JA7BJP calling me at 0413 UTC today on 7076 USB.The only problem,
I was fast asleep.  I left JT65A monitoring 7076 overnight with a wide
tolerance and aside from some North Americans,  and Europeans, there
was my chance to work Asia on this mode , 40M.Oh well.

I'll have to look for an opening around that time tonight.

Hello Dan,

First, congratulations on the General ticket!

Am sure if you give us details as to the software you are using and 
what modes are of interest (hopefully they coincide!), there are many 
hear that would be glad to help you. Suspect PSK31 would be the 
easiest mode to start with; the usual watering holes are 3.580, 7.070 
and 14.070 USB. Listen alot, ask questions and have fun!

Hi Andy. Regarding the TOL.. that was my problem, I think, but I didn't
realize it until much later after you tried calling me back. My TOL was
cranked down to 50 and Freeze was on, and only after checking everything and
re-rereading the Bozo's guide did I realize this probably wasn't what I
wanted. By the time I had it all sorted out, it was late, so I shut down. I
will probably be lurking on the frequency again tonight after 2300. Thanks
for calling me, hopefully next time we'll get a QSO completed.

Isnt this the reason for the group?   If we had a separate group for every

would drag none of us into researching the modes ourselves.  If the mode
gets big enough, and lasts, beyond the initial excitement of a new mode,

By the way, Im listening to 14076 and it sounds like a three string plucker

Hey Danny.

You know, I don't have a problem posting my newbie/learning messages
off line to whomever I am getting help from.  I concur with your message
but if there's ONE member who perceives the thread to be merely that
of confirming contacts and not learning curves, there may be others.

Besides, 'tis better to look goofy in private than expose to everyone how
much of a mushroom you are.  That's always safer 

Hmmm... the thread is kinda like BETA testing.  When we've got the
kinks ironed out off line, then Andy could publish an ONLINE update to
the Bozo project he created.  That way the forum is krispy clean.

I'm going back to that...thaterOTHER mode and continue fiddlin'

Re: [digitalradio] Digital modes duty cycle and the ft-897

2007-04-10 Thread WB6BNE
Hello James,

All you have to do is look up the power ratings
for RTTY. Sub the words Digital Modes for the word RTTY.
With PSK adjust audio level just below the point ALC starts indicating
on meter. This will give you anywhere from 30 to 45 watts out.
As far as Duty Cycle of a QSO is usually around 50 percent, unless
you are long winded and the other station is short winded.

[digitalradio] Power levels JT65

2007-04-10 Thread KT2Q
All:

It's not necessary to run big power with JT65. 
Loud signals will only make it difficult for the 
mode to extract the weaker signals out of the 
noise. It has the capability to decode signals 
well below the noise floor; much more so than the 
HF digital modes we're use to.

I think it's a good idea to use the same 
rule-of-thumb for JT65 as you would with any other 
mode; use enough power necessary to make the 
contact. Just keep in mind that JT65 can decode 
signals you can't even hear.

[digitalradio] Re: Need PacComm Pactor COntroller Info

2007-04-10 Thread mpupeza
Carl;
Lucky you, the PacComm PTC-1 is still supported by Airmail in Winlink.
The pinouts for the 5 Pin DIN plug are the same as the corresponding 
pins on the 8 pin DIN plugs on the SCS PTC-IIex and their other TNCs. 
You can find that on the SCS site, and the complete manual for the 
Z80 based PTC-I. http://www.scs-ptc.com/download/Z80_PTC_eng.pdf 
That version of firmware that you have is the latest, and last 
version, but works fine.
Run Airmail and select the PTC-I in TNC type. You should be OK.
HOWEVER, there are some WL2K stations that are NOT accepting P1 
connects, others that only allow at certain times, others certain 
frequencies. Much of that info is in the Text Content of the 
Frequency Lists provided with Airmail. Best is to try - because ALL 
initial PMBO connects start in P1 - then they'll tell you if they 
don't support P1!
Good Luck, it does work well.
73
Mike VE3EQP.
P.S. The PacComm PTC-I does outperform MOST of the other P1 TNC's due 
to it's true ARQ memory system.

*Subject:* [digitalradio] Digital modes duty cycle and the ft-897



For field day I will be responsible for digitial communications.  I have
searched high and low, looked in both manuals for the FT-897D and have been
unable to find any information on duty cycle.

Does anyone have any information that would help me determine the duty
cycle of this type of radio with digital communications?

2007-04-10 Thread Andrew O'Brien

It has been suggested that there is less concern about this mode than PSK
and that a good amount of ALC is OK.  I'm reviewing this for the next bozo
update.

Hi Andy,

I've been running at half power but I suspect that most transceivers could

safely transmit at full power for a minute or less followed by at least a
full minute's rest, which is the nature of the mode.

One in the same Alan.
In the A mode check the H1 or H2 button in the upper right
hand corner.

Do you know what percentage of them do NOT accept P1 connects ?

 Carl;
 Lucky you, the PacComm PTC-1 is still supported by Airmail in Winlink.
 The pinouts for the 5 Pin DIN plug are the same as the corresponding 
 pins on the 8 pin DIN plugs on the SCS PTC-IIex and their other TNCs. 
 You can find that on the SCS site, and the complete manual for the 
 Z80 based PTC-I. http://www.scs-ptc.com/download/Z80_PTC_eng.pdf 
 That version of firmware that you have is the latest, and last 
 version, but works fine.
 Run Airmail and select the PTC-I in TNC type. You should be OK.
 HOWEVER, there are some WL2K stations that are NOT accepting P1 
 connects, others that only allow at certain times, others certain 
 frequencies. Much of that info is in the Text Content of the 
 Frequency Lists provided with Airmail. Best is to try - because ALL 
 initial PMBO connects start in P1 - then they'll tell you if they 
 don't support P1!
 Good Luck, it does work well.

 P.S. The PacComm PTC-I does outperform MOST of the other P1 TNC's due 
 to it's true ARQ memory system.

2007-04-10 Thread Bill McLaughlin
Hi Bill,

Not ignorance at all, it is not very intuitive!

It means (basically) that Tony heard WD4KPD calling CQ DX in JT65 mode 
on 14.076.

file ID (time based): 001000
sync: 5
strength: -11 db
time offset: -0.2 (in seconds)
freq offset: 277 (in Hz)
sync width: 3
message type: normal (*)

hence: 001000  5  -11 -0.2  277  3 *

2007-04-10 Thread Bill McLaughlin
Hi Andy,

May well be, what JT65 decode parameters do you have set?  It is a 
valid call in the deep search file: JA7BJP,QM07GNnote the 0  10 
decode at the end of the line -- it gives one a clue as to 
the source of the decoded text/call - in this case 0 means no 
Reed-Solomon decode but a 10 (high confidence) deep search decode.

[digitalradio] WSJT issue, recieve waterfall issue.

2007-04-10 Thread James Wilson
Tonight I got WSJT working for the first time and I found my first problem.  I 
am using a Signalink USB connected to a ft-897 the waterfall is almost all 
blue.  No static or other signal indications.  I switched to 14.070, strong PSK 
signals showed up excellent on my PSK waterfall but barely showed up in WSJT.  

I do have the correct interface selected, I proved this by turning up the 
volume on the signalink and I could see an increase in DB but very little 
actual data.  

Any help is appreciated thanks in advance.
