Re: [digitalradio] Linux capable digital interfaces

2007-08-28 Thread Howard Brown
Since this is for occasional use only, consider

using VOX to key the rig.  I am doing this on

sound card modes successfully using gMFSK.



In my experience to date I have had trouble 

only with RFSM2400, which required me to

reduce my VOX delay on the TS-2000 to less

than 1/2 second.  This is the only sound card

program I have used which is TOR.

BTW, I use an old Rigblaster M8, still works fine.

Andu,

I connect the computer to my TS-480 directly with no interface on the  
input and output audio using fldigi with no problems. I can use  
either the comm port or the usb-rs232 adapter for keying the rig. I  
have used this setup for psk31, RTTY and pskmail. I think the TS-2000  
is similar to the 480 so everything is connected to the DATA din jack.

Re: [digitalradio] Linux capable digital interfaces

2007-08-28 Thread Jose A. Amador

Andy,

I am using two transformers, 0ne 1:1 ratio, 600 ohms (RX), and another
10 kohms : 600 ohms (TX), plus a TIL111 optocoupler for PTT from COM 1 
(should say /dev/ttyS0...) using the RTS line to close the PTT contact 
thru the optocoupler's transistor. It has worked well with fldigi and  gmfsk

Maybe something more elaborate could be necesaary for other modes, but 
as the saying goes, there is nothong more permanent than a temporary 
solution.

My TX attenuator is the 10k:600 ohms transformer. (Scrounging pays off 
in the long run...)

73,

Jose, CO2JA
