Hello Patrick, OK, I will join that group as well. Thanks for your help. 73 de Phil GU0SUP [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [digitalradio] An observation
Hello Phil, It's not the normal working. There must be something not nominal. I will send you a test version directly to your mail address for looking at your sound card configuration. Note: for Multipsk issue, it's better to put the information in the MultipskYahoo group. 73 Patrick - Original Message - From: Phil Cooper To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2007 7:41 PM Subject: [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
Re: [digitalradio] An observation on Olivia
Were it 20 or 15 it could be that he was copying GA via long path -- now that would mess with the signal even if it were the same signal strength! I remember a 15 or 20M QSO on a vertical at the old Club station and the guy said "Talk for a couple of minutes, I want to try something." When he came back he said "Thought so, my beam was in the wrong direction and we were working long path." Since I was on a vertical I had no way of knowing!

Re: [digitalradio] An observation on Olivia
When the 80 meter band goes long you may be far enough from the FL station so that you can copy OK, but too close to the GA station. If the signal strength was about the same from both stations, then there could be ionospheric conditions that may be affecting the GA signal. Olivia is generally pretty resistant to most interference and the 16/500 mode uses the slower 31.25 baud rate which means the symbols are reasonably far apart for many 80 meter ISI problems, but it is possible that that path has severe multipath. Even though the FoF2 is way down at night in our area (not always as low in yours), I am barely able to copy stations 150 miles away, but do OK with stations much farther away. Our CW nets can barely function due to being so close. If they could only move to 160, they would have much stronger signals. Last night I called CQ on 160 on 1.808 + 1500 Hz and had a station come back to me but I could not print him and yet he apparently could print me OK. I told him to go to MFSK16 and I was able to print him to get his call. He may not have been patient enough to keep trying it, and must have thought that I was not copying him because then I finally locked in on him. I never used to have any problem with MFSK modes, but lately I find it really difficult to get locked in and have found that I often have to adjust my RIT for -20 Hz. I tried calibrating my sound card but I must have some kind of offset problem. I would like to try working more with DominoEX, especially with FEC, but it has not been easy to find anyone else. Calling on DEX11 seems to not be successful on bring up anyone on 160, even with RSID enabled. 73, Rick, KV9U >> >>Right now I'm copying a QSO where the stations are using Olivia >>16/500 on 80M.
