Yikes, Walt! You could do some really creative CQ pictures for SSTV, not to mention DRM with that callsign and phonetcs. Barring any limations in the imagination, of course.GRIN Howard W6IDS Richmond, IN - Original Message - From: Walt DuBose To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com

[digitalradio] PSK and RTTY decode bult in to rigs

2007-01-27 Thread Andrew O'Brien
I wonder about the performance of PSK31 and RTTY decoding that is built in to the firmware of rigs like the Icom 746 Pro. Does anyone use their rig in this way? How does the decoding perform, is it useful having in in a rig or is it just a bell and whistle that no-one really uses? -- Andy

I am wondering if anyone is using some of the PC's that are being developed for various vehicular uses and apparently can run on regular 12 vdc power? Example: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS3912331415.html These are not low cost, but appear to be very compact and could also be used for

[digitalradio] Audio attenuation using Rascal

2007-01-27 Thread Dave
Has anyone else using a Buxcomm Rascal noticed a lot of attenuation on the receive audio? When I installed the Rascal, I immediately had to increase the volume level on the sound card to almost maximum, and had to change from Line In to Mic In in order for the applications to hear the rig. I'm

Andy, In my opinion, that feature is in a gray area, between useful and practical. I do believe this feature in the Icom has helped motivate many hams to give RTTY a try. Once they see the messages being exchanged, it becomes an incentive to investigate what is needed to participate. I suppose

2007-01-27 Thread Dave Bernstein
The IC-7800 can encode and decode both RTTY and PSK. Tuning a PSK signal using the small waterfall display is not easy, but is possible; RTTY is much more practical. I will eventually extend WinWarbler to treat transceivers with RTTY decoding capability like an external modem, providing

It seems to work FB except for the attenuation, and that's not really a problem. Glad you got the 232. Was unsure of you address. Sent you a couple of emails but never got a response. Took a chance that QRZ was correct hi! 73 Dave KB3MOW Andrew O'Brien wrote: -Glad you have the Rascal

Dave, I use a RASCAL with my ArgoV and it works great and have no Level issues. I'm wondering if the unit you got was specific for your rig. That is, there have been a few different models of RASCAL over the years and I thought there might be more than an cable change between rigs. Also, I believe

Although I wish I could use the RTTY filters in my ICOM 756 Pro 2 without having to set up some kind of keying for FSK, I only have AFSK set up since it runs all the digital sound card modes in a similar fashion. I actually very rarely use RTTY anymore as I considered it obsolete for my

Peter, Your not alone. I don't live far from you and despite having directional antennas (including a 5 element monobander on 20 meters) I too have a lack of over-the-pole Q's in my log compared to non-polar paths. Generally speaking, I think part of the HF polar mystery is the shorter window
