I ran a few tests to see just how long it really takes for sending a document via a digital data program such as WinDRM. If you had a good path and probably at least a 10 db S/N ratio, the transmission time for my test document of 29 K was only about two minutes. The test file is a two page do

If you haven't done so yet, checking your BIOS would be a good next step. Often, the AC97 audio is set to "auto" which will disable the onboard audio chipset if a PCI audio device is detected. Changing the to "enable" or "on" may do the trick for you. 73/YI9VFF - Brian On 11/27/06, Kevin O'Ror

Linux has suported multiple soundcards in all it's distros for years. The most usual way is by adressing them as /dev/dsp /dev/dsp1 /dev/dsp2 etc but you can also adress the induvidual parts of the soundcards directly in the latests distros as /dev/snd/C0D0d where the number after C is the card,

I think you are correct. Text emissions have some sort of code which indicates the character to be transmitted. Such codes are Morse, Baudot, ASCII, and Varicode to name a few. Digital facsimile is pixilated and the pixel's intensity is represented numerically as in bitmap images. Pixels ar

Jon, I have no idea about DSTAR, but did do some path simulator testing with WinDRM and the latest variants as well as the AOR fast modem. Nothing serious, just some informal testing from PC-to-PC. The modes were tested for sensitivity and the ability to fight ionospheric distortion. Some QRM
