Hey group, Heard this noise today, but couldn't identify it as a digital signal. Been in the same spot for a year now and have never seen this on my MixW display! Screen shot here: http://img244.imageshack.us/my.php?image=oddnoise14071dm8.jpg On and off for a couple of minutes, then nothing. Strong enough signal to trip my digital interface, so I'm guessing it's around my neighborhood. Doesn't fit any RFI, etc. that I've seen before. Any ideas? 73.

[digitalradio] VISTA and PSK
Hello all This is my first post here because now I have a problem. My wife got me a new laptop with, of course Vista installed. None of the PSK software I have tried and used on my old 2000 system will work because they can't find the sound card. Any solution? Any PSK/RTTY software already Vista compatable? Thanks for any help. Jerry KT5TT
[digitalradio] Re: VISTA and PSK
I have not personally done testing, but several users have announced that they are successfully running all DXLab applications on Vista. So you might give WinWarbler a try; it supports PSK31, PSK653, and RTTY, is free, and is available via www.dxlabsuite.com . 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, jerloch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all This is my first post here because now I have a problem.

Re: [digitalradio] VISTA and PSK
Jerry, Multipsk has been updated to look for either the old sound driver for XP or the new one for Vista. I have not found any other problems working under Vista. Dave Bernstein's DX Commander program works under Vista and can control Multipsk with most rigs. I have my ICOM running under CI-V control, including PTT. There is no other program available that can do what Multipsk can do at this time, so it may be a good choice for you if you like the newer technology. I was not too happy with Vista at first, but I am warming up to it a bit more. Especially, since I have not been able to run Linux well enough on my wide resolution Samsung LCD monitor to be of practical use at this time. So I have been concentrating more on Vista and I have to admit that MS is finally getting things right with some pretty strong security, including DEP (Data Execution Prevention). They do not dare turn on all the security features since that will break too many programs, but we can expect a further move in the security direction over the next few years. DEP is a bit spooky when you try to do things that used to be routine and now the program not only warns you, but causes the display to drastically dim and alert you to something that you need to pay close attention to. Kind of hard to miss:) 73, Rick, KV9U jerloch wrote: Hello all This is my first post here because now I have a problem. My wife got me a new laptop with, of course Vista installed.

Re: [digitalradio] VISTA and PSK
Consider the Tigertronics SignaLink USB - it's an external soundcard and interface in one package, I *think* it supports VISTA, you could always ask Tigertronics. It'll probably be much better that your lappy's infernal soundcard.

RE: [digitalradio] VISTA and PSK
that MS is finally getting things right with some pretty strong security, including DEP (Data Execution Prevention). Not to nit-pick, but for the sake of clarity: Data Execution Prevention isn't a Vista feature. It was introduced in Windows XP (SP2, I think). The reason more people don't see it is it requires a CPU that supports the No-Execute page protection bit. And now... back to discussing the FCC and Winlink, de Peter K1PGV
Re: [digitalradio] VISTA and PSK
My understanding is that people who are using Vista have been able to load and use the DXLab suite of programs quite nicely. WinWarbler , the communications program, along with Commander for CAT control, and DXKeeper, for logging, are very nice, and FREE.

[digitalradio] Re: Digi Keyer
Well done John , I hope to work you with that Digikeyer and TS2000. ANdy K3Uk Andy: The part I failed to understand was creating the ports. I just loaded the template. I went back and created a seperate port for Control, FSK, CW, and PTT. Now Commander is working. I am sure there are some other areas that I will have to work on as well. The first time you try to do this all is not as obvious as it seems later.

Re: [digitalradio] Digital Modes using FM
Andy, A few years ago I did quite a bit of SSTV on 2 meter FM. I just left the setting for the sound card output set the same as SSB. I tried just about every SSTV program that was out there at that time. Never got any complaints. We also went thru repeaters. Just make sure that the repeater owner will allow it if you want to use a repeater. I didn't have that problem since the repeater that I used was my local clubs' and I was the trustee.

John W0TMM Nah, we will have you on this weekend, I'm sure! Load up you software (I think it might be Winwarbler), tune your TS200 to 14070 USB, put Winwarbler in to PSK31 mode and look at the vertical lines on the waterfall. Left click on one of the signals and you will see text appear on the screen . This assumes you have the Digikeyer interfaced with your radio . Your digital modes software will require you to tell it what soudncard your rig is connected to. In the Digikey case, you will tell Winwarbler to choose the codec specified in the DK documentation. Assuming you have Winwarbler, go to config , click on the soundcard tab and then see if you Digikeyer codec is listed. If it is, select it under PSK Soundcard. You can also adjust your transmit and receive mixer settings there if you want. If you don't use Winwarbler, let me know. I can help you with which ever software you are using. Watch a few signals tonight a. and later we can arrabge a schedule to get your transmit feet wey..if you want. RTTY, using FSK, is a tad more tricky but if I can set it up ...anyone can !
