Re: [digitalradio] PSK63F
Thanks Patrick, I'll add PSK63F sometime then, Simon Brown, HB9DRV - Original Message - From: Patrick Lindecker Hello Simon, PSK63F is a bit more quicker that PSK31, a bit more sensitive, is less sensitive to Doppler modulation and is more reliable due to the convolutional coding. It is a good choice. I don't see any interest in PSK125F.
Re: [digitalradio] PSK63F
Another reason why PSK31 is so popular is that it's easy for developers to add support, it's the basic digital mode these days (along with RTTY). There are several open source implementations available which cover Windows and Linux. I haven't been able to keep up with Patrick's work as I have been to involved in getting some other basic software written; for ARQ modes such as FAE 400 to be adopted we need to get a GPL source code available so that it's easy for other developers to add support. Myself I'm not too interested in the emergency comms side of things, at the moment more the normal chit-chat QSO modes. I must say that Patrick has excellent ideas. Simon Brown, HB9DRV - Original Message - From: Rick [EMAIL PROTECTED] What we needed the most, were sound card ARQ modes such as FAE 400 in Multipsk, which is the first Windows sound card ARQ mode that works asynchronously, (as needed), to send full ASCII characters, error free, at a speed about twice as fast as PSK31 but can work deeper into the noise, especially with memory ARQ, and eliminates the timing issues that were such a problem with hardware ARQ modes.

[digitalradio] Sound card: bad device ID ?????????
I disabled my motherboard sound card and then re-enabled it. Receiving digital modes with some software works just fine but some software (e.g Multipsk and PC-ALE) says there is no device present. Other software allow me to receive but when I check transmit settings I get bad device ID ? Using my digital inteface, Microkeyer, the software IS able to get a device ID, some digital mode software are not able. Any ideas ? -- Andy K3UK www.obriensweb.com (QSL via N2RJ)
Re: [digitalradio] Sound card: bad device ID ?????????
I think I am back in business now, after a re-boot and driver installs for the second soundcard. At least Winwarbler is working correctly. Will work on the others gradually.

Re: [digitalradio] Sound card: bad device ID ?????????
DM780, Multipsk, WSJT, and Mixw all working now also. PC-ALE, HAMPAL, and WinDRM to go.

[digitalradio] PSK 31 Ubuntu
Hi to all, This my first post to the group.I am a qrp operator of psk31. I have been using Digipan and Ham radio software with Win XP but would like to move to Ubuntu. Can any one in the group recommend PSK31 software that integrates with Gnome and a logging programme ? I would also like some help compiling it with synaptic. Many thanks for an interesting group, 73 John F5VLM G-QRP
[digitalradio] Re: Hearing impaired hams
This seems like a good time to mention the late Bob Weitbrecht, W6NRM. He was for all practical purposes totally deaf, but was able to copy CW. I never knew if he had just enough hearing at one frequency to hear the tone or if he felt the vibrations on the headphones on his head. Anyway, at an early age he got a ham license and that opened up a whole new social world to him. Like that famous cartoon with the caption On the Internet nobody knows you're a dog for him it was On ham radio (CW) nobody knows you're deaf. When RTTY came along in the 1950s Bob was one of the great enthusiasts and technical developers. He traveled thousands of miles promoting RTTY and helping other hams to get on the air with it. He was, I've been told, one of the main actors in getting FCC to approve the use of FSK on the HF ham bands starting in 1953. Bob was the hero to a whole generation of hams who got on RTTY before Irv Hoff came into the picture. Then in the early 1960s Bob tried to help a deaf friend get a ham license, but his friend was totally unable to copy CW. So Bob turned to telephone communication, resulting in the protocols and modem standard now widely used and called TDD.
Re: [digitalradio] PSK 31 Ubuntu
Hi John.i run Kubuntu 7.10 herethats Ubuntu with the KDE desktopbut basicly the same.fldigi is the best PSK31 and multidigi program available you can d/l at www.w1hjk.com.use the binary as it is easy to get setup.BUT read the Help file first you will need a couple of other libraries as well..you can also in a console type 'apt-get install fldigi' and you will get and early copy from the Ubuntu file systemit should get the other libs as well... if you have a problem please dont hesitate to e-mail me and i will give you a lot of help 73 David VK4BDJ bright235spark wrote: Hi to all, This my first post to the group.I am a qrp operator of psk31.

I will try and install fli/digi tomorrow and see how it goes. I am always a bit wary of compiling the libraries in case I get it wrong, then I am unable to un do it all. I will post the results !! 73 John

Why? Because ham's already have ampr.org and a entire Class A subnet (44/8) which IANA would love to reclaim if they could since that means they can recycle it into even more IPv4 space. How does the AMPR allocation affect a dotham TLD? Most people using the ham tld would probably not be using net44. Think about it, most devices use NAT. If every computer/device that has internet access were to actually *be* on the *real* internet, our IPv4 allocation would be tapped completely long ago. Never mind the money for the IP's they could charge for reallocation. I'm surprised subnets like 5.x.x.x/8 and others haven't been usurped. But we're talking about an organization that still has its roots in the 60's. Your kids know that IPv6 is the future. IPv6 is taking a really long time to take root. There are alternate TLD lookup services out there but no one cares. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_DNS_root It's true most people don't know or care. It's because they're not authoritative. And that should stop somebody why? If it didn't work for .xxx or .porn people, then why would it work for us? Because there's good reasons not to have .xxx and .porn. The IANA will never do this because they maintain the root servers. And who would be our registar body? ARRL? No, thank you. Not the ARRL. Some organization with technical clue, founded specifically for the purpose of administering the domain. If anything, ampr.org need to be expanded to start including IPv6 and other technologies. Yes, IP6 is a good idea. For sure. There are alot of technological advances that IPv6 provides that simply aren't available in IPv4 (like multicast from the ground up with *security*). Sure, you don't have any argument about IPv6, BUT I just don't get how all of this makes a ham TLD a bad idea.
