Re: [digitalradio] Caller ID in Multipsk
Hello Andy, > assume that CALL ID in MULTIPSK using Reed Solomon ID is robust than > WSPR , but I am wondering just how much less ? If WSPR is able to detect of -25 dB, the Call ID is only able to detect -13 dB signals (it begins to decode from -18 dB but not below). However, as WSPR it is a free-error transmission. As it is short (3.3 s), it's much more to introduce oneself (Call sign + Locator). It could be used for beacons alone or to test a mode (Throbx, Olivia) inside a sequence... in this way: CQ CQ CQ CQ CQ CQ DE F6CTE F6CTE +K The program switches to TX, sends the Call ID then the RS ID (to make switch the other Ham to the desired mode ) and a message. Afterwards, the program switches to RX. The other Ham must leave RS ID and Call ID buttons pushed. Note: the Call ID structure is fix now, but there are still some small bugs. 73 Patrick - Original Message - From: "Andrew O'Brien" To: Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 3:49 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Caller ID in Multipsk > The caller ID function in the latest test version of Multipsk works > very well.

Re: [digitalradio] Caller ID in Multipsk
dear patrick is it possible to put the dial frequence in the log??? would be a way to auto upload the spotted callsigns to a cluster or something like that greetz dg9bfc sigi - Original Message - From: Patrick Lindecker To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 4:41 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Caller ID in Multipsk Hello Andy, > assume that CALL ID in MULTIPSK using Reed Solomon ID is robust than > WSPR , but I am wondering just how much less ?

Re: [digitalradio] Caller ID in Multipsk
Hello Sigi, The dial frequency is not automatically available except if you use a CAT system. The "Freq MHz" QSO field is filled by the user. What I can do is: * fill the Call sign and Locator in the QSO fields with the Call ID information so to give the possibility to export the information through SpotCollector (DXLab), * add this dial frequency information to the CALL_ID.TXT file (if the field is filled), for memorization Better to speak of this on the Multipsk group. 73 Patrick - Original Message - From: Siegfried Jackstien To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 7:41 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Caller ID in Multipsk dear patrick is it possible to put the dial frequence in the log??? would be a way to auto upload the spotted callsigns to a cluster or something like that greetz dg9bfc sigi - Original Message - From: Patrick Lindecker To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 4:41 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Caller ID in Multipsk Hello Andy, > assume that CALL ID in MULTIPSK using Reed Solomon ID is robust than > WSPR , but I am wondering just how much less ?
