[digitalradio] Re: Which Digi Program ??
Some redundant opinions here ... If you are a Windows user, HRD and DM780 are simply twelve kinds of wonderful. Too many features? Don't use the ones you don't need. Simon designed the interface is so that features you do not use are not in your face. I had HRD/DM780 up and running in 30 minutes, as my first digital solution, using only the instructions that came with the program, plus a couple of tips I picked up from folks on qrz.com and hamnet. The HRD program is big enough to grow with you, should you decide to get into automating your rotators, support your logging / contesting needs, etc., etc. With the recent additions of RSID and a pskreporter interface, it just keeps getting better. Unlike certain other unnamed programs, the program actually has an intuitive, even attractive interface. (Yes, I am a closet Simon-worshiper ... we're not worthy ... we're not worthy ... hihi ). Plus I LOVE the idea of setting up one PC to drive my radio, then using other PC's around the house to connect to the radio-connected HRD server over my local net ... I can actually do digital QSO's from my laptop in the living room while watching a movie with the family. If you are a Linux user, then fldigi is your friend. For simple operations, you can't beat it. You can use fldigi on windows, too! I use fldigi regularly (several times a week), though I am about to migrate back to HRD again, as it is also an awesome tool for SWL and obscure band signal hunting (using the scanning features). You can also try the various Puppy or other Live CD Linux distributions that boot from the CD-ROM as a means of trying out Linux and fldigi, though I prefer my Ubuntu or Fedora boxes for Linux operations. You can even set up a thumb drive to hold your OS and your ham applications. The cool thing about so many choices is that you can actually try all or nearly all of them and see which ones work for you, once you have your hardware interfaces set up.

[digitalradio] portable HF digital in the radio Re: Haiti a test for emcomms
The point I was trying to make previously, is: Especially for Emcomm teams that need to fly, boat, or walk into a disaster zone... or simply find themselves in one due to being at the wrong place at the right time... It is so much better to have as few external devices and cabling attached to the radio as possible. Any digital mode for text and messaging that can be built into a radio, would be beneficial... less things to worry about maintaining in an Emcomm situation... We should be asking the manufacturers for these kinds of radios. Some hams have made boxes that contain all their portable station in one waterproof enclosure. This is in essence a good concept, but it falls short of what a good manpack radio would do that has a built-in digital mode. When faced with the weight and bulk minimization requirements to get into a helicopter, light plane, or small inflatable boat at a disaster scene... the bulky and heavy portable radio boxes may be rejected. In a disaster, you may be forced into a ONE BAG limit to enter these vehicles. You will need to carry everything in it that you need to communicate and survive and to benefit others in a positive way at your destination. Ask yourself if you can do that... and look at your gear load and your equipment with that viewpoint. A good strategy for Emcomm responders, is to be able to instantly pare down to minimum gear when forced to go lightweight. Everything in a single backpack. One that you are able to comfortably carry yourself for 2 miles. The main things that hams experience failure with in the field for portable and pedestrian mobile operation are the connectors and cables. Take a close look at the connectors on a notebook computer, netbook, or smart phone. These miniature connectors and cables are not rugged. They are a potential point of failure for Emcomm field work. Avoid them or find some way to set up your system so that they won't be damaged so easily when someone carrying a load at the disaster scene bumps into your setup. Bonnie KQ6XA
[digitalradio] portable HF digital in the radio Re: Haiti a test for emcomms
Well of course you could if you have enough extra power to keep it charged. Then you could also run the Airmail software too. My notebook charges at 20v at 3.2A which probably means it is drawing 100W continuously while charging. I imagine a netbook charger is about the same. When I use the FT-817 from solar/gel cell charging the notebook as well proves too much and drains the cell too quickly hence the reason for the WP-2. 73 K7TMG --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, aa777888athotmaildotcom aa777...@... wrote: This sounds fairly complex.

Look at Part 97.221. This 500 hertz va 1600 hertz bandwidth thing is an automatic control (unattended - 500 hertz) or attended 1600 question.

[digitalradio] Re: MT 63 question
Yep, I was aware of the 97.221 limit of 500 Hz for automatic operation. Also, I was aware of 97.305 that specifies 300 baud below 28 MHz. 1200 baud appears to be OK for 10 meters. Of course, that is the paragraph that has the confusing thing about 1000 HZ RTTY shift specification. By that I would guess that bandwidths up to at least 1000Hz should be legal. The confusing part is the 500 Hz thing in 97.3(c)(2) that does not appear to be referring to automatic operation. Am I missing something that mentions 1600 Hz bandwidth or is that a theoretical 300 baud, 1000 Hz shift RTTY bandwidth?
