[digitalradio] 8 ohm or 600 ohm audio transformer?

2009-01-04 Thread doug_tara2005
Hi,

  I've been experimenting with various audio interface(s) from my radio 
to my sound card.  Some suggest using 8 ohm transformers and some 
suggest using 600 ohm transformer.  I'm confused as to why would they 
suggest using a 600 ohm transformer.  The audio output from radios are 
8 ohm.  The audio output from sound cards are also 8 ohms.  Why would I 
use a 600 ohm transformer?

  Right now I built the interface by KD5ZUG with 600 ohm transformer 
and it seems to be working correctly, but I'm wondering if it could be 
better.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the RX audio level is too high. Can you reduce the level?

Looks like they did pretty much the minimum necessary to keep the thing
working and support radios that have been released in the past few
years.

There's a history.txt file in the distro:


MixW 2.19
- Rx window highlights URLs like http://site.net or mailto:m...@server.com
  and posts according system request on doubleclick
- files Custom1.dat and Custom2.dat contain a list of log fields for 
the corresponding log layout. Each of these files looks like 
this:
8<--- Custom1.dat ---
1 MODE
2 FQRX
3 FQTX
4 DATE
5 TIME
6 CALL
7 RSTSNT
;8 EXCHSNT
9 RSTRCV
;10 EXCHRCV
14 DOM
11 NAME
12 QTH
;15 COUNTY
16 IOTA
17 MGR
13 NOTES
;18 ENDDATE
;19 ENDTIME
20 LOC
8<-- end of file 
Lines which begin with ";" are ignored, so fields EXCHSNT, 
EXCHRCV, COUNTY, ENDDATE, and ENDTIME are absent in this 
example. You may change the order of lines (and according 
columns) but do not change the numbering, i.e. CALL should 
always have 6 at the beginning.
- The following CAT systems are added:
  - Yaesu FT-2000, FT-950, FT-9000D, FT-450, FT-1011
  - Kenwood TS-2000, TS-480
  - Ten-Tec RX-350, OMNI-VII, ORION-II
- Rotor control added for  FT-2000, RC2800, WINROTOR
- Added support for upcoming FSK441m and JT6x modes
- ADIF SRX_STRING tag is added
- Up to 25 lines in the log bar
- Interface Setup Wizard (See the Configure menu) will help
setting up MixW to operate with RigExpert interfaces
(Plus, Standard or Tiny models)
- "MixW2 /setup" command line option will also start the Wizard
- New macros:
   - allows working with different
transverters
   - writes WAVe file from the second input channel
   - lists connected RigExpert interfaces
- Hungarian language file is added

[digitalradio] MF Tele Type 3.0 Beta released

2009-01-04 Thread Norbert Pieper
Hi,

the MF Tele Type 3.0 Beta is released!
It took me 3 weeks of hard work to implement essential features.
Now it should be much easier to operate MFTT on any bands in SSB mode.

Here the News:
- Reduced CPU load at lower speeds

- Bandwidth of Tone-Matrix reduced (no longer compatible with V2.0 or 
lower)

- FFT Spectrum Display added 

- sending of Center-Frequency-Pilot-Tone added to ease initial tuning 
and detection of speed. Just select the Pilot tone in the FFT Display 
by "Click and Drag" (see screen shot of MFTTy home page)

- Two AFC Functions added: "Pilot-Tone-AFC" and "Regular-Signal-AFC"

- Tune-Meter Display added 

- Two Buttons added: "<"  and  ">"  for manual fine tuning.

- Option added for changing "Tx Center Frequency" 

Feel free to download from MFTTy home page 
http://www.polar-electric.com/MFTT/

Your improvement suggestions and feedback about bugs is welcome.
