[digitalradio] Generator Interference
Hello All, I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We are getting ready for a 4 county mass causality exercise. 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? TNX 73, Dave N0EOP 31033
[digitalradio] NAQP Sprint RTTY Question
Why were there so many stations with the name Marc from CA? If you call CQ and someone works you, then you must QSY. Right? Sure were a lot of stations running a frequency on 40 meters. TNX 73, Dave N0EOP 31033
RE: [digitalradio] Anyone need a $6.50 soundcard ?
Andy, If you have one left I would be interested.

I am about to order a USB external sound adapter for US$6.50. The shipping however is $8.00 , more than the product itself ! So, perhaps I should order several of them and just mail them to others than want one. They apparently weigh 4oz, sticking one in the US mail should cost a couple of dollars, not 8.00 (a guess) I have seen a couple of well known hams use these for digital modes. Anyone else want one ?

Let's see existing tnc. Free software. Once setup and configured almost any ham can use it. What is the catch? Other than it is slower than the Internet or Winlink on HF. TNX 73, Dave N0EOP
RE: [digitalradio] Anyone using the Navigator by US Interface?
Roger, I told Tom what you said and he said he would try it. I will try to find out today if that worked or not. Tom is 80 years old and takes care of his wife who is having a problem with Alzheimer's. So, some days he gets a lot of things done and other days he is unable to do much.

RE: [digitalradio] Anyone using the Navigator by US Interface?
Hi Roger, He worked with Glenn yesterday and Glenn is gone for the week-end. Of course he doesn't want to wait. He says the interface shows he is keying and the radio shows it is keying. But, he is getting nothing out. I told him to try raising his ALC some and to also check the cable. It looks like he must be getting the PTT but, no data into the radio. I have a different radio and use my soundcard. So, I'm not all that much help to him. Tom has psk working with his Winpsk.

TNX 73, Dave N0EOP It is slightly tricky to set up, but once you get it set up it works wonderfully, and in a trouble-free fashion. If your friend has trouble have him contact Glenn at US Interface support, and he'll have it squared away quickly. de Roger W6VZV

[digitalradio] FT-920 Setup for RTTY ???
Hello, When using the data din plug in the back I have no problem with PSK. But, RTTY is being a little more difficult to setup. On the radio does everyone use Data USB for all bands? In your software program do you set it for AFSK or FSK? USB or LSB? Do you use a Mark offset and if so how much? I have the settings in MTTY set to the same as a friend who also has the FT-920 and RTTY is working great for him. The only question I have about these settings is the Misc, Soundcard Device ID setting. I haven't tried other setting that what by friend uses. Could this be where the problem is? I am using the DXLab program WinWarbler. I have to check the Reverse to be able to receive. The program controls the transmitter without any problem but I can't seem to make any contacts. Anyone have any ideas on what I should try next? THANKS, Dave N0EOP

Usually, LSB is used for RTTY and USB for all other digital modes. Ssince you have your radio set for Data USB , I assume this is why you have to used reverse to receive RTTY. I can't comment about FSK versus AFSK since I am not familar with your radio. For my radio, I have Windwarbler set for AFSK, LSB. Hi Andrew, Your comments make since. So RTTY normally uses LSB, while PSK uses USB? What do you have the xvr mode set too? Do you have any mark offset? Is your Optimal Offset 2210? So far I really like the DXLabs suite. Which of the programs do you use? What do you find the most useful? TNX 73, Dave N0EOP
RE: [digitalradio] FT-920 Setup for RTTY ???
Thanks for all of the assistance. I went back and reread the FT-920 manual (novel idea)! When you use the data plug on the back of the FT-920 you set the mode to data USB for both PSK and for RTTY. Then through the menu you have to change the factory default for the shift for the AFSK. This actually causes the radio to use LSB for RTTY like everyone was saying. But the display panel shows data USB. Then I went in and set the WinWarbler config for RRTY to AFSK USB RTTY no Mark Offset and the default value of 2210 for the Optimal Offset. I called CQ 3 times and V44JK responded. So, again THANKS for all of the ideas. Even though no one knew for sure since no one had the same exact setup and WinWarbler, all of your ideas got me to thinking in the right directions. TNX 73, Dave N0EOP
RE: [digitalradio] Re: Souncard in PSKMAIL or fldigi?
Jerry, I don't know how you are getting away with having the sliders all of the way at the top. That overdrives my FT920 (using a rascal interface). Everything I have read says to keep the sliders somewhere towards the bottom to prevent overdriving your transmitter. 73, Dave N0EOP -Original Message- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerry W Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2007 4:24 PM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: [digitalradio] Re: Souncard in PSKMAIL or fldigi? Andy, Find the sound mixer, click on the speaker icon. Most likely the Line Input slider is all the way at the bottom and maybe turned off. Click on the red led and then raise the slider, find that most ham programs need the slider all the way at the top. HTH, Jerry - K0HZI

RE: [digitalradio] Re: FT990 and PSK
Not sure what your problem would be. I have a FT920, Rascal Interface, SB sound card, P 4 computer running XP. With a WinPSK program and it works great for me. I have the FT920 in data usb mode and take the output from the data din plug in the back. Good luck, Dave N0EOP -Original Message- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew O'Brien Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 2:58 AM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: [digitalradio] Re: FT990 and PSK --- In digitalradio@ mailto:digitalradio%40yahoogroups.com yahoogroups.com, tm303 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm using the microHam USB II with the 990 and I can't get it to work on PSK. I've tried Logger32, MMVARI, and N1MM programs to no avail. I was told by Joe at microHam to use the 990 in the Packet position but the freq goes down below 14.000 on 20 meters. I can't hear any PSK on an external receiver when I transmit above 14.000. I can't receive any signals either. Everything works fine with MMTY and EDFSK. Just no luck with PSK. Any suggestions? This is very odd. If your rig goes in to transmit mode when your execute a transmit command, I assume that your USB II is working correctly. Does the USB II use the same device router that other Microham products use? If so, does it use the same audio switching ? With my Microkeyer I somtimes have not audio out because I selected the wrong audio out via the device router. This would not effect receive though. Can you receive PSK without the USB II? In other words disconnect it and just run an audio cable from rig to PC soundcard, does PSK31 decode then ? Andy K3UK
