Re: [digitalradio] Re: How to -- FDMDV Digital Voice Over HF
Leslie Elliott wrote: Hi - New to FDMDV. I am trying to set up my rig for the mode, and can receive OK, but so far my set-up won't let me transmit. I'm using a FT-920 and a Signalink SL 1+ connected to the data port on the 920. I am using a outboard SoundBlaster USB soundcard, connected to the audio in and out of the Signalink. This set-up works FB for all the other digital modes, but since this mode requires 2 soundcards, I'm having trouble seeing how I can use this for DV. I have a non-USB computer mike, and if I connect it to the computers onboard soundcard, how does that audio get to the outboard USB soundcard ? Maybe I need to get a USB computer Mike? No, go to the setup and choose the inputs and outputs for each card. I am using one onboard soundcard and another PCI one. Anyone using this set-up, please let me know how you are connected. I've tried using the on-board soundcard as soundcard 1, and the USB soundcard as soundcard 2, per the directions given, but that doesn't work. Thanks for any help. I'm getting old (72) and my brain doesn't work as good as it might have at an earlier age!

[digitalradio] What happened to the TNC?
I used to operate packet radio actively. The last time I had a station up and running was about 2003. BTW, I put together my first packet station in the Fall of 1987. Back then I used my TRS-80 Model 100 laptop and my trusty MFJ 1270 Terminal Node Controller. Imagine my dismay when I went to MFJ's website and discovered that they don't even make a TNC anymore :( I just received a Model 100 in the mail today that I ordered from Rick at Club 100, http://www.club100.org/catalog.html So I have my dedicated computer for packet but now I need a TNC. Does anyone have any ideas about building a TNC using modern parts/technology? I have a desktop PC and I can use my sound card for packet but I prefer operating packet in a dedicated stand alone system. 73's Alan

A couple of months ago I purchased a Byonics TT4 kit. I've been really pleased with it. I don't know if that dinosaur you bought has any software that will talk to a KISS mode TNC though. Tim N9PUZ

Imagine my dismay when I went to MFJ's website and discovered that they don't even make a TNC anymore :( The internet, with unlimited downloads and uploads, happened. In other parts of the world, where there is capacity limited access, innovation has continued. Perhaps that will change now in the US, given that TimeWarner is testing a capacity limited model in Beaumont TX. Hopefully, all the carriers will pick up this model motivating packet radio's return to US ham radio. There are modems still available here in the US. Universal Radio provides an easy list: http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/tnc.html If you don't mind proprietary pactor III living in your modem, SCS has a viable one: http://www.scs-ptc.com/controller.html#ptc2pro And here's another interesting one from across the water: http://www.symek.com/g/tnc3s.html (I personally like this one, and would buy it, but I seem to live in a vhf packet radio deadzone. What's the point of having technology that isn't used??) I, too, used packet radio eons ago. My poor old KAM requires a firmware upgrade and, alas, kantronics no longer provides support for a 20 year old modem. I have a desktop PC and I can use my sound card for packet but I prefer operating packet in a dedicated stand alone system. 73's Alan cheers, robert
