Re: [digitalradio] What's new in SSTV ?

2010-01-16 Thread phil williams
I downloaded Easypal this afternoon.  I have been listening on 14.233
MHz and have managed to capture number of images that were sent by other
stations.

In terms of setting TX audio levels, any suggestions?  I take it that
the transmitted signal is wide, so the Tx power output will appear
artificially low.  Am I coming to the right conclusion here?

FYI, there's a group of Hams that do EasyPal almost every day on 7.173 
MHz LSB.  The quality of the pictures that are sent is amazing.  Just 
like sending a Jpeg file over the internet.

Phil, keep your Easypal signal the way you do other digital modes...  no ALC
and make sure you are not over driving...

[digitalradio] Can not open CAT port (COM1)

2010-01-16 Thread kc4cop
I can not open CAT port (COM1) using any of my communications programs with my 
FT-1000D. 12 hours ago everything was working fine.  I am not aware of any 
changes made with my computer or radio.  I unplugged and reconnected every 
cable going to the FT-1000D, my SignaLink SL-1+ soundcard interface, and my 
computer.  I unplugged the cable, at the computer end, going from my cable 
modem to the computer computer network card.  I left this cable unconnected.  
The radio is in the VFO mode.  Serial port settings: COM1, 4800 baud, 8 data 
bits, parity none, stop bits 2, RTS always on, DTR always off.  All possible 
combinations of RTS and DTR have been tried.

Disconnecting the serial cable at the computer end gives the same serial port 
error messages.

The error message that I am getting from the MixW program is: cannot open CAT 
board (COM1)  -  this port does not exist or it is already used by another 
program.  In MixW, the error message includes CAT will be disabled.  The 
error message in Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) is a bit more informative: FT-1000D, 
COM1, 4800, Access is Denied - make sure your radio is switched on and not in 
memory mode  HRD's troubleshooting suggestions concerning a USB connection 
are not pertinent as the SignaLink does not use a USB connection.

I have disabled all programs from booting using MSCONFIG - and disabled my 
antivirus and uninstalled my firewall program.
2.  No programs are shown to be running in task manager.
3.  In device manager COM1 (serial port 1) is enabled and is reported by 
device manager to be working correctly.  The IRQ is 4
4.  When I check Serial Port 1 located in the onboard devices section of 
the BIOS, the setting reads: AUTO, which is the factory default setting.

The possible settings for serial Port 1 include: AUTO, OFF, COM1, COM3
5.  The computer has been disconnected from the Web by removing the cable that 
runs between my network card and cable modem.
6.  The LPT (parallel port 1) is called and is set for the factory default 
setting of: PS/2.  The IO address for the integrated parallel port is set for 
378h - which is the factory default setting.

Switching to a command prompt and entering: echo atdtcom1 returns the error 
message access denied

I am using a Dell Optiplex desktop computer with a Pentium 4 processor; 3.3 
GHz; 3 GB; CHKDSK has been run several times - in none of the times has any 
error been found. 

As you can see, I am in a loss.  I would appreciate any help.

Re: [digitalradio] Can not open CAT port (COM1)

2010-01-16 Thread Russell Hltn
1) do a power-off reboot.
2) check for any programs/services that might try to grab a serial port.
Frequent ofenders are Palm active sync, or a old UPS managment program.

I'm taking the error message at face value.  Either COM1 isn't there or some
other program has claimed it.  Maybe another instance of your control
program.
