[digitalradio] Mixw news
News from Nick UT2UZ suggests he is still working on a big update to MiXw and that it has been seriously delayed by a car accident. See the interesting thread at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mixw/ There does not appear to be any concrete information as to when an update is expected, does not appear to be soon. -- Andy K3UK

Re: [digitalradio] The new arrl digial ecomm class
Did they release more than the web site below? The course looks like it would give a good overview to hams who are newer to digital modes and are also interested in public service communications and want to see how these mode could be used. If anyone takes the course, I am sure that many of us would be interested in their opinion. It is my view, that it may be even more important for newer hams to know about a general knowledge of public service communications such as the structure of various organizations, what equipment they may use, and how it can work. Most of public service (90% or more) is going to be tactical phone, and most of that on VHF. There is a move toward moving away from RF paths and toward internet connections in order to extend the range of what was formerly more local capabilities of VHF, examples being Winlink 2000, IRLP, Echolink, D-Star, etc. I have taken all three of the ARRL ARECC courses when they were subsidized by a third party, and while I don't necessarily recommend that you spend the money to do this, if you have not been involved in amateur radio public service, you might consider Course I. The other courses tend to repeat and amplify the information in the first course, especially for those who are interested in becoming leaders in ARES. Then if you find this valuable, you can give consideration to how you would employ digital modes with public service communications. Realistically, it has been a very small part, but maybe that could change? As much as I have been involved with amateur radio digital modes for several decades, I have not found much interest in the general ham community since the packet radio years when almost all active hams were involved with VHF digital. Now most of the HF digital is PSK31 but there are not that many who use many of the other technologies. And as we get more ways of doing more and more digital modes and systems, this tends to spread the users into thinner participation for any one mode or system. It is a very different world than even 10 years ago, much less 20 or 30 years ago. 73, Rick, KV9U The HFDEC (Hams for Disaster and Emergency Communications) yahoogroup discusses all aspects of amateur radio public service. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hfdec/?v=1t=searchch=webpub=groupssec=groupslk=1 pcooke2002 wrote: The ARRL Digital Technology for Emergency Communications Course. http://www.remote.arrl.org/catalog/?item=1247#top I know it is a new course, but has anyone had a change to read the pre-released material. I am wondering if it is worth the money?
RE: [digitalradio] Mixw news
I tried to join some years ago - got blacklisted! Well, THAT'S ridiculous... who would blacklist YOU? Oh, never mind, I know the moderator of that list can be temperamental. ANYhow... the message is second-hand, and there are no details provided, as usual. Just there was a major update scheduled for late last year, then the Nick (the primary dev of MixW) got into a car accident, and then earlier this year his equipment suffered a lightning strike. In other words... SOME day, they'll be an update. Don't know what'll be in it, what bugs will be fixed, or when it'll come. Peter K1PGV

I amlooking foreward to getting into PSK31 and would like some advise on what tnc/modem that will work with my FT920. Thanks Jerry Jerry, most of the digital modes do not need a TNC/modem in the traditional hardware sense. They use software and your computer's soundcard. A hardware TNC is still used to some degree for PACTOR, RTTY, and Packet but even for those modes there are software options. For your modern transceiver, all you will need is the ability to connect and interface your radio to your computer. Most people either buy or build their own interface , they vary in price and bells and whistles from the basic (but functional) http://www.g4zlp.co.uk/unified/YaesuCAT.shtml or http://home.att.net/~n8st/yaesu.html or the higher end http://www.microham.com/index1.html or http://www.tigertronics.com/ or http://www.usinterface.com/ or http://www.westmountainradio.com/RIGblaster.htm For software, the usual options are Winwarbler (PSK31 and RTTY), DM780 (lots of modes) , FL-DIGI (lots of modes, Windows or Linux) or Multipsk (lots of modes) all available free over the Internet and their authors frequent this list (plus have their own on-line support groups) Andy

[digitalradio] Name That Mode
Hello, Around 17.075 MHz I've heard a mode I can't identify. It appears to have an 8 tone coding scheme and is about 150 Hz wide. By ear there are around two tones per second. The decoders provided by Ham Tadio Deluxe are ineffective. What am I hearing? Thanks, Ed W2GHD
[digitalradio] Re: Name That Mode
I can't hear it here, but your description sounds a lot like JT65 ... a mode used a lot for EME.

[digitalradio] Re: Name That Mode
Hello Ed, Most likely JT65A as activity on 20 meters is generally centered around 14.076. This mode is part of WSJT's suite of modes. It excels at weak signal work using very brief message formats and 60 second xmit/rx sequences. See http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/ for details. 73, Bill N9DSJ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, lmeeny [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Around 17.075 MHz I've heard a mode I can't identify.
