Jim,

The amateur radio service is NOT an emergency communications service
according to the FCC regulations?  I beg to differ! The very first section
of Part 97, the Basis and Purpose of the amateur service clearly states
that the amateur radio service has emergency communications as one of its
purposes.  

Specifically, paragraph 97.1(a) states, Recognition and enhancement of the
value of the amateur service to the public as a voluntary noncommercial
communication service, particularly with respect to providing emergency
communications.

Speaking of humility, please read the following from another reflector.
Get'er done.

73 Ross K9COX

Please join me in congratulating Phil on the first Mono port of the
SDRMAX-II GUI *and* QS1RServer to Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 2.6.24.20-rt kernel).

These two achievements are among the 11 breakthrough milestones for the
QuickSilver project.
-
QS1RServer and SDRMAX-II
project achievements

 * separation of DSP server and GUI using sockets architecture delivers
innovation for Internet connectivity and code portability

 * separation of panadapter and audio data USB end-points delivers
innovation that cuts CPU load, and leads to new display capabilities

 * panadapter widths selectable from 50Khz to 50Mhz

 * panadapter display is now flat as a board due to special FPGA code
enhancement

 * Center noise hump eliminated by clever mathematical algorithm in FPGA

 * Automated DC Offset calculation eliminates manual offset settings

 * Interoperability with the popular WinRad software.

 * 25khz to 50mhz panadapter bandwidth instantly selected by simple
slider control

 * onboard audio DAC implemented to totally simplify the audio chain and
reduce latency.

 * First QS1RServer port to Linux using Mono 1.9 July 26, 2008

 * First GUI port of SDRMAX-II to Linux using Mono 1.9 - July 27, 2008.

I agree -- sort of. And before someone rushes off to create yet  
another incompatible interface, it might be useful to see what already  
exists and see if we can come up with a way to use it.

One of the keys is to use encapsulation to transport the same messages  
regardless of the actual physical transport of bits. You may find that  
I2C is not particularly conducive to that model and requires some sort  
of application-specific gateway to do what you want to do in a  
flexible fashion.

This may involve the creation of a small controller box with a  
microcontroller to accept commands and give status on one side, and  
close relays, read pot values, etc., on the other. You might want to  
talk to the microcontroller using I2C but that seems really limited to  
me. I know that my preference would be to have an ethernet and an IP  
stack so that I can talk to that device from anywhere in the network.

When contemplating using a bus you need to think about for what  
purpose it was originally intended. Just because it is there and  
convenient doesn't necessarily move you along toward your intended goal.

Think of a smart contesting SDR

At the contesters forum this year at Dayton they were all zigged up about CW 
skimmer.  This will really get there undergarments in a perpetual wad.

Just think about it.  The control op just need to be in control of the radio, 
not actually operating it (e.g. repeaters) so you could setup your station, 
fire up a C/SDR contest application, control its operation via Wi-Fi enabled 
tablet computer and then just sit around on the beach with your friends in 
Aruba steaming oysters and drinking cold ones by the fire for 24 hours while 
you win first place high power all-band SO2R assisted.

Actually this is a pretty good opportunity to illustrate the difference
between the limited Cognitive Radio and the full-up one.

With the Big Bertha, bells-and-whistles version, the radio will *also* send
a text message informing the local liquor store when you're running low on
cold ones, and best of all, order up champagne when you've completed the
Sweep. All the limited Cognitive Radio can do is change bands by itself
occasionally :-)

To be a little on the serious side, though, I think the contesters who are
so up-in-arms are completely blind to the main trend.

What the technology does is kick up by dozens of notches the nature of the
interaction by contesters. Very few hams are going to have much interest
long-term in sitting back, drinking cold ones during a pointless exchange of
QSOs, year after year.

*However*.  Suppose what the cognitive technology does is increase the rate
of speed and breadth of the battlefield, so to speak. Suppose what the
technology does is make all the bands a panoramic playing board where you
can see and track, moment by moment, everything that your competition is
doing? Suppose contesting weren't just a stay-in-the-chair,
keep-up-the-QSO-rate exercise, but could become a moment-to-moment,
multiplayer, station-against-station game?

In short, the C/SDR technology is perfectly capable of turning a contest
from a long, solitary slog against attritition, to an action game with
hundreds if not thousands of players. That might be a frightening prospect
to some contesters too, but you can't say it's draining the interest out of
the sport :-)

Re: [Flexradio] New Model from FlexRadio?

2008-07-27 Thread Lee A Crocker
The Contest SDR will have far more capability.  The whole gig about contesting 
is probability and maximizing efficiencies and there now exist monte carlo 
engines that can run thousands of simulations and develop a distribution of 
forward looking likely scenarios, and can do a risk benefit analysis to help 
you make decisions.  It won't be you sitting on the beach at Aruba.  It will be 
the program analyzing what is available on each of several bands, analyzing the 
propagation and whether signals are building or receding, analyzing the 
rareness of the multiplier, analyzing the relative QRM environment and 
whether the station is running efficiently, and doing this for dozens or 
hundreds of potential contacts and then coming up with a schedule for you to 
run off these contacts while at the same time maintaining your run freq on a 
separate band.  The radio will have its ability to dynamically adjust the 
antenna for best forward gain in a particular
 direction on TX and best pattern or RX on receive (eg diversity).  The antenna 
system can look for best path eg skewed paths or long/short path. etc etc and 
it can do all this before you show up on freq to make the contact.  In my mind 
the LCD will be replaced with some kind of heads up display and the mouse will 
be replaced with something like a joystick and contesting will become something 
similar to being in a cockpit and dogfighting, or some other kind of game 
interface.  your feet could be controlling the run freq logging while your 
hands control racking up multipliers.  

This is why flexwire is so much more than just a bus to run some relays, and 
why it will be important to be able to distribute functionality across a 
network.  Flexwire is a master-slave/ master-master 2 way high speed 
(relatively) communications protocol.  I hope that complexity is recognized and 
implemented.   If the contest boys are kvetching about CW skimmer they better 
get out the KY.  The hand writing is on the wall.  Contesting will become a 
real test of skills and brain power, not just some joker with half a million 
invested in real estate towers aluminum and 4cx5000's.

What will happen is all the jokers with the above investment will get together 
and try to jigger the rules, like they will do with Skimmer.  They will try to 
do a statistical analysis to try and flag non random randomness in scores.  
What will happen then is people will figure out how to beat those score 
checking programs, since the radio can be made to schedule its contacts in such 
a way that beats the score checkers and eventually we will be free as the 
scores of the big iron men fall to dust.  Remember when the Fosburry flop 
came on the scene in the '68 Olympics?  The better mouse trap was built.  High 
jumpers have been flopping ever since.  The future is so bright I need shades.

I just got up from my nap to see the cognitive contesting business and I
will admit that something that complex offers more than a few interesting
aspects but you've not considered the *missing link*!   I see precious few
cognitive operators and an amazing number of ideas that I don't understand.
How, for example, can you claim to have an emergency communications system
when no one has ever talked to any of the good folks who are going to be
served?   Or what can anyone be thinking of when linking systems that are
inherently limited as far as communications volume is concerned thus further
choking a system that is already limited?   Yet, everywhere I turn this is
the amateur radio *norm.*   If you aren't careful people will start passing
us off as nothing but another elite group.   Of course we are but I know my
grandmother wouldn't approve of saying it!

 Oh, well, you can be sure there will be contesting. It's like, around the
 world, give a few kids a few square meters of open ground and something to
 kick, and there *will* be soccer.

 However, with amateur radio contesting, the prospects especially for
 technological enhancements are very enticing. For example, with
 authenticated logging of location (GPS)  and instantaneous power, the idea
 of weighted distance scoring (distance between stations divided by power
in
 watts) is not only practical but leads to a very interesting set of
 strategic challenges, especially if you can tailor power to optimize score
 for a given QSO. Now, suppose all the stations had digital subcarriers
that
 sent their own values (coordinates, power) with each transmission. On six
 meters, say, you have some entertaining decisions to make over what
stations
 to go after, in what order, and at what power, knowing full well that the
 openings are of very limited duration...

 Of course the thing that would ensure the survival of amateur contesting
 into perpetuity would be open wagering, but *that* would never happen,
would
 it?

Two reasons:

(1) So it can be decoded automatically by a simple demod, rather than (say)
an open-speaker-set voice transcription, by a program sucking in all
available signals in the passband

(2) So you only need to capture a partial transmission to get all the info
-- say 80 bits at 300bps - a little more then 1/4 second, repeatedly. out
of any transmitted segment.

The method is a little stickier when CW is involved :-)

Amateur radio isn't intended for Emergency Communications (at least,  
that's not one of the reasons in Part 97). It just happens to be used  
for it, particularly for non-emergency tactical comms portrayed as  
rehearsals for real emergencies.

This is not to say that hams don't provide useful services.. but a lot  
of that service is something in Part 97: skilled ops.. which I take to  
mean the ability to get an antenna strung up in a tree because the  
storm just blew the tower down, etc.


However, tinkering with C/SDR is definitely one of the Part 97  
things.. improving the state of the radio art.

Re: [Flexradio] New Model from FlexRadio?

Impressive, can you point me to some description of what VR code is?  I have 
the SDR-1000.

 No new physical radio, per se.  When you match the new VR code with the
 FLEX-5000 and the SDR-1000, you will have new software defined radios that
 are going to be very different from what you have today with PowerSDR 1.x.
 That is what was promised to have running for Dayton 09.  In the software
 defined domain of programmers, the hardware is not really the radio, it is
 just a source and destination for I/Q data streams for some black box to
 make RF out of.

 the highly-esteemed new architecture is really just some old

2008-07-26 Thread Robert Dennison
Well Tim,

I followed your advice and all went well till I got to Frank Brickle's
presentation.   I'm sure that Frank added the necessary explanation
during the presentation. 

Please if we could just have the overloaded 3 letter acronyms elaborated:
 How about

FSM, C/SDR, VR, GBG, AFAP, nix?

Of course I can guess, and in truth some are technically defined during
the presentation but not the literal abbreviations.  How 'bout sharing
the words behind the letters?

Thanks in advance
Rob
AB7CF.

  No new physical radio, per se.  When you match the new VR code 
 with the
  FLEX-5000 and the SDR-1000, you will have new software defined 
 radios 
  that
  are going to be very different from what you have today with 
 PowerSDR 
  1.x.
  That is what was promised to have running for Dayton 09.  In the 
 software
  defined domain of programmers, the hardware is not really the 
 radio, it 
  is
  just a source and destination for I/Q data streams for some black 
 box to
  make RF out of.

  New Radio? Please step up and speak into the microphone, sir. 
 :-)
 
  Frank, AB2KT said-
   Sooner than you might think. We are moving very fast now 
 towards an
  earlier
  exposure of alpha code for the new radio than we'd previously 
 announced
  (Dayton next).
