Re: [digitalradio] sound card adjustment - once or once for each program

2007-05-28 Thread Simon Brown
Hi Paul, Most software will sync with the incoming system and this will compensate for any errors in the soundcard clock. Modern cards such as the SoundBlaster Live should not really need adjusting, to be honest I would forget about this with your card. Re: 24-bit - again most software only

Paul, When you are on CW, many rigs will have an offset. I have an Argonaut V, and, as you noted, you can set the offset tone for your preference. That way you are zero beat with the other station and yet you can adjust your sidetone to what works best for you. With RTTY, the frequency

What is all comes down to is the fact that if EVERY op spots the freq, as seen on the waterfall, then there would be no question about where the station spotted actually is. Every software package that I have used for digital ops has worked the same way. If you spot 14.0713567 or whatever, and I

What speed do you have in mind? 1000 to 1500 letters per minute; 200 to 300 wors per minute. The word PARIS used as a standard for measuring words per minute contains 50 code elements so one word per second, 60wpm, is 50 baud. Right; the 'standard' formula; BW = 4 x wpm, (e.g., 200wpm =

I guess it comes down to the majority of us not working Hell, or M63. There may be a lot that do, but I hardly if ever see a spot on those modes. As to RTTY, I have 227 countries, and also 135 on PSK. The majority of spots on RTTY are almost spot on, and I am guessing that what I see on the

That's fine Danny but I'll say it once again just for you - I have no waterfall when I operate RTTY or software or computer or can click on anything. But I can do the math from the dial frequence to spot a mark dial frequency if that would make you happy. Maybe you can click on that. At 06:29

That what I say John. You cant follow my recommendation, because you dont use a waterfall. I havent used straight rtty in so long, and never really used it on the ham bands so dont know how you would do that. Unless there is a way you can easily put on a spot note, saying it IS a rig readout,

Since I dont use either Pactor or Amtor, I couldnt really recommend any software for either, except I do know that MixW shows both a Pactor and Amtor as well as 16 other modes. But, I believe those two are for receive only. Someone on here may know otherwise and would ask them to chime in here.

If you are operating AFSK, or have a low end rig that does not do FSK RTTY, then you would need to calculate the numbers as you suggest. Most rigs that are set up for FSK RTTY will read out on the RTTY Mark Frequency, but some will read out on Space, so it does vary between rig designs. Since

In order to use a software version of Amtor, you would need to switch to Linux OS. From what I have read, however, it is not very effective compared to a dedicated box. Amtor had its day, and I operated it with several different types of boxes, but it is fairly slow and can not work into the
