Re: [digitalradio] Wider digital modes with SignaLink USB

2008-11-19 Thread Russell Hltn
Have you considered building an audio link so you can can take the
radios and any possible phase jitter they may introduce out of the
equation?

 Have any of you that use the SL-USB and also use these wide bandwidth
 modes and noticed that you have what appears to be lower than expected
 throughput? Can you compare to any other interface/rig combination? Have
 you looked at the constellations of these two programs through several
 interfaces?

Here is my personal experience comparing Multipsk and DM-780 in 
Olivia 500/16:

DM-780 needs significant more time for synchronizing than Multipsk 
(the first 2 or even 3 or 4 letters of a call are not decoded in DM-
780). I haven't seen any better decoding by DM-780 under S/N figures 
down to -10 / -11 dB.

Andy...

I can help out Mon, Tue, and Wed of next week during the day. Also the week of 
15 December, 22 December and 29 December... Please advise as to times and 
frequencies you wish to use...

I use OLIVIA 1000hz/32 tones for a MARS digital net I run and we have found it 
to be very good in weak signal conditions...

I'm using DM780 here... I'm running a G5RV that works well on 80, 75 and 40 
meters...

Andy,

I can test all software packages any weekday during the mid-day hours 
or weekends.

[digitalradio] PK-232/DSP manual?

2008-11-19 Thread shadle
Hi,
I just recently purchased a used PK-232/DSP and was wondering if
anyone has a manual (with information about the latest firmware ver.
7.2) of this device.

Also, are there equivalent alternatives to the costly CSS terminal
software? I can't remember the last time I paid $99 for a software
program!

Thanks!

How are you going to make sense of the variety of MIPS performance
across different testers, or are you just looking for trends.  A is
faster here than B, etc?

I run all but DM780--it doesnt like Win2K and my soundcard/machine
configuration.  Currently running Fldigi--Win, not Linux.

MIPS shouldn't have any effect as long as the CPU doesn't run at 100%.

Olivia likes a calibrated soundcard.

Maybe there would be interest in what some of us sometimes monitor for 
the NBEMS frequencies of 3584, 7067, 10136, 14074, all with + 1500 Hz 
audio center.

If you have a known frequency, you can even print stations that would 
otherwise never be copied in the noise.

Sooo. a 500Mhhz machine running at 20% is going to perform the
integrations and decoding same delay as a 2 Ghz machine running at 20%??  

That seems counter intuitive to me..

I'm sure you're right but I don't understand how that can be.

I thought the load information talked about resources not speed of
execution.

Help me understand..
