In Fldigi, right-click in the text window and select "send image".

I haven't found the way to send MFSK16 images with Fldigi or DM780. I'm sure 
both programs are capable, it's just a matter of finding the right buttons ;  )

Patrick, 

Thanks for taking the time to send the MFSK picture docs. I happened to have 
your program running with Mixw and was surprised when the picture window popped 
open! Didn't know Multipsk had that feature.  

Thanks,

Hello Tony,

With Multipsk, you can RX/TX "MFSK16" pictures (which are SSTV pictures in fact 
(and not digital pictures), they are simply compatible with the MFSK16 
bandwidth). But dimensions of the picture are free.

Here is shown how to use this mode:

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Fldigi RSID

2009-05-08 Thread Tony
Rick,

Multipsk has the RSID button up front while Fldigi requires two steps to 
turn it off. Not bad once you've done it a few times.

A CQ/RSID macro should work well. There would be no need to turn it on or 
off then.

[digitalradio] Special Event Station W8H - Dayton Hamvention

2009-05-08 Thread Louis Wulfekuhler
Good day to everyone!

Many already know, but I wanted to announce to the group that the Feld Hell 
Club is sponsoring a Special Event Station during the Dayton Hamvention this 
year.

W8H will be on the air using Feld Hell, from 1030 UTC Friday May 15th through 
1800 Sunday May 17th. There is a Feld Hell Club Sprint (contest) on Saturday 
the 16th.  Everyone is encouraged to participate! Please see the following web 
sites for information:

www.feldhellclub-W8H.webs.com -> listing info on W8H

www.feldhellclub.org -> general FH info & contest rules, etc.

We will be operational on 30 meters during May 15 - 17th, so if you have not 
worked Hellschreiber before or very often, now is your chance to have some fun 
with it. Also, I am 30MDG #252, so those of you who work me will have another 
mode completed for the 30 Meter Digital Group awards! You can see where we are 
operating (80 - 15 meters) using the spotting web site: www.hamspots.net under 
the toggle for hellschreiber.

If you are going to Dayton, please drop by station W8H which is located in the 
center of row #5 in the east flea-market. Sign the guest list and operate 
Special Event Station W8H if you'd like! Hope to see many of you there!

Good DX and blue skies!

Lou, W8LEW

2009-05-08 Thread aa777888athotmaildotcom
That's a good idea, Rick. I would like to see that as well. Split the RSID 
button up at the top of fldigi into two buttons: TX RSID and RX RSID. It would 
be nice to have an enable button for Video ID up there as well. I use Video ID 
of mode for CQ a lot. Typically I leave TX RSID turned on but leave the 
configuration window open to the ID tab so that I can turn off Video ID when 
someone answers my CQ.

Is it possible that one of the needed features to use RSID would be that 
it could be easily turned on and off for transmitting as it is for 
receiving? Otherwise you have to go in to several layers of menus to 
turn it off once you make the contact. If it stays on, it takes time at 
the beginning of each transmission to send the RSID data burst and I 
doubt that many would want that overhead.

It is used less than I thought it would be but when added to MixW and
DM780 it should be more common.  Both Nick and Simon have expressed
interest in the issue.  I hear RSID away from the PSK common
frequencies.

[digitalradio] Multimode Madness Hours May 10th 1300-1400 and 2100-2200 UTC

2009-05-08 Thread Andy obrien
Please Note:  The second hour has been changed to 2100 UTC by request.

There is now a limit of FOUR contacts with same
station (different modes)

Please submit your scores (see link below)


Date and time :  1300 to 1400 UTC and 2100-2200 UTC,  Each UTC Sunday

Modes:  Any digital modes EXCEPT  standard RTTY , PSK31, QPSK31 , and
CW.  See below for full details.

Exchange :  Callsign and RST

Bands :  Any authorized digital portions of 80, 40. 20, 15, or 10 are
allowed .  To foster more interaction, 14077 to 14080 and 7036-7038
are encouraged if allowed in your country.  Please avoid traditional
PSK31,   and ALE sounding frequencies.

Power :  100 watts and under .
Suggested CQ :  "CQ MMH" or "CQ Multimode Madness Hour"

Points:  5 points per QSO

Multipliers:  Modes worked.

Scoring:  Total QSO x modes worked

e.g  10 QSO  = 50 points x six different modes successfully worked  = 300 points

You may work each station once PER mode for a maximum of four contacts
with the same station

Other :  Use of RS-ID is encouraged but not required (RSID is
available within FLDIGI and Multipsk.  It may get added to DM780 and
Mixw in the near future)

Submit Scores to http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rtgm8kXVo0EppUcJjpTyFKw

* Modes with varying speeds,  or number of tones,  DO count as
 different modes   but "reverse" settings DO NOT.  Example, Olivia
 500/16 and 500/8 would count as two different modes but
 reverse/inverse MFSK16 or Olivia would not count.

[digitalradio] Fldigi RSID

2009-05-08 Thread Tony
All,

The RSID feature in Fldigi seems to work very well. It can be setup to 
search the entire pass band for incoming RSID's. Just remember to click the 
RSID button in the upper right-hand corner to activate it. The green light 
means it's armed and ready for RSID reception.

Fldigi will automatically switch to the mode that corresponds to the RSID 
being sent. For example: if the Tx station transmits CQ in MFSK32 mode with 
RSID, your software will automatically change to that mode providing you 
have the RSID activated and ready.

Very useful during Mode Madness Hour!
