 Ok I got to ask, what does this one does that the others don't?

One thing it will not do is require that you pay for a licence.

I wrote it in the spirit of Ham Radio - self education, I decided to write 
something myself to find out what how the digital modes work, also I want a 
modern UI.

Also the Yahoo! MixW list owner wouldn't let me join the group (I am sure 
they breach the terms of the Yahoo! groups), so this gave impetuous to the 
development. If they will not let me play with their ball then I'll make my 
own :-)

Old age creeping in a bit - forget the following:

Later this year, I want to write a Windows agent so that DM780 can connect 
to a remote computer. I'll make this available to other digital programs 
provided the feature remains free.

I want to be able to use an agent in California from my home in Switzerland.

Hi Simon!

First of all my compliments on a fine piece of software. Good work.
I'm sure that all the Amateur Radio community who works digi modes is
gratefull.

Second, can you clarify this:

Also the Yahoo! MixW list owner wouldn't let me join the group (I am sure
they breach the terms of the Yahoo! groups), so this gave impetuous to the
development. If they will not let me play with their ball then I'll make my

Gosh.

[digitalradio] DX Cluster

When I click on one of frequencies it the dx cluster list it does not 
change the mode of the radio, TS-440 to usb when it is above 10mhz or 
when I am above 10mhz and go below it does not change it to lsb. What 
do I not have setup correctly or do I have to set the mode manualy 
when using dx cluster to change the frequency on this radio?

[digitalradio] Bulid your own modes?

2007-04-03 Thread Andrew O'Brien
I note that when something like DM780 comes along, we tend to express
desires that it add a mode that is not covered.  I wonder , is it
possible to design a piece of software that would allow the user to
add their own modes?

I'm thinking of  a basic shell with rig control and a waterfall, ,
then if a publicly available DLL is available (like Moe's PSK CORE )
for the other modes, we could just add them.

I have no idea if this is an easy task since I could not program my
way out of a paper bag.  I figure if my 11 year daughter can build her
own bear at the mall, maybe we hams can build our own mode menus.  It
might be easier on the author too, he/she would not get a zillion
requests to add the mode du jour .

2007-04-03 Thread Simon Brown
Think no further: this is something else which I support.

The decoder / encoder sits in a DLL with source available. In fact there are 
two DLLs: one for PSK only (based on Moe's code) and one based on fldigi (I 
am yet to write this).

I plan that DM780 will look at the DLLs in its folder when it starts and 
load those which look like they could be of some use, there will be a 
specification for this and you will be able to take the source I supply.

This should / could be available by about the end of June.

 Good one Tony!

Sure is a neat way to work super-weak signals on 
HF. I moved the beam away from the stations I was 
copying to see how far into the noise I could hear 
them. Copied a few at minus 20db.

Was able to work several stations on EME with a 
signal Yagi / 100 watts with this mode a while 
back so it does work wonders.

You might also want to look at pocketdigi, where Vojtech which has taken 
the gmfsk modems and ported them to WinCE/PocketPC.  He also has an x86 
Windows compiled version.  I am sure Dave has advanced the gmfsk modems

to share techniques among all those who are porting the same codebase to

Thanks for the heads up Simon, the question I have know is that when you
use the band switch on the radio it automatically changes for lsb to usb
or just the opposite, can the program change to the band first and then
input the frequency so that it would be in the correct mode?

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Digital Master 780

2007-04-03 Thread kd4e
 To be honest you're best off getting a second-hand computer for DM780. 

I have a laptop coming with WinXP for such occasions.

I also need it for some of our children's learning
programs.

It will just not be allowed direct access to the internet.

 Let's assume I wrote it in Java - I've still got the problem of 
 soundcard interfacing (not an enormous issue), packaging it up, testing 
 every change I make. Life's too short for this, it's a hobby.

Understood.

 Anyway, as a Linux user you have fldigi, a fine program.
 Simon Brown, HB9DRV

I have it, just wanted to join in the excitement of
your new program!  :-)

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Digital Master 780

2007-04-03 Thread kd4e
What is the likelihood it would run under Linux using
the WINE interface?

Is there too much that relies upon elements of proprietary
MS design or is it fairly generic -- if it runs under
Win98, Win2000, and WinXP I am guessing it is pretty
generic and may run under WINE.

In the bigger picture I have observed that Java is often
used for cross-platform compatibility and TCL/TK to make
things really small.  Not sure what other tools are most
suited to cross-platform development.

Sure wish I had the skills to develop this sort of stuff!

Thanks for creating it!

 No - I just don't have enough time to write the Windows code I need.
  Just buy an (old) 1 GHz Windows 2000 system and you are in business.
 
 
 Also it's not a port - it really needs a 100% rewrite for Linux / Mac
 OS.

Let me rephrase the question. Are you (or anyone else) running a
second sound card with WSJT?

Tnx

[digitalradio] Best mode for severe QRN?

2007-04-03 Thread kv9u
Well, tonight my experimenter friend and I got taken out by QRN when it 
came to digital modes. We often run a Tuesday night sked. We started on 
MFSK16 and then tried to go to the ALE 141A mode and no luck with that 
or FAE. It just could not handle that much QRN.

We then went back to MFSK and decided to try DEX11/FEC which I was 
hoping would work as well as it has been during quieter times. No luck. 
Hardly any print so dropped down to 8 baud and still no good. What a 
disappointment.

Back to MFSK, but even that was getting more and more spotty with lots 
of hits and even long stretches of no print at all. The QRN levels were 
at or exceeding 50 microvolts (S9 on my calibrated S-meter).  The 
signals seemed to have deteriorated as well and actually appeared to get 
much weaker. I don't think it was just the S/N ratio causing this but 
was a combination of weaker signals and stronger QRN.

In fact, I got so desperate for any kind of mode that I switched to CW 
and eventually I moved up a bit and he realized that I was sending CW in 
his passband. Even then, the communications were extremely difficult 
with the CW tones being chopped up badly by the QRN which were at the 
serious popcorn level. Increasing filters did not really help much. It 
did increase the S/N ratio but the noise bursts tend to block the 
signal, making it more difficult to copy than with a wider filter.

Of all the sound card modes we have now, I would like to hear some 
opinions of what you think is the best one for these kinds of conditions.

73,

Rick, KV9U

Hello Rick,

Try MT63 under heavy QRN conditions; alot of downsides but for 
bucking qrn/qrm have found this about the bestCHIP modes also 
seem to do well in high qrn environmentsboth are wide bandwidth 
(relatively) so this may well be a part of it all..

Hi Rick,

I'm surprised you didn't try one of the Olivia flavors. 
Olivia 500/16 or 500/8 maybe?

1000/32 would blow all the QRN away, methinks

Hi John,

Yes, I agree, Olivia 1000/32 is excellent, it decodes at -13dB SNR.

Olivia 500/16 is about 1dB better than 1000/32.
Olivia 250/8 is about 2dB better than 1000/32.

Here is a chart (courtesy of Patrick F6CTE)
http://www.hflink.com/olivia/#formats

I've noticed that going from PSK31 to Olivia 500/16 is like turning on
a kilowatt amp.
