[digitalradio] lost feature

2006-06-28 Thread Bill Aycock
Sometime in the recent past, I saw, and tried, a neat small feature.  It 
displayed a small window (quite small) in the upper right edge of the 
screen, that showed time, UTC.
My problem has several sides.
1. I don't know how I lost it.
2.  I don't remember the name.
3. I don't remember the list I saw it on. (you may see this query on other 
lists, later.)
4. I want it back.
Any and all help will be appreciated

Good point Andy. But my question still is on the table.
If it works why not use it?

You can do that with an old mode called Packet, 1200 baud packet on VHF,
using Paclink or Airmail for Winlink.

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Field Day and PSK31

2006-06-28 Thread John Bradley
Emergency voice communications has it's place, especially UHF and VHF short 
haul, in support of the responding agencies. We, for example , often support 
Search and Rescue teams in the field, using VHF and often GMRS., and often the 
served agencies system as well. We are not limited to ham bands only. While a 
radio log is kept of all transmissions and incoming messages, the log is a 
summary of the trafic, not the exact, word for word of the message.

Where digital comes into play is passing formal traffic between sites, when 
radio system are overloaded and we take up some of the traffic. These by nature 
are formal written traffic, often technical in nature which requires word for 
word transmission, and formal message handling skills on the part of the hams. 
For those of you who have done formal traffic under less than stellar 
conditions, this can be a very laborious process. 

This is why we have gone to developing digital comms from our command post, and 
at the local EOC, so that formal traffic can be passed as fast as the typist 
can go. we are set up to use VHF, and HF as required since we service a large 
area where 80 and 40M would be effective , up to a range of 500km . This is not 
"long haul" but enough to be a challenge. 

Most long haul traffic would be formal messages as well, and digital modes 
coould certainly make that exercise less painfull. 

Digital modes in the recovery phase of and incident would also be practical, 
handling the often overwhelming volume of health and welfare traffic.

What would really be great would be an easily established gateway between a 
digital mode and the internet to pass off messages on the form of email, 
besides the Pactor 1 2 3 that is currently available. That is one item on my 
wish list right now

  I would agree that in some cases, a digital mode will get through 
  when SSB voice will not.

  However... in a real emergency where help is needed right now, it is 
  far more likely that communication could be established by SSB voice 
  operating from a car or other makeshift location. Digital modes 
  require a computer and someone on the other end who is similarly 
  equipped, and that's a bit much to ask in a real emergency. Once the 
  immediate need has passed and things settle down, digital may have its place.

  To sum up: Get on the mike and start hollering. SSB voice will be 
  much more likely to be heard and replied to, in my opinion. This 
  could change in the future but for now, that's how I see it.

  Bill, W6WRT

You can with digital modes get accurate copy even while using the ssb
mode and not be able to hear the tones. And like the field day i was
at we couldnt get reliable communications with SSB on 20/40/80 with
100 watts. in marginal conditions id imagine  cw or some of the

This year was my first  field day. I was  assigned to the GOTA
station... In some ways  I felt that  it was the  I'm too new to rack up
enough  qso contacts to matter for the contest section...

But then I was shown PSK 31 in action.  No one was really working this 
when i  pathed thru the  frequencys for field day probably due to the
speed limitation  that  psk 31 seemed  slower in some aspects compared
to  morse code.

I began my search regarding psk31 in google and then stumbled across
olivia a simmular technology like psk31  but faster  hd error correction
and other  enhancements that would make this protocol a great canidate
for these modes of communication.

I hope next field day i can work the digital modes and  cw.
