[digitalradio] Re: Multipsk/Winwarbler DM780 via remote access
In the remote control configuration I used, WinWarbler was running on my home station PC, so the audio link from PC to transceiver did not traverse Skype. Skype let me hear the received audio at my remote location, and transmit SSB. I have not tried transporting PSK or RTTY audio between PC and transceiver over a network using Skype. A virtual soundcard that transports digital data over the network and uses the home station's soundcard for D/A and A/D would eliminate the raggedness you mentioned. I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already done this. A properly-packaged virtual serial port and virtual soundcard would enable remote control with any transceiver control and digital mode application. I'm traveling a lot less than I once did and so don't often use remote control. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Andrew O'Brien" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dave, I have used Winwarbler and Multipsk on the local computer this > evening, connected to my home station via Skype.

[digitalradio] Multipsk/Winwarbler DM780 via remote access
Dave, I have used Winwarbler and Multipsk on the local computer this evening, connected to my home station via Skype. Both work well on the broadband wireless system my local PC was using. I did a test transmission in RTTY , AFSK, and the audio sounded a little rough at the remote end. I will have to record Skype throughput levels in the future. I have no clue how I would send FSK RTTY when accessing my rig over the Internet, but will give that idea some more thought since it might be cleaner transmitted tones, right? The tones would generated from rig to airwaves, no Skype involved. Winwarbler transceiver commands perhaps, I just changed the rig to FSK mode via Ham Radio Deluxe and sent a transmit command , I get a single tone rather than FSK RTTY tones (via monitoring TX output with my ears) . Too tired to think right now. The fix would involve thinking about Microham's device router , ham radio deluxe, an d more. The ham radio deluxe is working well as the vehicle for remote control of the TS2000.

Yes, I used RPSK quite a bit a while back. See http://wa5znu.org/rpsk for source for the client. I stopped using it for TX because I didn't have a hardware 3min timer.

You have the hardware interface - any hardware interface - and the rig it is attached to. For example, I use a RASCAL with my ArgoV and have none of the problems desecribed previously - why - becuause the ArgoV was designed with computers in mind and has a DIN plug in back that gives line level in/out and PTT that can be used to key the rig. So I don't have to unplug anything or change any audio levels when I go to PSK31 For $15-$25 you can buy (or make for under $10) a serial plug with a circuit of about four parts (transistor, diode, resister - all available at radio shack) that plugs into a second serial port (if the first must be use for rig control)and allows CW programs to key the rig through that port. So RASCAL might not work for you, but it is really the RASCAL/RIG pair that is not as streamlined as it might be. 73, Paul
Re: [digitalradio] JT65A HF on cluster
As long as you or another station is spotting someone outside your own country, that is DX, and I see no way that anyone should be upset about it. Individuals may indeed not want to be spotted, and that is entirely different. In a normal QSO I most always ask the other station, at the end of the QSO if it is OK to spot him. I have never been told NO by anyone. Danny Douglas N7DC ex WN5QMX ET2US WA5UKR ET3USA SV0WPP VS6DD N7DC/YV5 G5CTB all DX 2-6 years each .
