[digitalradio] Re: Technical Question: FDMDV

2007-12-07 Thread cesco12342000
 A 50 baud signal should have either a 50 Hz or a 100 Hz separation by my
 understanding.  

fdmdv modem is NOT OFDM. (would be called OFDMDV if it was)

And even with ofdm, 50baud and 50hz will not work in real world. Try to 
googe ofdm and guard interval.

What spacing would an ofdm systen with 50 baud and 1/3 guard interval, 
2/3 symbol time have?

Modem description from Peter G3PLX (the modem author):

---
The modem is based on a raised cosine shaped tone filter response which 
has the property of zero ISI and zero adjacent tone interference with no 
sidelobes. Half the channel filter is in the tx and the other half in the 
rx, so it's often called root raised cosine because the channel filters 
at each end have a response which is the square-root of the complete 
filter.

2007-12-07 Thread Vojtech Bubnik
Yes, my note about bpsk/qpsk was nonsense.

 My understanding of theory is that baud equals the spread between
tones in
 an OFDM or 2* baud in basic multi-tone signal. 

As someone noted, it is not ODFM.

 That does not fit with a 50 baud and 75 Hz separation.

Compromise on total signal width and intersymbol interference.

Re: [digitalradio] Remote Access Desktop, and remote digital operation

2007-12-07 Thread Don Fanning
If you forward port 3389 on your firewall to that machine, it will 
probably work.

There are other options:

RealVNC which allows you to share the desktop rather than one person 
at a time (when you log in remotely into a Windows XP/Vista machine 
using Remote Desktop, the local console is blanked out to the Login 
screen).

Someone else mentioned PCAnywhere but I haven't used that program in 
decades...

I'd probably recommend http://logmein.com because it's able to transit 
firewalls with ease and allows desktop sharing. There is a free 
version that allows a pretty high amount of client machines to be 
accessible via the web interface. The software works on all platforms 
whether it's windows, linux, mac.. as long as it's a reasonably modern 
operating system.

I too use Remote Desktop on my local LAN to access my Ham gear. As far 
as access from the Internet, there could be an issue with a hardware or 
software firewall blocking inbound data. I need to try this here, as I 
have access too 2 WANs (ISPs) at home.

 Hi Andy,

 It's a nice idea but bear in mind that with a perfect scenario the maximum
 number of contacts per hour would only be 12. A full exchange with a CQ
 thrown in would take 5 minutes to complete.
 Also because the text boxes are limited to 13 characters in my case it is
 not possible to call CQ DRCC VE3CDX - it will get truncated to CQ DRCC
 VE3CD. It will work though if I run the text together such as CQDRCC VE3CDX.
 The grid square gets thrown away though.

 If you are proposing using EME protocol then operators can edit the text
 boxes quite easily but if there are a lot of stations and there is QRM then
 it will be very difficult to distinguish who is sending RO EM00 - especially
 if there are two stations in EM00. Or if someone is sending RO and their
 DRCC number. If you are proposing to use terrestrial protocol then you can
 make it work as long as the operators do a lot of editing of the text boxes.
 And are very careful about spacing of the characters. If an inadvertent
 space gets inserted then some information is going to get missed.

 Just my thoughts.

 73, Barry VE3CDX/W7 DM26ic

 As a point if interest the JT65 modes do not allow use of the /W7. There is
 a definite set of prefixes that the JT65 modes recognize but /W7 isn't in
 the list. In fact /W or /K are also illegal characters. The /W7 is valid
 with the meteor scatter modes though - FSK441 and JT6M. If someone works me
 on JT65A on HF they may think I'm in VE3 unless they pay attention to the
 DM26 grid.

 Non-DRCC members send Grid Square
 RO of DRCC number or grid

 Scoring : 5 points each DRCC member contact
 1 point each non- DRCC member contact
 Stations can be worked once per band

 Example  K3UK works 55 DRCC stations , 275
 K3UK works 20 non-DRCC stations, 20 poiints

RE: [digitalradio] Remote Access Desktop, and remote digital operation

2007-12-07 Thread Dave AA6YQ
I have in the past used LogMeIn and Skype to remotely control my home
station while running RTTY, PSK, and CW.

Recently, a new free remote access service has become available:
https://www.crossloop.com/landing.htm . This service installs a client on
each participating PC, and uses the web to mediate access. Its performed
well in basic tests, but I've not tried remote control with it. I'm
considering its use as a support tool for DXLab.

A remote control technique that I've not often heard mentioned is to place a
webcam in your home station and focus it on your transceiver. This lets you
monitor transceiver, amplifier, rotator,a nd power supply readouts that
might not be available via your station control software. Tnx to Tom
AB2UL...

[digitalradio] Remote Access Desktop, and remote digital operation

2007-12-07 Thread Patrick Lindecker
Hello John,

The remote control through TCP/IP exists in Multipsk. I and Cesco (HB9TLK) have 
permitted to control a remote transceiver thanks to a TCP/IP link through which 
it is transported the sound (as Skipe) and the commands (RX/TX).
For this, click on the button Mdem. Click on Help (RX/TX operations through 
signals exchanged with a TCP/IP server) for more details.
You must start, on the remote transceiver side, either Gui_serv_Multipsk 
(HB9TLK) or Multidem (F6CTE).

It is not as complete as what is presented by K7AGE (because it is limited to 
digital modes and you can't change the XCVR frequency), but it permits at least 
to make digital QSOs through the remote transceiver. 
For example it might be possible to send CQ DE F6CTE/VE5MU F6CTE/VE5MU +K if 
F6CTE controls  the transceiver of VE5MU (in fact it is theoritical as it is 
strictly forbidden in France). Afterwards, F6CTE will be able to QSO with 
another Ham. However there is a random latency time (up to several seconds) due 
to Internet which remind you that you are not in direct...

I have been doing this for years while I was working in the 
St. Louis area 70 miles from my station. I was using a program
called  PcAnyWhere With a rig control program for the FT-847 
and a program for the TNC I had many a QSO remote.

I understand what you are saying and sure it can be done.
But the Windows XP remote access only works for XP pro does 
it not? Never used it since I have the pcanywhere.

 And in this entire thread, I'm surprised that I haven't seen any 
 comments about D-STAR! 960 bps is built into every radio and the ID-1 
 can do 128 kbps. It's not AX.25, but it is packet digital data. It's 
 pretty cool to put two ID-1s back to back and watch the amount of data 
 that can be transfered. And since the ID-1 have Ethernet jacks, that 
 means that you can do any Internet protocol that you want.

Did not seem to be a reason to comment as the topic was packet. A group 
of us have used the 23cm ID-1s in the digital data mode (128kbps) in a 
local public service event just find the past two years. We used the 
access point and the user radios to allow operators at out stations to 
access a web server front end to the event database. Worked fine.

In addition we used 2 ID-1s connected to an ethernet switch to serve as 
a relay for a site that did not have a good direct path. And of course 
tested two ID-1s as an Ethernet bridge which makes a nice 128 kbps 
backbone for say 9600 bps packet gateways.

As an aside we also had a 9600 bps packet system up as a back up which 
also worked fine.

I control 3 PC's running pskmail servers via the internet using various 
flavours of vnc.
.(X11vnc, RealVNC)

It is only a matter of freeing the right ports in your firewall. Works for 
windows as 
well as Linux and Mac OS.

There is even a Java web browser solution using port 
5800+number_of_your-desktop.

Best solution is to run a vnc connection via a SSH tunnel, whcih gives you a 
secure channel.
When you first start a vnc desktop and start your apps after that you can 
disconnect 
from the desktop and come back to it later.
