[digitalradio] An observation
Hello Patrick and the group, I have just installed the latest version of MultiPSK, and I have found something odd. I have two soundcards in my shack PC - one is the Soundblaster 16, which I use for radio work, and the other is the on-board AC97, which gets used for Windows sounds. In the set-up (CONFIG) panel, I had the INPUT set as the SB16, and in the OUTPUT, the line SAME CARD AS INPUT was selected. However, this gave me NO power output at all, but when I selected the SB16, all worked OK. It would appear that if you select the SAME CARD AS INPUT, you do not get any output power at all. You have to select the correct card. This is just an observation, and may help others with two soundcards. Very best 73 Phil GU0SUP
[digitalradio] RE: JT65A HF query/observations
Hi all, Yes, I can see how JT65A is great when signals are weak, but almost all JT65A contacts here in Europe are between EU stations. I have seen the occasional JA station, and one or two ZS stations, but trying to get to work them is almost impossible due to the number of stations that call them. Also, some folk seem to be using quite high power - ie more than 100 watts. I try to keep my JT65A contacts to less than 25 watts. I also agree with Brian K3KO again regarding trying to make contact when signals are really weak. If you can't spot anything on the waterfall, it can be really hard to ensure that anyone CQ'ing falls into the passband. I did some monitoring the other day, and had TU 73 appear on the screen, but I just could not see where it had found that in the +/- 600Hz!!! That meant I wasn't able to click on the tracks and follow the remainder of the QSO. Perhaps there is a way to do this? And what exactly do you put in your log for an RST?? 73 de Phil GU0SUP
