Well after more than 2 months the little box has
arrived.
It hooked up to my TS-2000 without a problem and works
like a champ EXCEPT .
For some reason it and my SOUND BLASTER card don't
like each other and you have to configure the computer
for the SL-USB or the sound blaster card
Well done Bruce, I will look for you on 6M PSK!

Erik,
It's call competition. Apparently, you are not aware that DXpeditions
have thousands of stations calling them at the same time. The minimum
power necessary INCLUDES trying to get through the din. The recent
BS7H operators described what they heard in their RX's as a freight
train

You are totally WRONG if you truly believe that the other station KHz
away is at fault because he captures your AGC when you're using a 3
KHz filter. As you point out PSK is only 31 HZ wide. Thus it only
seems reasonable to try and copy them with a narrow filter. A filter
Skip,
Sounds really interesting. Isn't much of this is available right now
with Linux, on PSKmail? However it is not available on MS Windows OS
which is what 95+% of hams use worldwide for now. It would seem that
adoption will be low until we have cross platform capability.
My experience
Like I said, it was a silly thought. You two gentlemen are obviously
right, and I and the other 8 stations I'm printing on my waterfall
before you guys key up must be clueless.
I understand the competitive side, and I understand that there are 3
different mentalities somewhat at odds with each
Give it up Erik. Money talks, and talks louder than anyone else. Some PSK
operators are no different that the guys on 80 meters, talking across town,
using linears so they can drown out everyone else on the band. They dont
need it, know they dont, but do it so they CAN be the loudest on the
I realize you had a larger topic here but one thing you said is
particularly interesting to me, and may be to others:
BTW, I do know enough to set my AGC appropriately, I do have a 300 Hz
filter, and IF shift capabilities, and I do know how to use them.
The filters in my TS2000 work very
Erik,
As Dr. Phil says: How's that working for you?
You practically speaking can only change your response to something

Howard,
The AGC controls in my rig seem next to worthless as well. I usually
run a 706MkIIG, and it is notorious for pumping when the front end gets
overloaded. It also isn't able to really set the AGC off, there are 2
settings, 'fast' and 'something slower'. Digital modes are the only
Well Danny, I've got to say I think I've accomplished what I set out to
do, and I'm just a little hopeful that a few of the list members did a
little thinking, and that a few newbies 'might' have realized they can
'get by' without a $3k linear and an additional $200 a month on the old

Bruce,
One thing to do, if you are using a varient of MS Windows is to set the
default soundcard back to the soundblaster. For XP go into the 'Classic'
Control Panel and select Sound and Audio Devices, then go to the 'Audio'
tab. Make sure your soundblaster is selected as the default device.
I have an HF rig, but rarely get on HF because of my wife and neighbors. But
after reading the past few threads, I'm GLAD that I DON'T get on HF! Sounds as
if it's gotten to be nothing more than a low frequency CB band!!
Whatever happened to common courtesy? Or better yet, COMMON SENSE??

Rodney,
There have always been boneheads on HF, regardless of the Morse
requirement. The 75m phone band has been a great example of this for
years and years and years.
I'm one of those awful, ignorant, inconsiderate, no-good,

I work mostly digital and have had this problem with the BIG boys running
enough power to light up half the town. I've made contacts with 10 watts. if I
can't work a station at 10 watts 100 isn't going to help much more except to
prove that I can't operate properly with band conditions. In an
If the frequency you're using is above the MUF at some critical
point, then you're right, increasing your output power by a factor of
10 won't help. However, if you're operating on a band when absorption
is the limiting factor, then increasing your output power by a factor
of 10 will

Interesting. I work digital modes pretty-much exclusively, and I've
found quite the opposite. The few no-code

Loyd,
What I seem to be reading in your message is that digital modes are
somehow different than other modes and do not follow the laws of physics.
While the digital text modes can often get through under what seems
nearly miraculous conditions, they can also go from solid print at one
moment
Congratulations Bruce on the arrival of your new SignaLink USB. I've
been using mine since early March and absolutely love the job it is
doing for me.
As to your soundcard conflict, I had similar issues but since I'm just
using my older P3 500Mhz laptop for hamshack apps, I just shut off

Hello Brian and the group,
I am new to this group as well, and also have a couple of queries of my
own
First, some comments regarding the observations of Brian K3KO:
I am also a little puzzled as to the worthiness of JT65A on 20m. Most of the
few contacts I have had have also been
I work 90% on CW now. I like digital modes too. JT65A is very good.
PSK31 is also good. RTTY had been my dream in 1980s and now it's one of
my favorite DXing modes, thanks to the DSP technology embedded in
software.
And I've seen many bad ops in all modes. I think the license class or
Guys:
I have found that *MANY*, but not all, so-called Wide signals on PSK
modes are caused by several things being overlooked at the *RECEIVE* end
of the QSO. If adjusted properly, most newer radios should handle
50-100W signals providing of course that the transmitted signal is
indeed

How do you get LoTW to handle JT65A?
Just use JT65 for the mode field.

A chain is as strong as the weakest linkone of them mat be the

I think a lot are RF feedback, not just overdriving...a good test is to
try the digimode RX program on CW and see if it has the same problems
there. If not, the problem isn't on the RX side.
