Hello all, I've done extensive testing with the NBEMS/FLDIGI software and it just keeps getting better and better. The latest version (3.03) now holds the 64 bit interleave (long) setting after program restarts. The latest version of the software can be downloaded here: http://www.w1hkj. com Also, I have a yahoo group setup for sharing information on the use of NBEMS/FLDIGI/ FLARQ and for setting skeds with ops in the Western Pennsylvania area, but anyone, anywhere is welcome to join. Here's some basic info on the setup and tuning procedures for the use of MT63 on NBEMS/FLDIGI: NBEMS/FLDIG - MT63 1K/Long Interleave - Instructions for USB ops (recommended USB frequencies: 3.590, 7.090, 14.109): ### SETUP ### 1) Go to Configure/Modems and click the MT63 tab. 2) Click 64 bit interleave long, save configuration, then close (on vs 3.03 this setting is now saved after restarts of the program). 3) Go to Op Mode/MT63, arrow over and click on MT63 - 1000. ### TUNING ### 1) Tune transceiver to desired HF frequency (always us USB and make sure all DSP, compression and noise blanker settings are disabled). 2) All stations should always center on 1000 Hz on the waterfall (MT63 always uses a bottom freq on 500 Hz on transmit. When you initialize the MT63 modem, the waterfall tx will be set to this default). 3) Click tune button in the upper right corner of the program and let it transmit for about 10 seconds. 4) RX stations center on the received 1000 Hz tone by tuning the receiver VFO. 5) Transmit and receive some text to make sure all stations are tuned and decoding properly. NBEMS/FLDIG - MT63/2K Long Interleave - Instructions for FM 6m/2m/70cm ops: ### SETUP ### 1) Go to Configure/Modems and click the MT63 tab. 2) Click 64 bit interleave long, save configuration, then close (on vs 3.03 this setting is now saved after restarts of the program). 3) Go to Op Mode/MT63, arrow over and click on MT63 - 2000. ### TUNING ### 1) Tune transceiver to desired FM frequency (make sure all DSP, compression and noise blanker settings are disabled and stations operating under weak signal conditions should open the squelch on the transceiver) . 2) All stations should always center on 1500 Hz on the waterfall (MT63 always uses a bottom freq on 500 Hz on transmit. When you initialize the MT63 modem, the waterfall tx will be set to this default). 3) Transmit and receive some text to make sure all stations are decoding properly. Assuming that all soundcards are properly calibrated, no tuning should be necessary. -Dave, KB3FXI
