Re: [digitalradio] Generator Interference
What methods did you use to test for the generator interference? Can you give any specs on the generator such as a trailer-ed unit. When was last maintenance done to the generator, and what? I suspect that you have a faulty plug or a bad shield somewhere in the unit. I would also suspect that when the D-Rat is connected to battery or other stable power source there is no known problems. I am curious though to hear more on this as we have been discussing a D-STAR/RAT, but have wondered about the pitfalls and the ability to fix them in the field much like legacy systems!

This last Saturday we were doing some training, antenna work, and testing at the EOC. One of the tests involved was deploying our mobile command post about 30 miles out into the county. We were able to work 2 meter voice simplex without any problem. However, digital wasn't a good. We were using D-Rats and we could see the other stations without any problem. But, when we tried to send a message it would fail. The generator was causing some sort of hash to be generated and it was causing the digital to fail when passing a message. We could go keyboard to keyboard without any problems. What sort of suppression kit could we install on the generator to eliminate the interference?

Re: [digitalradio] Is there a convention for stereo phone plugs?
Tip is generally left side audio so as to conform and work when placed in a mono jack. ring is right and body is ground. As for a convention, not sure I know they have them for Trekkies, that is one stereotype! Have a nice weekend and hope that helps.

Re: [digitalradio] City attempts to shut down ham radio .... !!
my take on the video was a couple middle aged hippies in an RV bitching about the county wishing to regulate the antenna height, but never said anything of real value other then a rant. The woman seemed to make a great stoned parrot though! I too am not a fan of youtube so I dont allow it on my personal system as it is blocked, but from the library I dont mind, I dont have to clean up the cookies and other junk!

Re: [digitalradio] Peek-a-boo sound devices
I had simmilar issues and found that I need to power down and reboot if I wish to swap out USB devices. When hot swaped it gave me hell. Now I make a point to make connections on USB devices with system off so it auto detects and remains with proper settings of my desire.

This works well except that every know and again ham applications that have been working well via the internal sound device all of a sudden have their settings switched and the sound for transmission gets sent to my speakers rather than to the rig. I can't figure out what triggers this? Sometimes Multipsk, Winwarbler, and WSJT, just tell me that USB AUDIO is set for my transmitted audio even though I had manually set it for the other device. It seems that is connected with changes I may make, like unplugging and then plugging in the USB speakers if I need to borrow the USB ports for something else for a few minutes. I have missed few QSOs when caught by surprise with the wrong xmit card. Ideas ?
Re: [digitalradio] Sound Cards
I use an external soundcard the Creative labs Soundblaster X-fi is a very good unit. many hams are claiming that the Sound Blaster is the best out there for digi modes, and I have to agree. It works very well. On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 7:58 AM, lsumners lsumn...@yahoo.com wrote: I am looking at upgrading my Dell on board sound card. Any suggestions for digital radio?
