[digitalradio] Re: New
Dan, Although the TH-F6A has a Packet modem, that is not all you need to operate APRS with that HT. You will also need a computer, laptop if operating portable or mobile connected to the TH-F6A, see page 45 of the operating manual for cables ect. Then you would need a TNC that would connect with the GPS unit or manually enter in lat - long locations though software (see UI-View: http://www.ui-view.org/) that the TNC can send to the TH-F6A. You may want to look for a used Kenwood TH-D7A/G that has APRS as one of the built in features. There is supposed to be a new Kenwood HT, Kenwood TH-D72? with built-in APRS and GPS, however no release date as to when the new HT will be available. You might watch the TH-D7 Yahoo group for more information: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Kenwood_TH-D7/ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Dan Walker wrote: Plan on orerating mobile have Kenwood TH-F6A and my Tom Tom is not the highend unit I thought it was.

[digitalradio] A little off topic, Sputnik, Mercury - Atlas
For all you "old timers" The 50th anniversary of Sputnik is coming up on October 6, 2007. There are a lot of posts on the web and blogs, one web site being: www.arrl.org about Sputnik. Copied Sputnik on my Hallcafters S-38 E just before I went to radio school at Keesler AFB. At Keesler they had a tracking antenna that was configured like a Yagi, it was laid out on the ground for satellite tracking. Does any know the HF frequency that was used by the first Mercury-Atlas missions? Was working at KSTP Television as a radio dispatcher for news and photo crews on the first few Mercury-Atlas missions. One of the engineers found the frequency and went to the engineering lab to listen. Then the second Mercury mission copied the down link some where on HF with my Hallcafters SX-99 receiver.

pcooke2002, Try this site: http://home.teleport.com/~nb6z/about.htm A lot of those modes are not used very much. PSK31, RTTY and Olivia are being used quite often. The most "popular" mode is PSK31, I call it "point and click QSO".It uses the sound card to decode and transmit very narrow audio tones. Easy software to set up PSK31 is: http://www.digipan.net/ On HT's yes as one needs access to the PTT function for one and maybe making your own audio cables. The Kenwood TH-D7A[G] has a built in TNC and it is limited, but with a Terminal program in the "KISS" mode it can be used as a Packet transceiver and also has built in APRS mode.

[digitalradio] Re: video noise
Brent, ARRL has some information on RFI/EMI, in fact they have a handbook for sale on the subject: http://www.arrl.org/catalog/6834/ Couple of things to try, it may be the monitor radiating. Reorientate the monitor if possible so the screen faces away from the rig, or move the monitor around to find a "quiet spot" on the operating desk. Change the refresh rate to a different frequency by right click on desktop, Properties, Settings, Advanced, Monitor and change the frequecy and see if that changes the RFI, it may move on a different part of the band but at least it may be "quiet" where you are working on a band.

[digitalradio] Re: Your first ever PSK31 QSO?
First PSK31 contact was: March 8, 2001, 14070 with Jerry - W8GND DigiPan. Prior to that I had been away from ham radio for over 10 years. 1960's and 70's operated quite a lot of RTTY with the old Model 19 Teletype set. Found PSK31 very much like RTTY and these new "buttons" called "macros", HI. Had not joined the ARRL until June 2001, so had no idea about PSK31 or other modes that were created since the 70's. Found a RTTY program called "BTU" for the sound card. Called "CQ" for many days around 14.080 on RTTY. Finally some one answered, I asked where all the RTTY ops were hanging out and that I had been off the air for ten years. He told me about PSK31 and DigiPan and to look around "070" on most of the HF bands for PSK31. Downloaded DigiPan, did a search on PSK31, read as much as I could about this new mode, how to build a interface between computer and radio and tips on keeping audio levels down so that no interference was created on transmit. After the contact with Jerry - W8GND I was "hooked" on PSK31. Most of my operating is on PSK31, but have tried most of the other "digital" modes at one time or another. 73, Jerry - K0HZI

Rick, "that many of the new entrants do not have that zeal or desire to put resources into such activities." That is about it in a nutshell. Most techs buy a two meter FM radio. You hear them on the local repeaters for maybe a month or so and then disappear into the woodwork. After that investment, are they going to go out and purchase a HF rig, I bet not.

[digitalradio] Re: Don't ignore proposals/local HF net successes
I think there are to many other activities for hams now, and hams don't get on the air much as in the past. Maybe complacency? There are thirty six two meter repeaters listed in on the Repeater Directory in the twin city area of Minnesota. Out of those, maybe four are somewhat active. The others may have a net one night a week and then the repeater pretty much is vacant of users the rest of the week. Drive time use has fallen off for the same reason that cell phone use is discouraged in the car. Traffic is very heavy and one needs to concentrate on their driving. The clubs who have a weekly net on their repeater, do not get a lot of stations checking into the net in respect to membership. Some have ten meter and fifteen meter SSB and also CW net on fifteen meters where Tech Plus can check in. Very few that check in. There are nets on Sunday night for SSB on Six, Two, 220 and 70 cm here around the twin city area. Maybe lucky if they get ten stations to check in on Six meters and then most of those stations will also check into the two meter net. On 220, maybe three or four stations at most check in, some weeks no one answers the call for check in. 70 cm maybe four or five check in. Weekdays there is very little activity on SSB. We have had a SSTV net for almost ten years on two meter FM simplex 145.500. At times there were ten stations checking in. Part of the reason was testing Don's K0HEO WinPix Pro and WinPix 32 beta software as he lived in the twin city area. Since Don passed on so have users. The check in was down to maybe three stations on net night. Email was sent out to local clubs informing them of the SSTV net. So far we have had about four new stations check in, for how long, who knows? Try to get hams to help with bike marathons or running marathons to help with relief stations along the way, you almost have to grab hams by the collar and force them to volunteer. The Minnesota Senior Net (CW) is still looking for a permanent net control, no one has volunteered. CW traffic handling a thing of the past? So what is the answer? You can beg plead with other hams until your horse and won't do any good. My .02 cents, YMMV. Jerry - K0HZI --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, KV9U <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Bruce, The ARRL is not generally going to ask other groups for input. It would really be a bit unethical if my organization bypasses me and goes to another organization for input. The input clearly needs to come from the membership. So the ARRL acted appropriately. What seems to be coming out of all this is that SMIRK did not act in their members best interest and ignored the FCC proposal. You do this at your own risk. So I would talk to them about this and how you can usethe organization to further your interests, just like the other groups do. Just so you know, I certainly would never support any wide band modes beyond what we now have on 6 meters or 2 meters. And that includes SS techniques which destroy the noise floor over too wide an area. However, I would like to see 6 meters used a LOT more than it is. It is frustrating to me that after all these years, with many, many, more hams with Technician Class Licenses, and with all the new amazing rigs with 6 and sometimes even 2 and 440 SSB added on, very few hams are working these bands for "local" contacts. The equipment (the really pathetic equipment) I had in 1964 to work 6 meters (and could never get it to work) is a far cry from what we have now and yet you just do not find many operators. I call every so often on 52.525 FM and 50.125 SSB with almost no contacts. Sure, when the band opens up, you can then work many stations. I know that there are very weak signal modes such as some rare EME work and more common meteor shower work so you don't want to jeopardize those areas. By the way, since I moved about 30-40 miles away from my former QTH which was centrally located to our club's Wednesday night chat net, we have tried many different HF frequencies to see what works the best for voice. We initially started on 28.400 for the last year or two but the reason for selecting 10 meter phone was so that the Tech + and Novices could be part of the group. Guess what? At no time have we ever had any of them come to the well publicized net. So recently we have been trying other bands, and 80 tends to go long and you get too many distant stations wanting to contact us, 40 and 20 are outside the NVIS range and have a weaker ground wave. Unfortunately same for 6 meters:( We thought that might work OK for direct/skywave, but very mediocre results with our mediocre antennas. The bands that really work the best are: 160 if the other stations are willing to install an antenna ... and ... 15 meters was the best "ground"/direct wave of all the bands we tried. Even with Butternut and R7 type verticals. I still can not quite figure out the reason.

[digitalradio] Re: Waterfall 2d
Bill, MixW can open "secondary" or "child" windows by right click on the signal of interest. As long as you leave these open (even minimized) you can go back and read what was sent. I think you can open about a twelve secondary windows at once. Even a different mode by right clicking in the open secondary window and selecting the new mode while copying another mode on the main. I have many times seen MFSK16 right above the PSK area on twenty meters and have been able to copy MFSK in a secondary window while copying PSK in the main window.

Does Digital Voice files work the same as the image files that are sent on 14.233? In other words one needs a good solid signal in order to copy and decode the Digital Voice files?

[digitalradio] Re: Upper Sideband as International Standard
Mark, Good references. I had the pleasure of meeting Byron Kretzman, W2JTP while he was working for the State of Minnesota, Highway Department, Electronic Communications division. I have his RTTY handbook autographed by him. He came to the RATS club which met over in Minneapolis. I built the Twin City TU that Byron published in CQ magazine which he desinged while working here in the twin cities. I could not make it work so a ham who was active on RTTY had me bring it to his shack, W0HKF. I had installed this new device called a diode backwards. A 1N34 first solid state device I had seen. Did not know which direction the "bar" end went according to the schematic. Had a lot of fun with the Twin City TU and the old model 19 Teletype set. The last TU I built was the DT-600, all solid state using Op-Amps. Think it was in Ham Radio Magazine? By the way there is a discussion on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/linuxham/ on this very same subject "which way is up?". W1HKJ, Dave is developing fldigi for Linux a multi mode sound card ham application. 73, Jerry - K0HZI --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Mark Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Here are a couple of interesting RTTY History articles. > > http://www.rtty.com/history/w6owp.htm > > http://www.hertzmail.com/rtty/ttyinfo1.pdf > > 73, > > Mark N5RFX > Need a Digital mode QSO?

PAX2 monitored a QSO on 30 meters, it was way to slow, I don't feel it is a viable keyboard mode. Maybe for HF APRS in which I thought was the original intent of PAX2?

[digitalradio] Re: Is thre a digital radio group, reflector, etc. somewhere?
Johnnie, Will be more than happy to help. Most popular digital mode is PSK31 using software and sound card such as DigiPan: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/hteller/digipan/ Have been on PSK31 since 2001, an old CW op myself, and a lot of PSK users are also old CW ops, so you will find others like you self there. Twenty meters seems to be the most popular band around 14.071. Of course one has Field Day going on this weekend, you will see very short exchanges, but this is not how PSK31 is normally run. PSK exhcanges are pretty much like CW. First go around, Name, QTH, signal report is the norm. You make "macros" for the "buttons" and this makes for easy sending of information. Feel free to contact me for any thing else you need to know.

[digitalradio] Interesting - A Soundcard in Your Cable?
>From PC Magazine: http://news.yahoo.com/s/zd/20060426/tc_zd/176736 "Michael Kobrin - PC Magazine Wed Apr 26, 8:16 AM ET A company called SoundTech is looking to simplify the process of hooking your electric musical instrument up to your computer for digital recording. With the introduction of the LightSnake USB, dubbed a soundcard in a cable, SoundTech effectively eliminates the need for a dedicated external USB audio interface. The USB end of the cable has an embedded digital-to-analog converter and preamplifier, as well as a light that flickers when the device is passing a signal, while the other end terminates in a gold-plated quarter-inch instrument plug. This lets guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists plug one end into their instruments and the other directly into their computers (Mac or PC, no drivers needed) without going through an amplifier and audio interface. The 10-foot shielded cable also ships with a quarter-inch to eighth-inch adapter and a quarter-inch male to dual-quarter-inch female splitter. The LightSnake USB is currently available at major online musical instrument retailers for $69.99 (USD) list and is the first of a whole family of products geared toward making digital recording less of a mess of cables and devices." Could something like this be adapted to ham radio sound card modes? Jerry - K0HZI Need a Digital mode QSO?

[digitalradio] Re: A few basic questions
Lynn, Here is a web site which has answers to most of your questions, mainly what the signals look like on the waterfall: http://f1ult.free.fr/DIGIMODES/MULTIPSK/digimodesF6CTE_en.htm --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "lynnmonsanto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, I have a few basic "getting started" questions. I have a FT-897D hooked up to a Rigblaster Pro and my Acer laptop. I'm running MixW and think I have things configured pretty well, since I've been able to receive small bits of readible RTTY transmissions on 40 meters. 1. How do you tell which mode to select in MixW when you see a signal in the MixW waterfall? Do you just learn the visual signatures and choose the appropriate mode? If so, is there a file someplace that describes the visual signature for each mode? See: http://f1ult.free.fr/DIGIMODES/MULTIPSK/digimodesF6CTE_en.htm 2. Olivia has a couple common formats: Olivia 500/16 and Olivia 1000/32. How do know which format to use when listening? There are some established Olivia frequencies. Do you just check the frequencies occasionally to see if anyone is calling CQ? Is there a better strategy? There are a couple of digital mode "clusters" where post are made to frequency and operating mode, one is: http://data.w6rk.com/ But more often than not check the frequencies every so often. If the bandwidth is 1000 Hz, most likely 32 tones, if the bandwidth is 500 Hz, most likely 8 tones. 3. Finally, I just see a lot of garbage characters when I click in the middle of (what appears to be) a couple RTTY vertical lines in the waterfall. Maybe I should be using a software package with fewer options than MixW. All the options are a bit confusing. You may have clicked in between two PSK31 signals? Press the "AFC" button at the bottom of the MixW screen and that will help tune in the signals. Stick with MixW once you learn it, you will see it is the best soundcard software out and has a lot more features than any other software. MixW has a group on Yahoo, can always post questions there too. Thanks and 73! Lynn - W6JAE Good Luck, Jerry - K0HZI Need a Digital mode QSO?

[digitalradio] Re: An experiment: CQ test
I used PSK31, Olivia 8/500, Feld Hell on 20 and 30 meters yesterday April 22, 2006. I think I may have chose the wrong day, conditions were very bad here on 20 meters. I called CQ at various times on the three modes, not one answer. Even tried to contact a station in AZ who usually is 599 here, his signal was to weak to copy. On 30 meters late aftenoon April 22, 2006 I made one Olivia 8/500 contact with a station in Springfield, OH. He was calling CQ and I called him back we had a ten minute QSO that was pretty solid until the end and the band or popagation fell apart between us. I tried later on the three modes calling CQ on 30 meters, no answers. 20 meters seems to be in better shape today April 23, 2006. Have had one PSK31 contact with a station in PA, most of that was solid copy.

Michael, Yep AARV shoild have been SSTV, HI. Should not try to type so early in the morning with only half cup coffee in the system, had my fingers on the wrong "home keys". Yep must have been fun before Robot SSTV units came out, using "radar" scope CRT's for receive and "flying spot scanner" for transmission of images. But only took eight seconds as the top of the image on the radar CRT started to fade at about eight seconds. Yep on the "Command Sets", I gave those manuals to someone who was converting a "ART-13".

Hi Michael, If you can get your hands on some old RTTY Handbooks one is "The New RTTY Handbook" published in 1962 by CQ magazine, author Byron H. Kretzman W2JTP there is a design by W6CQK for A complete Hetrodyne Exciter designed especially for RTTY. Wayne Green and Byron Kretzman published the "RTTY Handbook" and then Wayne Green and 73 Magazine published a RTTY Handbook also. ARRL had RTTY and other special modes AARV, ATV, FAX and others in a handbook called Specialized Communications I think.
