Currently there are 25 MP3's on the BARTG website and they include ALE, DominoEX, Olivia and MT63. The DRM sound is messed-up. They got the feldhell-type text messages instead of a drm signal.

MP3 Recordings of Amateur Radio Data Modes The British Amateur Radio Teledata Group (BARTG) has made available MP3s of the sounds of various Digital Modes. With the proliferation of different Amateur Radio digital modes in recent years, it can be difficult for the newcomer to identify what

[digitalradio] VHF/UHF Winlink vs D-Star EMail Only

2007-12-19 Thread Bill P.
I'm interested in hearing from folks who have hands on experience and who have evaluated both Winlink Email and D-Star email for EmComm. I've implemented a small 'discovery' Winlink Station for Emcomm email which has worked 100% but I want to know more about advantages and disadvantages of

Quite a few emergency planners are counting on the internet staying operational except in the immediate disaster area. As an example, our ARRL Section leader wants members to move all digital to Winlink 2000 and is focusing most resources to developing an interlinked repeater system for voice

A perspective I have mentioned before focuses on the situation when a communications emergency occurs. This is when normal means of communications are incapable of handling the traffic load. This perspective focuses not on whether infrastructure fails but whether it can sustain a load. There are

I dont think that anyone believes that you can completely kill off the Internet in its entirity; however, certainly certain sections/rather large geographical areas could loose connectivity for several hours even for perhaps a day. The question is what do amateur radio operators do during that

Those are good and insightful questions. I would not depend on the Internet working. While certain data centers are hardened the average user will not have access to those benefits. We learned in the last NYC black out that the telephone company is no longer maintaining generators and they

I tend toward having solutions to the more extreme situations, but I am probably more of an exception. With our summer flood disaster, our immediate area did not have a communications emergency, but it could have happened. Across the Mississippi River in SE MN, they did have worse conditions.

Ric, You have discovered the lost band...6M. Well for that matter 10M and 6M FM. Going back to my LMR (at the time just commercial 2-way radio) dispatch days, motorola had a formula that said two stations running 30 watts at 30 ft could operate 30 miles. 15 miles to a mobile and that was in
