Jose, the program owner and developer, has said that he intends to add the option to select the sound card from within the program, but I think he's been busy with a couple of other issues. Let's face it, the 1st ever recorded QSO using ROS was completed on the 18th of this month, just 6 days ago, so I think we, the users, do need to be a little bit patient. HI. Dave (G0DJA)
RE: [digitalradio] Re: A new Mode !
Hi Jose Any indication when selectable soundcards will become a reality? So far unable to try ROS out here, as I use multiple soundcards - all digital operation through a non-default card. I have too much set up to want to mess with that!!! 73 de BARRY MURRELL ZS2EZ KF26ta - Port Elizabeth, South Africa Member : SARL - ARRL EPC#0558 DMC#1690 OMC#010 WCC#030 DXCC(mixed)#41,146 DXCC(RTTY)#1,916 DXCC(phone)#34,990 DXCC(CW)#11,714 DXCC 20m,17m,15m WAS(RTTY)#538 WAZ(RTTY)#185 WAE-I(mixed)#72 WAZS(mixed)#214 AAA#1569 AS ZR6DXB: VUCC(50MHZ)#1,334 UKSMG WAE(Silver)#75 UKSMG AFRICA#22 WAC (Satellite) Website : www.zs2ez.co.za http://www.zs2ez.co.za/ _ From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:digitalra...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of nietorosdj Sent: 19 February 2010 02:50 PM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: [digitalradio] Re: A new Mode !

I am listening and cqing on 14.080mhz USB (dial frequency) Any one else there. Also suggested frequencies please so we can all monitor the same. I.e. What best for inter G etc on 7mhz / 3mhz etc Looks interesting though. Another though, what is the best input volume, the waterfall doesn't seem very sensitive with the same rx vol as say mixW. Is -13db ok or should it be higher.

Re: [digitalradio] Re: A new Mode !
Just submitted this to Jose on his ROS blog page. What are your thoughts people please. Thanks for a quick reply Jose. There will be others who can recommend exact frequencies. I understand about not being swamped in the past lol, but the sub bands do kind of work. E.g. You'd never see an MT63 signal down at 14 075. I was thinking along the lines of just above the olivia 1000 frequencies. IE above the beacons and olivia but this may only give 1 spot frequency before you hit 14.112 14.101 14.112 is for unattended but is also used by olivia and winmor I think, there certainly wouldn't be any rtty in the way lol. Just thought id throw the suggestion out here and see what others say. I am by no means an expert on band allocations hi hi could you mention this on the yahoo group too Jose and there will be some ideas for sure. Toby MM0TOB
Re: [digitalradio] Re: A new Mode !
Hello Toby, Your suggestions sound fine with me. I'm sorry that I missed the second M during our QSO. The band was just not there. I'm wondering? How wide is this mode?

Re: [digitalradio] Re: A new Mode !
Hi Glenn, yes the band wasn't there and I have a faulty power line pole that they refuse to fix, it's about 200m from the qth and splatters S8 on 20m until it rains, (then all quiet and I can hear a pin drop in the south pacific lol I WISH) Well it occurred that this mode 2250hz wide is a little big to play in between the rtty, olivia 500, ale etc I see Andy has an idea too and I can see your point to Andy. I just think at 080 we will all get stomped on. I notice another chap asking about the old 109 MT63 frequency which is kind of where I was going as I haven't seen any mt63 for ages. Andy I understand the wanting to keep it all close together etc but I cant see how well it'd work. If we could make an unofficial experimental mode slot ?? Keep the suggestions coming though. I cant be the only one here that has noticed that RTTY station at 14.081 - 2 all day so far lol Regards And sorry we didn't quite make it last time Glenn. Toby ---Original Message--- From: Glenn L.

Hi Toby, I have to say that, given the 'width' of the transmitted signal that it would probably be better to move up to the area that the wider digi-modes use. As with all transmissions, you should listen before transmitting to make sure you are not clobbering someone else. However, it seems that courtesy isn't always given at times as I hear/see various modes and people transmitting on top of each other and, at times, even people using the same mode transmitting right on top of others. There were some bizarre transmissions on JT65a on 20M this morning... Dave (G0DJA)

Gary wrote: How do I select a specific sound card? Some of us are using external USB sound card devices for digital operation. At present it uses the Windows default soundcard, although this may change in future releases. So, you will need to open Control Panel, then open Sounds and Audio Devices and click on the Audio tab. There you will find a pair of drop down menus called Sound playback and Sound recording. Select the card you want to use, click Apply and close Sounds and Audio Devices and run RIO again. Now it should be using the sound card you selected. Personally I'm not keen on this system but the author (Sorry, I've not latched onto the authors name and I guess it was mentioned in an early post and I didn't pick up on it) did post a message here, when he uploaded V1.6.2 with the COM port additions, that selectable sound cards would come in a later release.
