[digitalradio] Re: 13 Pin DIN Male to 6-Pin Mini Din Female

[ed_hekman]

www.buxcomm.com has a lot of interface cables.  I wonder if they would consider 
adding this to their product line - or make custom order cables.

I built a set of cables from a pair of 8-pin mini-din cables.  I cut the cables 
in half and put 13-pin, 8-pin DIN and 5-pin DIN connectors on the cut ends.  
The only challenging one was the 13-pin for the TS-2000.  I used a crossover 
switch to switch from a Buxcomm sound card I/F and a DSP-2232 to a TS-2000 and 
an IC-735.  The additional RF pickup was a big challenge also.

[digitalradio] Re: Amazing ! Multispsk with SDR 48 Khz RS ID

[ed_hekman]

Very interesting, Andy.  I had not noticed the RX RS ID button on the SDR 
window or the RS ID configuration window.  

Patrick,

Is there a way to keep the RS ID window open while using the RX/TX screen?  Is 
there any other notification of the RS ID detection when using the RX/TX window?

The MultiDEM program looks very nice.  It has more functionality than the 
built-in SDR front-end but it doesn't appear to have the RS ID decoding option. 
 Is that a possible addition in the future?  Is there an advantage to the 
built-in SDR function such as latency, etc.?

I am still puzzled about the Global Level reported in the SDR screen.  Mine 
still shows 0.0% to 0.1% although the decoding seems to work fine and the 
receiver noise is visible on the waterfall.  The input levels on both computers 
are set to maximum.  I tried boosting the input with microphone preamps but it 
had no effect.  The sound card on one computer is a Soundblaster Live! 24 bit 
External and the other computer has an M-Audio Delta 66.  I noticed Andy's 
screen shows 10.8%.  It doesn't apear to be a problem but I am wondering what I 
am missing in the settings.

RE: [digitalradio] 13 Pin DIN Male to 6-Pin Mini Din Female

[David Little]

Tony,
 
Thanks for the suggestion.  I had considered the breakout box before,
but will be setting up a few station positions with more than one
digital interface, so wanted something that moved more toward industry
standardization using the 6 pin mini DIN.
 
Thanks Again,

[digitalradio] 13 Pin DIN Male to 6-Pin Mini Din Female

[David]

I am looking for a source to find adaptors to use with the TS-2000, IC-756 PRO, 
IC-706, IC-718, etc rigs to go from the full size DIN sockets to an industry 
standard 6 pin mini DIN male cable.

Anyone know of a source, or a lot better than me at soldering?  

These would allow a 6 pin Mini Din Switch box to be used to allow multiple 
digital interfaces to be used with most any current production rig.  

I have IC-756Pro, TS-2000, FT-857D, FT-817D and IC-718 rigs here, and buying 
specialty cables, plugging and unplugging is getting old.  

My digital rig (FT-817ND) has a PK232MBX, SignaLink USB ad KPC3+ connected to 
it via a 4 position switch box.  

It would be nice to add the same functionality to the other rigs.

Thanks,

David

[digitalradio] New software and demo files for LD-1 SDR

[Peter]

A new release of the LD-1 software with improved functionality and a streamlined
installation procedure is now available. Also, I've recorded some new demo
files which can be played back using Winrad or Rocky. It seems I'd been running
my sound card's Line-In gain way too high, saturating the input. The new
software and demos are all available at
www.lazydogengineering.com/LD1Downloads.htm. Details at www.garage-shoppe.com.
