Re: [digitalradio] Why PACTOR for WL2K ?

2006-06-04 Thread John Becker
Howard my point was that one need not spend $1K to get on pactor unless they are looking to get on II or III. I have no activity with WL2K other then I do copy some of the traffic. At this time I have the PK-232 on a FT-840 parked on 7075. The PTC is on the FT-847. 2nd FT-847 is used for

Re: [digitalradio] 16 bit sampling?

Would anyone know if it's possible to use less than 16 bit sampling and still be able to decode digital modes such as RTTY and PSK? I don't mean the sample rate, such as 11025 used in MixW, I mean the digital sampling of the actual audio. the less bits you use, the more the quantization

If Linux became more popular, it might be possible to see more PSKmail connections that use ARQ PSK63, but I don't see that happening any time soon. Even though very slow, it is dramatically narrower than the Pactor modes and would cause much less interference to other hams. 73, Rick,

Had a nice QSO with AB6MB in Antioch, CA this evening. PSK31 right about 10,141.20.Don't hear much activity on 30.Of course we were bombarded by one of the automatic QRM machines, but worked through it.Not sure if it was Pactor I, II, or III. Could have been IV or V for all I care. Lots of
