[digitalradio] Re: Mine Survivor is a Ham!

Thanks for posting this. I suspect my neighbor across the street from me is directly involved with this mine survivor ham because of his position within the hospital. Once I talk to my neighbor, maybe some of us can even more directly get best wishes out to him from the ham community. Right now ou

[digitalradio] Preferred PC-to- Rig Interface?

Sorry for the crossposting but the Amateur Radio digital mode brain-pool is scattered across several lists thus making it necessary to crosspost a generalized question such as this. I will be using a Yaesu FT-890AT for digital modes. I am interested in SSTV as well as trying out many digital mode

[digitalradio] Re: [Sstv-atv] Preferred PC-to- Rig Interface?

I do have some of those circuit designs saved in my bookmarks but really need some real-world reports from Hams using specific circuits across multiple modes so I am not spending time I don't have right now building and testing several circuits none of which are reliable. I really want to be able

Re: [digitalradio] Preferred PC-to- Rig Interface?

For these mode PSK31, PSK63, MFSK16,Olivia,Chip64,you can use a sound card interface, I use the Rascal fpr severial years with no problems. For PACTOR & AMTOR a multi mode TNC loke the PK232 is requireed because of timing,also Packet will operate better, the other modes THROB, ALE I have no

Build you own. Does the job just a well as any of them. You save some cash also.   73 Gary WB6BNE - Original Message - From: kd4e To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Se

Does anyone know where I can find a packet site in maryland. I live in FM28 and am using mixw but for some reason I cant find anything on 2 or 6 meters and 70 cm is just plain dead. Any help would be real nice. Thanks. KB3LZV Need a Digital mode QSO? Connect to telnet://208.15.25.196/ Ot

Re: [digitalradio] Preferred PC-to- Rig Interface?

1.There is a nice article in  Jan 2006 QST. 2.Most of the  sound card programs have circuit diagrams in  the help files. 3. Use your search engine on computer. Try (Interface) and go from there.   If you look at  a few circuits, you will see they are similar. You will see a couple of i

Re: [digitalradio] Mine Survivor is a Ham!

Um Folks... If "WE" are Ham Radio Operators then why are not using NTS to send RADIOGRAMS? There are 35 hams in Philippi WV including KC8VKZ. I believe the best message to send (per the ARRL at http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/forms/fsd3.html ) would be: "ARRL SIXTY EIGHT" via NTS. Just anoth

[digitalradio] PSK31 net on 20M

While tuning around near 14070 this PM, I encountered what looked to be a DX 'list' in progress. It turned out to be a net on PSK31, at about 14071.2. The NCS was an Arizona station, with a signal as wide as a six-lane highway, and looked like one on the Waterfall. IMD was -13. I never could se

That is true John. Another option is to access the IRLP system via 2m to one of the three IRLP nodes in WV. NodeCallCitySt Freq. 4688KC8KXI Clarksburg WV 443. 4873KC8NDZ Charleston WV 145.4300 8550AA8CC Buckhannon WV
