What do you think such a mode would be used for, Bill? The latest brainstorming is a community mesh network. Put a little box in the attic with Ethernet on one side and an antenna on the other.Build a whole VPN with video, vip, whatever.. Given the bits the options are endless. If

Hi Bill, Do you have some thoughts on how an amateur mesh network would be better than non-ham? Maybe less congestion? But in some areas, no one near enough to connect to? Over the years, I have had one of my students who took one of my ham classes and expressed an interest in some kind of

Hello Ed and all, For information, with the last version of Multipsk (4.14), you can decode 48 KHz (for standard sound cards) up to 192 KHz (with specific sound cards) if you have a SdR. Note: with standard sound cards, the noise floor must be around the 10th bit (about 1/1000 of the full

Hi Rud, A DDS isn't enough. I'm still playing with an FPGA attached to an 80 Msps ADC and DAC. I've been able to fit a soft CPU along with a quadrature DDS, filters, I/Q modem, 256-point FFT, UART and other peripherals into a 100-pin FPGA. So far, it works nicely for 1-30 MHz SSB and ISB
