[digitalradio] PSK Deathmatch this weekend
Hi all, I have a Question. Are both modes (PSK31 + PSK63) allowed at the same time? Of course w/only 1 Signal on the Air. i.e. I call CQ ... get answer ... I work in PSK31 can I ask OM to switch to psk63 and work him again on same Band? Am I misunderstanding anything? http://www.mdxa1.org/deathmatch.html 73 and GL Steve, W1CDX

[digitalradio] Re: Microphone putting audio into PSK transmissions
Dave, you have to switch to Digital SSB. By pressing and holding the USB/LSB button for 1 sec. the Radio will show D-USB or D-LSB. This will effectively de-couple any Microphone, Radio-wise (internally). ... workes for me 73 Steve, W1CDX --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Dave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm using the ACC jack on the rear of my IC-746 for digital mode audio > from my computer.

[digitalradio] Re: OT: Muscle pain from vertebral problems
In the same boat here... Finally getting my MRI on next Tuesday 08:30 and then hopefully soon after... a Solution to my Pain. In my case the Siatic Nerve is pinched or inflammed, making it very painful to use my left leg. Colleges at work call me "hoppalong" and really good friends call me "hopp" anyway, 73 to both of you and get better soon Steve "Hopp" hi W1CDX --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Rick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Andy, > > I greatly sympathize with your medical problem as this is one of the > reasons I retired early with severe arthritis and nerves being crushed, > particularly from the C5 vertebrae.

[digitalradio] Re: Microkeyer II and WSJT
Andy, thanks I found the problem. It was a "unusual" setting in my router software. In ALL software, I have to check "soundcard PTT". In WSJT6 however this option has to be unchecked... no soundcard PTT. Well, we got it working and I ran a few nice QSO's tonight on 80m.

[digitalradio] Microkeyer II and WSJT
I need help w/WSJT v 5.9.7 or 5.9.8 please. first off...I need to say that this SW was running with my MK2. But last weekend I had a harddrive crash and needed to reinstall everything. MY MK2 workes fine w/DM780 and all my other Ham Software, except this little JT65A program called WSJT (I use ver. 5.9.8) As soon as i start the program...my Radio goes into TX. I know it is not the COM-port that is causing this, because when I select the PC soundcard it does not go into a TX mode. The TX mode only activates when I select the Microham USB. Up on startup of WSJT i get the dos-window where is says... 0 2 0 Microsoft Soundmapper 1 2 0 NVidia Audio 2 2 0 microham CODEC 3 0 2 Microsoft Soundmapper 4 0 2 NVidia Audio 5 0 2 microham CODEC Request Input 2Output 5 So in the main program i select 2 for the Audio in and i select 5 for audio out and of course i select 10 for com port 10 (which i defined in router 5.1.1) Anybody have any guesses? thanks Steve, W1CDX
