[digitalradio] DRM on Vista using a SDR-IQ as the receiver

DRM on Vista using a SDR-IQ as the receiver.
http://www.rfspace.com/SDR-IQ.html

To tie in the audio lines, I used VAC, virtual audio cable from:
http://www.ntonyx.com/vac.htm

Have DRM in digital mode and tune using about 12 KHz bandwidth in USB mode.
Worked great here. If you get a conflict on Line 1 of VAC, set up two lines
(cables) and use Line 2.

Evaluation version work great. The promo voice is only heard on the AM mode
of DRM, not on the digital.

I will be experimenting with the new S L O  W CW QRSS mode today from
1500 to 1530 on 10.139 (1000 Hz AF) using the 3 second option.  I will
also try the same  at 22:00 UTC and 0100 UTC.

[digitalradio] "RANKING THE DIGITAL MODES FOR THE STEALH QTH with Tables.doc" paper from Ed Sack (W3NRG)

2008-07-19 Thread Patrick Lindecker
Hello all,

Ed Sack (W3NRG) issued a paper which name is "RANKING THE DIGITAL MODES FOR THE 
STEALH QTH with Tables.doc" at the "ARRL and TAPR Digital Communications 
Conference 2007".

Speaking of it, Ed aggreed to add his paper to my papers collection (PAPERS.ZIP 
file). Thanks to him.

So the Ed's paper is available from my site. It is included in the PAPER. ZIP 
file.
To download this ZIP file, paste this adress in your Internet Explorer or 
equivalent: http://f6cte.free.fr/PAPERS.ZIP
Download the ZIP file and extract RANKING THE DIGITAL MODES FOR THE STEALH QTH 
with Tables.doc.

The beginning of the paper is the following:
RANKING DIGITAL MODES FOR A "STEALTH" QTH


by Ed Sack, W3NRG


Using the digital mode software "MultiPSK"1 as our guide, we find that there 
are something like 40 different digital transmission modes available to the 
amateur radio operator. These modes range from the "historic" (Hellschreiber) 
to the "classical" (RTTY) to the "relatively recent" (example, OLIVIA.) The 
availability of software to transmit and receive these modes using the computer 
sound card has rapidly expanded their use in ham communications.


Some modes are more popular in one part of the world than another. Some are 
preferred by DXers and some are the every day vehicles for QRP stations. All 
have had their advocates at one time or another and many have undergone several 
revisions, as is common with most software development.2 Most of the articles 
that discuss the performance of the various modes focus on their utility in DX 
(or EME3) work. We have not found much information which focuses on the ability 
of the mode to provide useful communications under the very marginal conditions 
that may occur in a "stealth" QTH where antennas are very limited and local 
noise conditions may be very severe.


The author attempts to enjoy his amateur radio operations under what might be 
described as "condo-stealth" conditions. Due to the steel stud construction of 
the building in which he operates internal antennas are essentially useless. 
The only external antennas that do not attract COA attention are short whips 
which may be attached to the condo balcony. To make the situation more 
challenging, the condo building itself sits in the midst of other steel frame 
structures of similar height. Hence, the "straight shots" for the antennas are 
in two open paths between the individual buildings. If not all of that was a 
sufficient challenge, there are some very significant sources of external 
interference within the line of sight from the QTH
