I have RFSM8000 installed on a machine here in Canada, although it is not currently running. I have had some difficulty contacting Dmitri, and wondered if he is still actively pursuing RFSM8000. Have you heard from him ? As a result we have been testing Pactor 3 for the same purpose.. it

Hi Wolf, Be sure to keep us informed as to your results. It is ironic that we can not use MIL-STD-188-110A type modulation here in the U.S. HF ham bands, at least not in the text RTTY/Data areas, with the requirement to keep the baud rate of any one tone no faster than 300 baud. The RFSM

Les, Are you sure it is the IF passband? If your BFO injection frequency is set correctly, you should be able to pass 300 to maybe 2200 Hz. Otherwise, SSB phone will have no lows. If you have audio transformers in a homebrew interface, make sure they have the necessary frequency response. The

Hello, You should be using the digi port, and there is a specific setting that allows you to center the filter passband around typical digi signals. I find 200 hz up works best for ALE. Since the signal is now centered, I can then even use the DSP bandpass to really tighten up. If you have

Normally, when I am operating digital modes, I start out with the full 3.6 kHz bandwidth and only tighten it up when I need to. The non standard mode is likely a much better fit for some rigs. In fact, it would seem that some rigs, even some newer ones, would not be able to operate some of the

John, If this modulation is the MIL-STD/FED-STD/STANAG 8PSK waveforms, wouldn't they be at 2400 baud at all times? We can not use baud rates over 300 here in the U.S. on the text digital portions of the bands, but they could possibly be used in the voice/image portions for sending images/fax.
