transmitter's location is determined from the receivers' antenna position and the AOA of the signals that are from the antennas. In practical terms, grey-line like conditions are created regardless of the actual position of the sun. DUSK-A1 grey line performance, and sun position irrelevance , is also enhanced by the inclusion of CTA. Continuous Time Oversampling A technique that simplifies the job of synchronizing data generated from disparate sampling rates. The technique resamples and synchronizes audio data as needed, and it eliminates the substrate noise and feedthrough problems. The beta version of DUSK-A1 also includes Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution an enhanced radio modulation technique for GSM and TDMA (ANSI-136) networks that expands radio timeslots . The expanded time slots also factor in enhanced daylight propagation , especially on 160 meters. When combined with GPRS, it gives a maximum performance with narrow bandwidth. 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 at DUSK-A1 from http://www.obriensweb.com/dusk.htm Need a Digital mode QSO?

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 Need a Digital mode QSO?

[digitalradio] Sick Feld Hell Tones in MixW
Can someone listen to the brief mp3 file at http://www.obriensweb.com/hell.mp3 Something is very "odd" sounding with my Feld Hell tones in Mixw, whereas in Muptipsk the tones sound good to me. Same audio settings in the soundcard. The audio file starts with Multipsk tones, then after the 3 seconds of silence the MixW Feld Hell tones start. The tones are recorded via PC mic near my PC speakers, hence the slight variation in volume levels. A couple of the people I have worked with MixW Hell say my tones sound fine at their end but I get a lot of no answers when using MixW Hell versus Hell in Multipsk. -- Andy K3UK Need a Digital mode QSO?

Re: [digitalradio] Sick Feld Hell Tones in MixW
Hi Andy: they do sound kind of strange to me, but I fed them to mixw and they decoded just fine But I also recorded some of mine and they do not sound like that..

[digitalradio] Re: Sick Feld Hell Tones in MixW
Hi Andy, The first tones sound fine; about what I am used to hearing on the air or when monitoring my own transmissions...the second set seems clipped or over-driven...is it merely a difference of drive levels between Multipsk and MixW??

The MixW sick tones do not change even if I lower the drive level.. At the same drive level in MixW all other modes have good sounding tones. Only Hell sound this bad.
