I think there are several issues at play here. On one hand are the proponents of mode x, who think it's the best mode, and will argue its superiority in the face of any logic or reason. That's a technology thing. It's no different than PC vs Mac, Icom vs Yaesu vs Kenwood vs Orion vs Ten Tec, etc. When it comes to Winlink 2000 and ALE the main issue, at least with me, is that modes dehumanize Amateur Radio. ALE and email are the two technologies most directly related to the elimination of human radio operators in commercial communications. That's what they were designed to do. Many amateurs are ex-commercial radio operators and have every right to despise these modes. Take the idea of emergency communications in amateur radio. This started because hams had the capability and skill to provide communications, so it was natural to help out in times of need. But a new school of people only interested in emergency communications, wanting to use HF radio and not interested in learning the skills required of a good operator, turn to Winlink 2000 and ALE. Winlink 2000 and ALE are a cancer to amateur radio. They are evil because they represent machines talking to machines, and we have too much of that in this world already. If amateur radio is not about people talking to people, then what are we in this for? Most hams I know don't really have a beef with digital modes as long as they are used to hold a QSO between human operators. It's when the mode supports machine to machine communications that people get mad. Just my opinion, but I think digital modes will get a better reputation if we successfully communicate what they are really good for. For example: with my antenna and power restrictions I am only able to communicate with other hams at all via digital modes. For me, they are the Great Equalizer.

The interfering waveforms that each modulation format sees are identical to the modulation format under consideration. The four types of modulation are QPSK, 8-PSK, 16QASK, and QPR.

This function has become a feature in multi-effects boxes for electronic music instruments, recording, and live sound processing. It is done by changing the rescan rate of digitized audio, and some other syncro tricks, and the effect is most recently accomplished in real time with a good DSP engine (or several). The technique for audio timescale pitch modification is used in voice commercials (spots), usually the legal fine print disclaimer heard very fast at the end of the spot. The voice is sped up, but the pitch is then adjusted back lower to the original speed. In my recording studio, I have a DSP multi-effects rack-mount device (with 3 DSP engines in it) that has a pitch change feature, selectable as one of the many presets, and various parameters can be adjusted with a menu, such as octave, percent, or relative pitch change up/down.

What frequency is my signal when I am using [insert mode here]? is the subject of at least one license exam question in US Amateur Radio tests. In the US, government agencies and the military specify frequency by the center of emission. For example, in military 3581 would for LSB voice (nominally of 3 KHz BW) require a carrier (dial) setting) of 3582.5 KHz. Digital modes, especially sound card modes,should be addressed in a similar manner, and with some of care. A dial setting of 3580 KHz, with operation in USB mode, would require a waterfall operating frequency of 1,000 Hz. There are reasons to use a lower carrier frequency and a higher waterfall; 3588 and a 2,000 Hz waterfall choice would reduce any radiation of harmonics of the audio input. Overdriving an audio stage does not produce an ALC reading, but it can add significant harmonics to the signal actually transmitted. Keeping audio sent to a rig to the lowest practical level consistent with SNR (where the noise is hum, hiss and the like) we reduce harmonics, but it's worth keeping an eye out for. If you want your net on 3581, you'll need to specify as above; 3580 USB 1 KHz waterfall, or 3589 USB 2 KHz waterfall both produce a PSK signal at 3581 KHz.

I can hear the same audio program material on 11750kHz and several other freqs. During short pauses in the music, I can also hear some background audio bleedover of news and commentary in Mandarin Chinese language... Likely a Chinese transmitter that is co-located at a multi-transmitter shortwave broadcast site. 73 Bonnie VR2/KQ6XA --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Walt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Am I the only one hearing an AM broadcaster on 14.070 right now ?

Re: [digitalradio] Chinese Transmitter Re: broadcast music on 14.070
cool. I don't have any satellite capability, and don't have line of sight from SE Alabama anyway. at least, my last sentence is still correct!! - Original Message - From: expeditionradio [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, June 06, 2008 12:27 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Chinese Transmitter Re: broadcast music on 14.070 Actually, Brent, the source of the jamming music audio feed that directly drives the transmitter is satellite audio, the right channel of a stereo satellite downlink 4GHz source. The left channel carries other programming on it in Mandarin and other Chinese dialects. There may be 60 to 80dB of separation, but it is easy to hear that far down when the signal is so strong here. If you have a large dish, or are within the footprint of the Chinasat satellite, you can pick up the jamming audio that feeds the jamming transmitters. I've attached the satellite information below. 73 Bonnie VR2/KQ6XA China National Radio and the Firedrake audio feeds are available via Chinasat 6B.

Re: [digitalradio] Interfacing a PK-232 to IC-746 (non-Pro)
I used to do FSK with an IC-740 through the molex on the back panel. Must have done something like that. The correct pin pulls the xmit freq the correct shift. Don't remember which, and don't have the book here at the office. KE4MZ, Brent Dothan, AL [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.wb4zpi.org No trees were destroyed in the sending of this contaminant-free message.

The 746 manual calls pin 1 of ACC 1 RTTY and states it Controls RTTY Keying. Since there are no other obvious choices, this seems correct, but want to get some verification before I wire it up.

Re: [digitalradio] Odd PC Issue
Here's an article on ms that explains svchost.

Go to your task manager and control panel services and kill/stop all un-needed programs/services and see if the problem goes away. 73, Walt/K5YFW This is an old doubtwhat does SVCHOST do?
