Re: [digitalradio] Software defined receivers, versus transceivers, for digital modes ?
The goal is also for DM780 to take data from the SDR console and use it to display / monitor up to 200kHz of bandwidth. Lets not forget the opportunities here to even transmit with wider bandwidths then before. There are likely both weak signal and faster data realms here we can finally begin to explore... For a starter, how about a 10 KHz version of the QPSKx25 mode... 73 Bill - WA7NWP

Re: [digitalradio] Software defined receivers, versus transceivers, for digital modes ?
The Softrock radios make me a little nervouse because their availability seems sporadic and their website makes you wonder if they are still a full busines. Is the V9 mentioned in this thread a multiband? Ideally hams would be beter off with one SDR that covers 80-10 rather thans several for each band. Also,I would like to avoid kits.

Re: [digitalradio] SOFTWARE?
Maybe one of the latest versions of Hamcom, or Mix 2.19 or 2.21 could be configured to make your boxes run with a PC and PC software. I did some 12 years ago, using a KPC 2 as dumb modem and homebrew FSK modems (TU's) on my old 386 and 486's using the serial and parallel ports. Don't ask me about the specifics right now, as it has been a long time to remember it all in detail. Just browse the help and docs of Hamcom and the old DOS Mix, and your boxes manuals I had particularly good results with a homebrew dual AM demodulator for FSK using some ideas borrowed from the KAM modem and the AN-93. I ran AMTOR and PACTOR using TERMAN 93 and packet using BPQAX25. Filter's alignment and a suitably good post demodulator low pass filter are certainly important. So your equipment may be out of fashion but not useless if it is still in good working shape. But it will be hard to find anyone on AMTOR or plain old pactor in the HF bands, and packet is quite scarce too. 73 HNY, Jose, CO2JA --- Siegfried Jackstien wrote: you can get an old pc for free sometimes ... just hold your eyes open commodore c64 ... yes it is really old gear happy2009 dg9bfc - Original Message - *From:* Michael Mihailovic mailto:vk...@bigpond.com *To:* digitalradio@yahoogroups.com mailto:digitalradio@yahoogroups.com *Sent:* Saturday, January 03, 2009 10:13 PM *Subject:* [digitalradio] SOFTWARE?

Re: [digitalradio] Software Link for WinDRM?
There has been a 'war of sorts at the former Windrm Google Discussion group and it no longer exists. A new one has been formed entitled digital voice. Most of the download FDMDV links appear to have a re-direct to the new Google group. When you apply to join the group, you are warned that you are not welcome if you want to discuss MELP . MELP is a patented codec that works well in WINDRM and FDMDV but Texas Instruments owns the copyright to plain MELP and TI , Microsoft , and a group of others own the rights to MELPe. It appears the FDMDV owner cost miffed about the discussion about the legality of the software with MELP. Cesco worked hard on this fine application, it is sad that the distribution appears to be limited to a USA web site that is occasionally subjected its self to erratic behavior and on several occasions has got in to copyright trouble.

Re: [digitalradio] Software for the digital ham that multi-tasks while sleeping ?
Andy, I believe that somehow it has been already done and is hidden to most of us. How ? I have not tried to run the recent Linux ham apps from the command line, but the cron can be used to start and stop tasks in one minute intervals. You can invoke either applications or scripts with arguments. Years ago (some 8+ years ago), I used the FBB cron to switch bands with an automatic antenna tuner / switch, that even allowed remote QSY of the BBS with a simple CAT program I wrote for the FT-757. I am crossposting this reply to both linuxham* lists and the WSJT Group, because that even when I have not done it, somebody might already have done it and might comment about this. 73, Jose, CO2JA -- Andrew O'Brien wrote: If you are like me, there is SO MUCH happening in the amateur radio digital world that it is hard to keep up with , more fun to be had than can be squeezed in to 24 hours.

WinWarbler can decode all PSK31 or PSK63 QSOs within any 3.5 khz band segment, determine the stations involved, and maintain a Stations Heard window like this: http://www.dxlabsuite.com/winwarbler/Heard.jpg WinWarbler can be configured insert station's heard into SpotCollector's database, thereby enabling long-term capture and analysis.

Hi Joaquin, For Mac, try http://www.machamradio.com/index.html. Cocoa-modem is the best digi-mode app around for OS X. Xastir is great for APRS. For Linux, the 0.7pre version gMFSK is probably the best thing going at the moment, covering Olivia and CW in addition to the usual suspects (psk, hell, etc). The 'stable' 0.6 release doesn't cover those additional modes. You may have to compile it yourself, I can't recall (hint: don't bother if your running a 64-bit kernel).
