Software for the Narrow Band Emergency Messaging System (NBEMS), is now available for testing. This system maximizes the use of radio amateurs for providing emergency communications. The system works with most soundcard-equipped computers and is completely contained on a "Live" CD (EMCpup), base

[digitalradio] Re: Specification of Frequency for Net Announcement

2008-12-31 Thread hteller
After years of supporting using "true RF frequency" for PSK31, I have given up, because too many people still get confused trying to calculate the "true RF frequency". So for our net, I now say, "Set your transceiver dial frequency to 144.144, USB, and net control will be at 1500 Hz tone freque

Hi Tony, The original reason we went to DominoEx instead of MFSK16 or PSK63 was because at VHF (we were originally using SSB), transceiver drift, in addition to multipath, is a major problem and MFSK16 is much more critical for mistuning or drift (on SSB) than DominoEx. But, when using FM, freq

Tony, we did extensive testing this morning on 70cm between PSK63F and DominoEx 4, and DominoEx4, even under the severe, fast Doppler shift almost always on that band, was significantly better copy than PSK63F when signals were just over the noise. The minimum required S/N of PSK63F compared to

[digitalradio] ROS on UHF

2010-03-21 Thread hteller
Extensive testing of ROS on the air on UHF have now been concluded. Unfortunately, ROS totally fails for UHF communications, in either 16 baud, or 1 baud variants, and using either the HF or EME channel. Even with ROS metric readings between -1 dB and -8 dB (i.e. relatively strong signals), R
