Re: [digitalradio] New
There's a good introduction to APRS at http://www.wa8lmf.net/bruninga/aprs.html At the bottom of that page is a link to join the TAPR APRSSIG email list. It is very active and I'd recommend you join. My other suggestion applies if you would like to have some fun at home right off the bat. Download a copy of UI-View32 from http://www.ui-view.org/ You can start out running this program to watch other position beacons as they are reported through RF digipeaters with IGate capability. That is, you can play with APRS reporting from data on the internet even before you hook up your PC to your radio. You can focus on any location you want, world-wide. My first introduction to APRS, years ago, was when a friend took a vacation and beaconed the whole trip. I could watch in near real time as he navigated across the US. In addition to UI-View32, you can use the findu.com site to lookup APRS info directly on the internet. To focus on your home town of Joplin, MO, using findu.com, I looked for APRS activity near your lat/long as reported on qrz.com for your callsign: http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/near.cgi?lat=37.034415lon=-94.509317last=240distance=200n=100rate=1 It shows the activity in your area, and the fact that there's an IGate in Joplin. Next you can connect to your radio and begin to have UI-View32 issue position reports from your home QTH. You can configure UI-View32 with your fixed lat/long info and don't need a GPS for that. Some people who have a home weather station that can connect to their PC will use that to have their home QTH APRS beacons contain the latest temp, wind, etc. If it's still fun, I'd consider the other recommendations you've gotten. As Jeff KE7ACY pointed out If you want to send out APRS packets so that others can track your movements - all you need is a TinyTrak type device and an HT. That can be fun. One time I was at Dayton for the Hamvention. I typically bring along my HT and a mag mount for the rental car. Hooked up the gps to the HT as I drove around the area. I'd given my wife the findu.com link to track me, and she called me on the cell from back in California and asked why I was on the freeway going 8 miles per hour. I thought that was pretty funny, while I sat there in the traffic jam. As suggested by others, you can go whole hog while mobile and bring along a lap or netbook and hook your gps to that, and to the radio. People do that, but I would first try some of the simpler ideas listed above to get started. Good luck.

Re: [digitalradio] New
You don't specifically NEED a GPS unit for APRS unless you plan on operating mobile. APRS uses VHF, HF, or both. Which do you plan? If mobile, most use VHF.. 2 meters. On HF is is mainly 30M but there is some HF APRS on 20M too. Most common APRS methods use packet radio. 300 baud packet on HF and 1200 baud packet on 30M . There is some APRS using PSK but that is not as common. So, to start, we need to figure out how you intend to generate the packet tones and decode the received signals . If mobile , we need to figure out if you have one of the special radios that has a TNC built in. or are you going to need one like the small TNC-X (designed by my neighbour a few blocks away). Not mobile, you can use a soundcard based application , like Multpsk, to generate the Packet tones in APRS mode. Many GPS units do not work with ham radio and APRS. Only the higher-end GPS units tend to come with data output presented in a manner than can be linked to a radio. So don't assume your Tom Tom will do what u want unless it outputs data via NMEA So, tell me more about what you have in mind ?

[digitalradio] New guy
Hello all. After being a SWL for several years, a friend willed (he is an SK now) to me his Icom 765. I am intrested in getting into the digital modes. Being new, I don't even know enough to ask the right questions. My wife is in the US Navy and we will retire to the country of Panama. I got my ticket last Feb. but we moved to Baton Rouge and I have nothing set up (except a long wire in the attic). I have had all the gear (IC-765, IC-AT500, IC-2kl and its powersupply) back to a guy who rebuilt and referbished to factory spect. I have found that if you have a ticket, in Panama, they will give you one (of equal rating) so you can operate in their country. Is HRD the program to use, or should I start out with somethig that is more simple? Do I get an outboard sound card? What cables do I need? Any advice will be appreciated. Steve KJ4SLK
Re: [digitalradio] New guy
Welcome Steve. Getting started is not too complicated. HRD is a good choice. Your others would be Multipsk, FLdigi, Digipan or Winwarbler . All fairly easy to set up. If you PC has an internal sound card, that is all you would need. You can add a second sound card later if you wanted to do digital modes and listen to other sounds at the same time. In general you need a cable that will take the audio received from you radio to the line-in of your computer soundcard. Also a cable that takes generated tones from your PC to the input of you radio. Most people also like to have the ability to control the radio via the software, so there is also usually a connection via a serial or USB port that controls the radio and switches between transmit and receive. Many hams built all this themselves but many others buy commercial interfaces. These interfaces range from very basic (but effective) interfaces like the Donner cable that sells for around $40.00, the Signallink interfaces that is around $120, to the higher end interfaces with bells and whistles like the Microham or Rigblaster products that exceed $250.00. If you want to build your own, Skip Teller's interface recently outlined in QST magazine can be built easily and inexpensively. For software, I find the easiest are the products that get you very quick responses when stuck, and the ones that don't scold you when you don't read the manual (or have an Einstein brain) . Winwarbler, Digipan, HRD-DM780, Multipsk and FLdigi will all get you quick, patient, responses if you need help.

Okay now for all users to read and notice First of all @jose : no I am not crazy, but all users should know what your soft does EXACTLY For the rest of the world: There are 2 exe in the ros folder Ros(versxyz).exe is doing the on air things and the emailreport Adifdata.exe is connecting to different clusters and sends the (wrong) spots Jose decided to spread the users over the qrgs as he is doing it with his tones in the channel If the spots were correct there would be a pileup every day and no user could do a qso he thinks So what he did is Ros sends the data to adifdata via ros ini So far so good But the qrg is randomly calculated . so almost never correct . in the autogenerated spots you only see who is working but not where (qrg) The only way to get rid of the wrong spots is to denie the adifdata to connect to the cluster As vk3ama has closed the spotpage there is no need to send those false spots anymore So we users (I am a fan of that mode) can only get jose to change if we do not sent those false spots Many syops around the world put ROS on the bad word list cause of the massive spotflooding and that the spots are false Only Solution is: Take a firewall and block the adifdata Spot only real qso by hand typing (avoid the bad word to get a better chance of forwarding) Emailfunction can be used or not . has been safe so far . but who knows what comes next If jose change the randomizing of qrg and let the user decide whether to send a spot or not I will use the spotfunction again Then after change you know who is on air and where to find (that is all needed info) Till he changed his mind we ALL should block the autospotfunction cause it is making more trouble as it helps So please give that info to all other ros user Maybe we can get rid of that bad behaviour (of the soft and his builder) JOSE IT IS TIME TO CHANGE ! ! Best would be no autospotting at all I decide to use ros without it and hope all others do the same If no spots get in the cluster the function is useless Greetings to all Sigi Delta golf nine beat frequency counter

[digitalradio] New release (4.18) of MULTIPSK
Pour les francophones: la version française de ce message se trouve sur mon site (http://f6cte.free.fr). Il suffit de cliquer sur le lien Principales modifications (courriel avertissant de la sortie de la nouvelle version). Hello to all Ham and SWL, The new release of MultiPSK (4.18) is on my Web site (http://f6cte.free.fr). It is not yet on Earl's and Terry's WEB sites. The main modifications of MULTIPSK 4.18 are the following: 1) Decoding of the NWR SAME mode NWR (National Weather Radio) SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) is simply a method of identifying the local area to which an alert message applies. It utilizes a digital data stream that contains the alert message with information about the type of event expected, its timing, duration, and location. The NWR SAME system is used in USA and Canada, in VHF (162.400, 162.425, 162.450, 162.475, 162.500, 162.525, 162.550 MHz). To listen NWR SAME messages: the NWS tests the NWR and SAME alerting technology weekly. These tests normally occur on Wednesday between 10 AM and Noon with some variations to accomodate local requirements. This mode is available for licencied copies, only (otherwise, the decoding is stopped after 5 minutes). See specifications further on. 2) Transmission/reception of ARQ FAE QSP (indirect) mails through a mails Server Differences between a direct mail and a QSP mail (indirect) A mail is direct if you can transmit it directly to the final addressee: A --B. If you can't transmit the mail directly because the final addressee can't be directly reached due to the link conditions, the mail can be forwarded by the connected station, which acts as a mails Server: A--C (mails Server)--B. For this, you must use a QSP mail. A paper based on snapshots presents this new system: http://f6cte.free.fr/QSP_mails_forwarding_easy_with_Multipsk_in_ALE_and_ALE400.doc 3) New macros: - RPRT@ permits to ask to the other Ham or to the SWL monitoring your QSO to send you a reception report by e-mail. Your address must be specified in the WEB ADDRESS of your personal data (Personal button). It will be transmitted the following command r...@lenemail addressCRC which is the report demand. If correctly decoded, a reception report will be transmitted to the e-mail address that you specified, through Internet. Examples of use of this macro 1) The main objective is to ask the other Ham with whom you are in QSO to send you a reception report by e-mail. 2) But it can be also done by a SWL monitoring your QSO. 3) This macro can be used in conjuction with a Multipsk beacon which mode can be controlled by a RS ID. For example, you can switch the beacon in BPSK31 and asks the beacon for a reception report. Afterwards, the beacon can be switched in Olivia by a new RS ID and a new reception report can be asked... Note: this macro can be used for all digital modes (except JT65), CW included. A paper based on snapshots presents this new system: http://f6cte.free.fr/How_to_use_the_« RPRT@ »_email_reception_report_with_Multipsk.doc The source code (in Pascal/Delphi and in English) to code/decode this command is available for the coding/decoding software developpers, by making the demand to F6CTE by e-mail. - TUNE:command permits to send a Tune (non modulated carrier) with the command: TUNE: Power (in % from 0 to 100) Frequency (in Hz from 0 to 5000) Duration (in 1/10 sec from 1 to 999). For example: TUNE: 5 4000 10 (5% of power at 4000 Hz for 1 sec) This function can be used for transmission tests or, perhaps, to create his/her personal jingle (short musical sequence). - S/N gives the Signal to Noise ratio (in dB) obtained about 4 seconds before the switching to transmission. - Quality for PSK modes only, gives the signal quality from 1/5 to 5/5 obtained about 4 seconds before the switching to transmission. 4) Improvements Addition of a filter possibility in the SELCAL mode. Addition of 6 new memories of frequency and mode in the Transceiver window, for a total of 10 memories. Some improvements for contesters: addition of a manual control of the QSO number, proposition of standard HF QRGs for the Freq MHz field, possibility to double the size of the QSO-log or DXKeeper buttons (in the Logbook window). Note about translation of Multipsk.exe and Clock .exe: the 4.17 version of Multipsk/Clock has been completly translated to Spanish by Joachin (EA4ZB), from French. The translation file is on my Web site (http://f6cte.free.fr/Translation_files.htm). NWR SAME (VHF) The NWR (National Weather Radio) SAME (Specific Area Message Encoding) is a digital system for transmission in USA and Canada, in VHF, of warning messages. There are, in fact, other agencies that NWS (National Weather Service) which use the SAME system. There are also many other messages that warning or watch messages. Description : Baud rate: 580.83. Modulation : Logic 0 at 1562.5 Hz and logic 1 at 2083.3 Hz Reception
Re: [digitalradio] New release (4.18) of MULTIPSK
Hi Patrick, Wonder if you happen to know that I created the original (very first) Weather Radio Alert in 1974, which then created the entire weather alert radio industry! At that time, there was no SAME feature, so the alarm went off too often when no bad weather was close by. SAME came along after I retired. The key to making the alert reliable was this patented circuit: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2Sect2=HITOFFp=1u=/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.htmlr=8f=Gl=50co1=ANDd=PTXTs1=4,158,148OS=4,158,148RS=4,158,148 http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2Sect2=HITOFFp=1u=/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.htmlr=8f=Gl=50co1=ANDd=PTXTs1=4,158,148OS=4,158,148RS=4,158,148 After manufacturing and selling over 3,000,000 radios in 10 years, I retired and had time for ham radio. DigiPan was the first thing I did after I retired. Your support of the weather alert feature means a lot to me!

[digitalradio] New SDR related Yahoo gtroup
I started the digitalradio Yahoo group ten years ago (next month) because ,at that time , there were many groups dedicated to particular modes of applications but no generic groups where anything related to digit modes was ok to discuss. For the same reason, I have started SDRlist. A Yahoo group for discussion of any software defined radio.

Re: [digitalradio] New SDR related Yahoo gtroup
I think you are confused Bill. Bonnie was not involved in getting it going. She did contribute two graphics 4-5 years after we got going. Actually, it was Andrew Nicholson who gave the initial help since he merged his rival group with mine after a few months.

[digitalradio] New release (4.17) of MULTIPSK
Pour les francophones: la version française de ce message se trouve sur mon site (http://f6cte.free.fr). Il suffit de cliquer sur le lien Principales modifications (courriel avertissant de la sortie de la nouvelle version). Hello to all Ham and SWL, The new release of MultiPSK (4.17) is on my Web site (http://f6cte.free.fr). The main mirror site is Earl's, N8KBR: http://www.eqth.info/multipsk/index.html (click on United States Download Site). Another mirror site isTerry's: http://g90swl.co.uk/multipsk/ Multipsk associated to Clock are freeware programs but with functions submitted to a licence (by user key). The main modifications of MULTIPSK 4.17 are the following: 1) Decoding of the COQUELET modes (8 and 13) These modes are used in HF for professional transmissions. 2 sorts of Coquelet exist: the 8 tones (still used) and the 13 tones (perhaps still used). This mode is available for licencied copies, only (otherwise, the decoding is stopped after 5 minutes). See specifications further on. 2) Interface with PSKReporter Principle: the SWL or Ham monitoring transmits received data to a PSKreporter WEB server, either manually or automatically (by Multipsk in direct or panoramic reception). This server gathers reception records of any digital mode activity and then make those records available, in near realtime, to interested parties (typically the amateur who initiates the communication). Stations are located on a world map. All text modes can be reported (included JT65, ALE and ALE400 soundings and ARQ FAE calls). However in PACKET/PAX/PAX2, the option (available clicking on the Options button) Only the information on RX and TX frames must be unchecked to be able to report to PSKReporter. The Call ID can also be reported. For configuration and help about PSKReporter, click on PSKReporter located on the menu top bar. 3) New macros: - COM:command permits to send a serial command through the selected main COM port (Serial port menu). Through this command, it is possible to control such equipment as TNC or DSP. Attention: Multipsk gives the possibility to send a command through the serial port but this one must be determined by the user. See help for details. 4) Improvements Possibility to do a callsign look-up in DXKeeper, Slight improvement of the 4285 and 110A decoding and SELCAL display, Partial decoding of the CCIR 493-4 Selcall (Australian Selcall) mode. It is an option of the GMDSS DSC mode, Timestamp on each line (for versions under licence): a timestamp (12:03:51 for example), will be added at the beginning of each new line for all text modes (configuration in the Options menu of the RX/TX screen), Possibility to control a TNC (or another exterior equipement) with COM and EXEC macros in 4 phases: TNC initialization, at RX to TX switchover, at TX to RX switchover, at the TNC end of service (configuration in the Options menu of the RX/TX screen), Possibility of QSO recording in a TCP/IP client logbook (configuration in Your logbook of the Configuration screen and with the TCP/IP button of the RX/TX screen), Digitalk (thanks to Skip KH6TY), through a TCP/IP link with Multipsk, permits to pronounce (in an English way) all the decoded text. It is aimed to blind Hams and SWL (configuration in the Options menu of the RX/TX screen). The PC must be a XP. For blind Hams and SWL, possibility to search transmissions (PSK31, RTTY...) on the waterfall with the -- and -- keys (configuration in the Options menu of the RX/TX screen), Possibility of pause of the text transmission, by double-clicking on the transmission window (second one), then resumption with a simple-clicking, New function Auto RX to switch automatically in reception as soon as the transmission buffer is empty (for Hellschreiber mainly, but also for PSK31...), Colors for the panoramic (characters and background) can be freely chosen (Fonts button), Improvement of the selection of the modes detected by RS ID, SdR: possibility to transmit in base band and to select one among 12 HF frequencies. Note about translation of Multipsk.exe and Clock .exe: the 4.16 version of Multipsk/Clock has been completly translated to Spanish by Joachin (EA4ZB), from French. The translation file is on my Web site (http://f6cte.free.fr/Translation_files.htm). Coquelet specifications: Created by : ACEC in the 1950s years. These modes are used in HF for professional transmissions. 2 sorts of Coquelet exist: the 8 tones (still used) and the 13 tones (perhaps still used). Baud rate : 13.33 and 26.67 for Coquelet 8, 13.33 and 20 for Coquelet13 Speed : 66 or 133 wpm for the Coquelet 8, 66 or 100 mpm for the Coquelet13 Modulation for Coquelet8: MFSK 8 tones. The first tone (one among the 8 tones) defines the bits 3,4 and 5. The second tone (one among the tones 5, 6, 7, 8) defines the bits 1 and 2. The idle sequence switches from tone 8 to 1, then from tone 1 to tone 8, etc...
Re: [digitalradio] NEW NARROWBAND DIGITAL MODE
Andy, I now cannot see the previously seen randomness in the new 500 Hz-wide mode of ROS, so it does not appear to be spread spectrum. In addition, the addition of data now alters the idling carrier frequencies according to the data, because if it did not, it would still fit one of the requirements for spread spectrum. The randomness does still appear in the 2250 Hz-wide mode, either in HF or EME mode, and is not influenced by the sending of data, however, suggesting that mode has not been changed. I would say that the 500 Hz-wide ROS mode is probably legal for US amateurs to use, but the 2250 Hz-wide mode would still only be legal to use over 222 Mhz. Perhaps Steinar can use his superior spectrum analysis software to confirm this. 73 - Skip KH6TY Andy obrien wrote: -- Forwarded message -- From: *ROS v2.5.0 Beta* no-re...@wordpress.com mailto:no-re...@wordpress.com Date: Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 9:42 PM Subject: [New post] NEW NARROWBAND DIGITAL MODE To: k3uka...@gmail.com mailto:k3uka...@gmail.com http://rosmodem.wordpress.com/author/rosmodem/ NEW NARROWBAND DIGITAL MODE http://rosmodem.wordpress.com/2010/03/05/new-narrowband-digital-mode/ *José Alberto Nieto Ros http://rosmodem.wordpress.com/author/rosmodem/* | 5 March, 2010 at 03:42 | Categories: Uncategorized http://rosmodem.wordpress.com/category/uncategorized/ | URL: http://wp.me/pNifC-5R http://wp.me/pNifC-5R I have created a new narrowband digital mode for Ham Radio operators Technical description will be sent to FCC with the aim that they give their approval for this new mode.

[digitalradio] New Improved Active LoTW Search by US State page on Hamspots.net
The Search by US State of Active Callsigns using LoTW page on Hamspots.net has had some major updates. The search results now show the last known year of upload to LoTW of callsigns (great for avoiding those who haven't uploaded in many years). The Spot count is broken down by mode making it much easier to identify the callsigns that may help towards CW,PHONE or RTTY WAS Triple Play. The Other mode is for the less popular modes that aren't CW,SSB,RTTY,PSK or WSJT (JT65), like Throb, ROS, SSTV, etc. The Unknown mode is for those spots where the mode could not be determined from the Cluster spot comments. Enjoy. de Laurie, VK3AMA

Re: [digitalradio] New subject: FSK clicks

[digitalradio] New software and demo files for LD-1 SDR
A new release of the LD-1 software with improved functionality and a streamlined installation procedure is now available. Also, I've recorded some new demo files which can be played back using Winrad or Rocky. It seems I'd been running my sound card's Line-In gain way too high, saturating the input. The new software and demos are all available at www.lazydogengineering.com/LD1Downloads.htm. Details at www.garage-shoppe.com. 73, Pete, NI9N www.lazydogengineering.com www.garage-shoppe.com

[digitalradio] New SDR from Flex Radio
The Flex 1500 will soon be available. The first one has rolled off prototype line and you can see it (in operation) at the Orlando Hamcation if you are going (this weekend). If is a BCB through 54 MHz 5 watt TRANSCEIVER with control, etc. run via the USB 2.0 connection. If it were not for the 5 watt amplifier, it would power itself completely from the USB 2.0 cable. It will be run by PowerSDR 2.0 (soon to be released). It comes with full support for CAT and 3rd party digital programs without the use of cables (both supported virtually). http://www.flex-radio.com/Products.aspx?topic=F1.5k_features The cost is $580 for the time being.

Re: [digitalradio] New kenwood radio (video clip)
From Kenwood's booth at the 2009 Tokyo Ham Fair, posted on YouTube in August, 2009. It shows a mock-up of Kenwood's next mid-range (US $2,000) 160-6 meter HF radio that targets most of the Elecraft K3's specs. A real one should be at Dayton 2010.

[digitalradio] New Sunspot Group #11043
Posted Sunday January 31, 2010 at 1500 UTC at http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o4.htm On Saturday the 30th a new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged in NE quadrant of the Sun near N27E35 and was numbered 11043 by NOAA/SWPC. It contains a beta magnetic signature capable of producing B class and isolated C class solar flares. On Saturday the 30th the solar flux index values were 77.0 75.0 74.2 and the sunspot number 25. We have had visible sunspots for 10 days in a row, 23 of the last 24 days and 34 of the last 36 days. I think that we can safely say that solar cycle 24 is well underway and steadily picking up it's pace. Sunspot group #11041 is now a spotless plage near S27W58 and will soon cross the SW limb of the Sun. 73 GUD DX, Thomas F.

[digitalradio] NEW : Digitalradio 2010 Challenge via Clublogs
I have arranged for clublogs.org (http://www.clublogs.org) to add Digitalradio as a club . This means you can connect to their web site, registered, and then upload your log . The upload will be an ADIF upload. If you need help with that part, just let me know, it is quite easy. You also need to add digitalradio as a club you belong to. To do that click on CLUBS and pick digitalradio from the list. You can add other clubs that you belong to, also.Once you have done that you will be able to participate in a variety of challenges. One will be between members of digitalradio, and an other can be digitalradio versus others groups/clubs. I am particularly interested in a 2010 challenge for data QSOs. Clublogs.org will allow you to filter your log and see QSOs and DXCC entities worked by mode (CW, SSB , or DATA) . So upload your log periodically and see where you stand versus other people and how we stand versus other clubs. After you upload your log and join a club, it can take some time before your data starts to show. Andy K3UK About Club Log Introduction by Michael G7VJR Club Log is a web-based application that uses a large database to analyse amateur radio log files, which are uploaded by users all over the world. Using the logs, it is possible to offer band-mode league tables, efficient log search tools, analysis for DXpedition planning purposes and most wanted lists for DXCC entities (including by date, band or mode for example). There is a great deal of information that can be mined and analysed in a standard ADIF file. Club Log can provide empirical propagation charts, and give back to its users the ability to find wanted DX spots, identify QSLing gaps and perform other analysis of their logs which might be hard to do with normal logging software. Through Club Log, I also host online log search systems for significant DXpeditions. One of the driving principles of Club Log is to store as many QSOs as possible, as this makes the reports and statistics more meaningful and representative. Everything in Club Log depends upon analysing real QSOs, and or this reason I am very grateful to everyone who participates. If you have not joined yet, I warmly invite you to sign up and join the action! It is completely free.

RE: [digitalradio] New digital interfaces for Christmas
Hello Andy, Although I might not be considered a new member, I did receive a Tigertronics Signalink USB under the tree last week. Quite a nice little gift from Santa Claus, I tell you. My WINMOR scores and speeds have gone up considerably and my retries have gone down - not much more to ask for, really. It is quite an improvement over my Dell motherboard computer soundcard. And the Signalink came with good instructions and was very easy to install. The price at a hundred dollars was very reasonable for what you get - free shipping. It replaced a Rig Blaster (to be kept for Field Day) and I am still using a Rig Talk for rig control. So yea, I'm pretty happy.

[digitalradio] New ARRL Course on Digital Technology for EmComms
New ARRL Course on Digital Technology for EmComms With digital technology becoming an integral part of Amateur Radio, hams interested in emergency communications now have a new tool to help them take advantage of emerging modes such as Packet Radio APRS, Winlink 2000, IRLP, EchoLink and WIRES-II, D-STAR, APCO25, HF sound card modes and Automatic Link Establishment (ALE). The ARRL Digital Technology for Emergency Communications Coursehttp://www.arrl.org/catalog/?item=1247 will introduce hams to all of the ways Amateur Radio operators are using digital technology as a valuable emergency communications tool. Written by ARRL Publications Manager and QST Editor Steve Ford, WB8IMY, this self-study CD-ROM will answer such questions as: Can you transfer supply lists or personnel assignments between emergency operations sites? Can you get critical e-mails to the Internet if a connection goes down? Can you relay digital images of damage at specific locations? Can you track the locations of emergency personnel and display them on computer maps? Illustrations, screenshots, Internet links and audio files are used to demonstrate transmission modes and equipment configurations. Bite-sized learning units and interactive knowledge checks make learning interesting and fun. This course is a great starting point for anyone interested in the public service applications of digital communications technology, said Ford.
[digitalradio] New release (4.16) of MULTIPSK
New release (4.16) of MULTIPSK Pour les francophones: la version française de ce message se trouve sur mon site (http://f6cte.free.fr). Il suffit de cliquer sur le lien Principales modifications (courriel avertissant de la sortie de la nouvelle version). Hello to all Ham and SWL, The new release of MultiPSK (4.16) is on my Web site (http://f6cte.free.fr). The main mirror site is Earl's, N8KBR: http://www.eqth.info/multipsk/index.html (click on United States Download Site). Another mirror site isTerry's: http://g90swl.co.uk/multipsk/ Multipsk associated to Clock are freeware programs but with functions submitted to a licence (by user key). Multidem 2.2.4 and Clock 1.8.5 have been slightly modified (improvement of the sound card and mixer management). The main modifications of MULTIPSK 4.16 are the following: 1) Decoding of the STANAG 4285 mode This mode is used in HF for professional transmissions. Unfortunatly, almost all transmissions are encrypted, which limits the interest of this mode Several sub modes (75 to 2400 bps) and two different interleaving (short and long) are proposed. All modes are fixed frequency. The receiver should be in USB mode. The bandwidth must extend from 300 to 3300 Hz (at -30 dB) with a relatively flat frequency response between 600 and 3000 Hz. The central frequency is, in this case, equal to 1800Hz. It can be selected a 1500 Hz central frequency for Ham receivers. It is a first decoding version which is far away to be perfect (the signal must be very good to be decoded). See specifications further on. 2) RS ID, Call ID (Message ID) RS ID Due to the extension of the RS ID use, it is proposed a function which allows to select a group of modes for which the user wants a RS ID detection (function available by clicking on ID ). Message ID Creation of a Message ID which permits to send small messages of 9 characters maximum which will appear in the waterfall of the other Hams. As it works in background and as it is not related to any specific digital mode, it can be useful, for example, in case of difficulty of doing a QSO. Message IDs are not considered as true Call IDs and are not stored (they are only displayed). For more information, download: http://f6cte.free.fr/The_RS_ID_easy_with_Multipsk.doc http://f6cte.free.fr/The_Call_ID_and_Prop_ID_easy_with_Multipsk.doc 3) New macros: - LAST QSO transmits all the data about the last QSO done with the Ham which call sign is in the Call field. By clicking on Number? in the QSO panel, these data also appears, - SELF REPEATING permits to automatically repeat the same sequence until the user decides to switch on reception. It is a useful function for tests. This macro must be located at the end of the sequence. -EXEC:command permits to execute a Windows command. For example, it provides an easy way to look up call on qrz.com: EXEC:rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://www.qrz.com/db/CALL. Macros which can be directly replaced by a text can be integered to the EXEC macro. This macro is reserved for Hams with experience in computers. See help for details. 4) Improvements of the ARQ FAE mode (in ALE or ALE400) with, mainly, an automatic re-synchronization using the RS ID, the Packet 1200 bauds decoding, the sound card management, the 110A decoding, APRS (Packet, 141A and ALE400). It can be sent a specific icon, for example Emergency (in the APRS Transmission panel), JT65: JT65 beacon transmitting at each minute. Note about translation of Multipsk.exe and Clock .exe: the 4.15 version of Multipsk/Clock has been completly translated to Spanish by Joachin (EA4ZB), from French. The translation file is on my Web site (http://f6cte.free.fr/Translation_files.htm). 4285 specifications: Baud rate: 2400. Modulation : 8PSK (not differential, the exact phase being determined through known data) with a central frequency of 1800 Hz Reception mode: USB Character set : different synchronous or asynchronous formats are proposed (5 ITA2, 7 bits ASCII or 8 bits (ASCII+ANSI)) Shape of pulse : raised cosine Bandwidth : about 3 KHz (300 to 3300 Hz) Demodulation : coherent Synchronization : automatic using the known data Convolution code: yes. The constraint lenght is equal to 7 bits, Interleaving : yes. Two interleavings are proposed: short or long. Lowest S/N (on Multipsk): + 5 dB in 75 bps and + 12 dB in 2400 bps (the signal to noise ratio must be, in general, very good, to be able to decode this mode, i.e excellent at 2400 bps and good at 75 bps). Each frame contains a synchronization preamble phase (80 symbols), 4 data phases of 32 symbols where the unknown data is transmitted (mixed with 3 known data phases of 16 symbols to follow the transmission characteristics). An adaptative equalization is required at this speed (2400 bauds). 73 Patrick

It is a useful function for tests. This macro must be located at the end of the sequence. -EXEC:command permits to execute a Windows command. For example, it provides an easy way to look up call on qrz.com: EXEC:rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://www.qrz.com/db/CALL. Macros which can be directly replaced by a text can be integered to the EXEC macro. This macro is reserved for Hams with experience in computers. See help for details. 4) Improvements of the ARQ FAE mode (in ALE or ALE400) with, mainly, an automatic re-synchronization using the RS ID, the Packet 1200 bauds decoding, the sound card management, the 110A decoding, APRS (Packet, 141A and ALE400). It can be sent a specific icon, for example Emergency (in the APRS Transmission panel), JT65: JT65 beacon transmitting at each minute. Note about translation of Multipsk.exe and Clock .exe: the 4.15 version of Multipsk/Clock has been completly translated to Spanish by Joachin (EA4ZB), from French. The translation file is on my Web site (http://f6cte.free.fr/Translation_files.htm). 4285 specifications: Baud rate: 2400. Modulation : 8PSK (not differential, the exact phase being determined through known data) with a central frequency of 1800 Hz Reception mode: USB Character set : different synchronous or asynchronous formats are proposed (5 ITA2, 7 bits ASCII or 8 bits (ASCII+ANSI)) Shape of pulse : raised cosine Bandwidth : about 3 KHz (300 to 3300 Hz) Demodulation : coherent Synchronization : automatic using the known data Convolution code: yes. The constraint lenght is equal to 7 bits, Interleaving : yes. Two interleavings are proposed: short or long. Lowest S/N (on Multipsk): + 5 dB in 75 bps and + 12 dB in 2400 bps (the signal to noise ratio must be, in general, very good, to be able to decode this mode, i.e excellent at 2400 bps and good at 75 bps). Each frame contains a synchronization preamble phase (80 symbols), 4 data phases of 32 symbols where the unknown data is transmitted (mixed with 3 known data phases of 16 symbols to follow the transmission
[digitalradio] New Solar Cycle 24 Sunspot Group
Posted Friday November 20, 2009 at http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o4.htm Yesterday evening another new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged in the NE quadrant of the Sun in between sunspot group #11032 and #11033. If numbered by NOAA/SWPC it will be #11034 and SIDC Belgium Catania #32. The NOAA/SWPC sunspot number is 30 (tied for the highest so far for solar cycle 24) and the SIDC Belgium sunspot number is 26. The solar flux index (SFI) is 78.0. The new sunspot groups could push the SFI above 80 in coming days. This would raise the maximum usable frequency (MUF) of the F layer high enough to improve propagation conditions on 20, 17 and 15 meters. Solar cycle 24 continues to ramp up this month.

Re: [digitalradio] New Version of WSPR Available
Am I missing something else ? I have WSPR 2.0 working for transmit and receive but if I choose the CAT option in the setup, nothing appears to happen. It doe not appear to read my frequency despite setting it up the normal way one sets up for a TS2000. Is it supposed to read the frequency? When I update the radio my PC internal speaker squawks at ,me.

Re: [digitalradio] New Version of WSPR Available
OK, it works with a TS570 setting but not with a TS2000 setting for some reason. I see if does not read the frequency but updates the frequency back to the originally setting. What are the advantages of this ? On Sat, Nov 21, 2009 at 9:57 AM, Andy obrien k3uka...@gmail.com wrote: Am I missing something else ?

[digitalradio] New Version of WSPR Available
Joe (K1JT) has just announced the release of a new version of WSPR as follows. WSPR 2.0 is now available for download from the WSJT Home Page, http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/ . Click on WSPR in the left margin, then on the appropriate WSPR 2.0 link for your operating system. Installable binary packages are provided for Windows and for recent Debian-based 32-bit Linux systems. A recommended Linux distribution is Ubuntu 9.04. Version 2.0 of WSPR introduces a number of new program features, including the following: - User-friendly setup screen with drop-down selection of audio devices and CAT parameters - Support for compound callsigns - Fine adjustment of fractional time for transmitting - Optional CW identification - Tools for frequency calibration and automated frequency corrections for your radio - A Tune button - Direct on-line access to the WSPR 2.0 User's guide, WSPRnet, and the WSJT Home Page Full details are presented in the all-new User's Guide, which is a must read if you want to use the new features. The manual includes a Troubleshooting guide. Click http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/WSPR_2.0_User.pdf to read the manual. WSPR also runs on most other Linux distributions, on FreeBSD, and on Mac OS X -- but at present, on these platforms you must compile it from source code. Some basic instructions are included on the WSJT Program Development web page, http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/devel.html . Many people have contributed to the success and popularity of WSPR, and to WSPR 2.0 in particular. Members of the WSJT Development Group, especially G4KLA, OH2GQC, VA3DB, W1BW, W6CQZ, and JCDutton have written code, particularly code addressing platform portability issues. G3ZOD, LZ1BB, OZ1PIF, and VK3SB have spend many hours helping to debug beta releases and prepare distribution packages. G3ZOD drafted most of Appendix D of the new User's Guide. Many thanks to all! -- 73, Joe, K1JT Dave (G0DJA)
[digitalradio] New Solar Cycle 24 Sunspot Group
Posted Thursday November 19, 2009 at http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o4.htm The cycle 24 sunspot group that I mentioned on November 18, 2009 has been numbered 11033 by the NOAA/SWPC. It is located near N17E20 and contains a beta magnetic signature capable of producing very small B class solar flares. As mentioned yesterday SIDC Belgium assigned it Catania #28. The old solar cycle 24 sunspot group #11029 has produced new sunspots and has been re-numbered 11033 by NOAA/SWPC. SIDC Belgium has given the sunspot group Catania 30. It is located near N21E47 and contains a beta magnetic signature capable of producing very small B class solar flares. The NOAA/SWPC sunspot number is 29 (the second highest so far for solar cycle 24) and the SIDC Belgium sunspot number is 30. The solar flux index (SFI) is 77.4. The new sunspot groups could push the SFI above 80 in coming days. This would raise the maximum usable frequency (MUF) of the F layer high enough to improve propagation conditions on 20, 17 and 15 meters.
