Dave, The question is whether any app is being starved for CPU resources during critical operations. Is there a way to tell if that is happening? Tony, K2MO - Original Message - From: Dave AA6YQ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 03, 2008 10:19

Hello All I have upload a sample file(Sample1a.mp3) of a unknown protocol on the files area, it keeps transmitting every night on 3.733, over my reception of digisstv. Sounds like a link connection between several stations, and don't let me hear nothing. I would like to know if somebody knows

Dave, IMO any data program will be talking to the soundcard with a nice big FIFO so CPU shouldn't be an issue. From memory I use a 10 second FIFO on receive and 2 second on transmit. I can't think of any problems that could arise as long as there are some free CPU cycles. What am I missing?

each processor core can only execute one instruction at a time, for one application at a time. the data bus can handle either one (32 bit) or two (64 bit) operations at a time. that you can see 5 windows open at once is the magic of the video processor and persistence of vision. Brent Gourley

You'll need a more fine-grained indicator of CPU usage; try Googling. When you have multiple applications decoding the same incoming stream, peak CPU loads are likely to occur simultaneously. To assure an apples-and-apples comparison, run each application on a dedicated PC. 73,

You're making assumptions about the internal structure of the application, Simon. If you're correct and all of the applications being measured are well-buffered, then fine. But its relatively easy to overrun the buffers in PSKCORE, for example; while it informs its client when that happens, the

[digitalradio] Multipsk's Voice mode

All, Just learned about Multipsk's Voice mode thanks to Sholto (KE7HPV). It's an Olivia mode derivative that uses 8 tones with a bandwidth of 168 Hz. It's called Voice because it has the ability to vocalize incoming characters. I'm sure Patrick developed the mode with sightless hams in mind

Hello Tony and all, Yes Voice is done for blind or partially sighted Hams (very sensitive and automatic tuning). I added the same system in JT65, but in JT65 it is simpler as you need only the Function keys (F1 to F12) to do the QSO. In Voice and JT65, characters can be repeated to the speaker
