Re: [digitalradio] Psk Mail Help someone!!
Hi Alan, Please join the pskmail mailing list, much better signal/noise ratio there ;-). Its at http://www.freelists.org/list/pskmail I cannot be certain what your problem is but please make sure you are using 10.148 as center frequency, that could mean 10.147 and usb on the dial and 1000 Hz cursor/offset in fldigi. That way the psk will land on 10.148 and most servers use sharp filters so frequency setting is very important. Most servers use PSK250 now but have a look at the wiki where servers list how they are working: http://pskmail.wikispaces.com 73 de Per, sm0rwo From: Alan Wilson ke4...@gmail.com To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, April 3, 2009 1:39:44 AM Subject: [digitalradio] Psk Mail Help someone!! Hi, and tnx fer reading this. I got linux puppy live cd up and going with PSKMail. I have Fldigi configured, now how do I do pskmail? I've been listening 10.148 and heard some sigs, couldn't decode them. Could someone please take me by the hand and help me get this going. I believe the concept is good and we need a few us hams to try it...73, Alan (Victor, MT USA DN26wj)
Re: [digitalradio] USB Headset, Convert for Digital Modes
Kevin, The DSP side of these things is often rotten - really rotten! the TS-480SAT is an excellent radio and deserves much better :) Simon Brown, HB9DRV www.ham-radio-deluxe.com - Original Message - From: Gmail - Kevin, Natalia, Stacey Rochelle I have a USB audio headset (mic/speakers). The audio quality from it seems to be good. I do not use them that much anymore, so was thinking of maybe getting into them and converting them to use with my TS-480's digital socket. I think it will be simple enough to get into them and convert to the mini-plug for the radio.

Thanks Simon, Will not proceed with it then. BTW, must go and check for an update on HRD, my main control and Digital software.

Re: [digitalradio] USB Headset, Convert for Digital Modes
FWIW been seeing ZL3RG on 30m PSK this morning. IMO - the TS-480SAT is the best digital mode radio you can buy :) Simon Brown, HB9DRV www.ham-radio-deluxe.com - Original Message - From: Gmail - Kevin, Natalia, Stacey Rochelle BTW, must go and check for an update on HRD, my main control and Digital software.
RE: [digitalradio] USB Headset, Convert for Digital Modes
I have a couple of headsets with separate USB sound card emulators. They do work with MULTIPSK, Mix-W, FLDIGI and IZ8BLY's MT-63. Have not done comparison tests, but I do use one simultaneous with a Realtek sound card for montitoring different radios and modes with one computer.

[digitalradio] Rigblaster Duo
Anyone have experience using the new Rigblaster Duo? I will be connecting an old Kenwood TS-820S and Yaesu FT897D
[digitalradio] Re: Newbie question
Ok, I'll download those, and see what happens. Had a lot of fun last evening monitoring SSTV on 20 meters. Haven't made a QSO yet, and just getting familiar with DM780 software for SSTV. Not truly digital, but... Thanks! /paul W3FIS
[digitalradio] Fw: [InHam] Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), ET Docket 09-36
Hi All, I read the article about the medical device using UHF, it said that there would be extra precautions taken to reject unwanted signals from outside sources. Thats all fine good, if it works. My concern is what happens when a patient who has this technology installed in his/her body is exposed to a strong UHF signal something goes wrong? I would not want to key up have some body start having uncontollable involuntary movement /or the lack of proper movement of a limb that could cause them to have an accident that results in injury /or death. I am not so worried about interferrence from a device like this, because the power level would be so low. They are probably using somesort of digital mode anyway I don't think that it would be on all the time. I am glad that they are working on ways to help people that have physical problems. But this is something that we should keep an eye on. Anytime anyone wants to use any of our bands for a non amateur radio purpose is always cause for concern.

RE: [digitalradio] Rigblaster Duo
Thanks Mike - I asked West Mountain to address the concerns expressed by others on the e-Ham website equipment reviews. West Mountain has been VERY good with sending me information, addressing the specific concerns mentioned on e-Ham and giving me specifics on the TS-820S connection. They did mention being cautious about connecting the isolated CW output into the Ts820S. They are concerned about the negative voltage (-65volts) keying on the old Kenwood . they said it may exceed the optical isolator capability. So I was hoping that another user might have plugged in another Kenwood 820 into the Duo. Do you know if your 850 or 870 has negative voltage keying?

[digitalradio] Weekend ALE400 network test April 4; All welcome
If you hear a few strange noises on the HF this weekend, it may be the ALE400 tests. I am an old ALE MIL-STD 141 fan but some people that the narrower version of ALE, ALE400 , in Multipsk may do some things better. So I am encouraging people with Multipsk to give ALE400 a try. Here is the message that went to the aleradio and multipsk Yahoogroups Here is my suggestion for a weekend ALE400 Network development test. As many people as possible scan and sound during the following times stating UTC 4 April -0200 UTC 0600-0800 UTC 1200-1400 UTC 1800-2000 UTC -0200 April 5 If you can only scan and sound for a part of the above times, that would be OK. I would encourage 15 second soundings , no more than twice per hour per band Perhaps Europe could sound close to the top of the hour and North America towards the bottom of the hour. Other parts of the world around 15 or 45 from the hour. Listen first, pause if frequency busy! I will suggest 3589.0, 7037.5, 10141.5, 14074.0, 14094.0, 18104.5 as the frequencies , 1625 as the center (so people do not have to change software to other center frequency). You will need to get in to the OPTIONS area of ALE within Multipsk to enter in the 3589.0, 7037.5, 10141.5, 14074.0, 14094.0, 18104.5 in place of the other ALE frequencies. Comments ? Andy K3UK
Re: [digitalradio] Rigblaster Duo
Good Question! I'll have to check the manuals. FWIW, I have used the DUO for CW on both radios and FSK on the 870.
