[DX-CHAT] Digital
I took a 1st phone course from NRI back in 1965 and took two courses in electronics from the physics department at UNC at Chapel Hill in 1966 and 1967. There was some things we learned about ones and zeros back then, but that was over 40 years ago. I worked in broadcasting until 1984, but everything was analog. It seems to me that if we can put 80 minutes of high fidelity stereo music on a compact disk, a whole movie on a DVD, and three seperate channels of digital TV on one previously analog channel, we should be able to transmit high fidelity and qrm free phone signals on the ham bands. I wish one of you digital Geeks would invent something like that for amateur radio. I know CW and psk, etc is called digital, but it seems to me that someone who has more training than me could come up with something better. In a pile-up the receiver could lock on one digital signal that was the strongest. Or, you would have a spectrum like is on digipan and you could click your mouse on the signal and copy it. Why not?

[DX-CHAT] digital Changes to FCC SSB allocations
Hey digital guys... stop whining and get ur digital sigs onto the internet where they can be better served. Digital radio experiments are ok, but really, on a steady basis, is digital really ham radio, functions like internet chat to me. 73 Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org

Hey, wake up Charlie !! We are talking about HAM RADIO here, we are not fixated on the internet. 73 de Jim K4PYT Hey digital guys... stop whining and get ur digital sigs onto the internet where they can be better served.

Re: [DX-CHAT] digital Changes to FCC SSB allocations
Did you really say that?! One of the best DX ragchews I ever had was on Pactor with a ZL. We typed back and forth for over an hour, and everything got through despite miserable condx and fading propagation. A phone or CW QSO would have been constant repeats. Honestly, I'd say that my mode preference in radio these days runs is CW over digi and digi over phone.

[DX-CHAT] Digital Rotor diplay
Thanks to the gentle man who responded that my flickering display is normal. I contacted Rotornorm who confirmed this: Hi Steve, the bouncing display is a function of trying to digitize and analog circuit. The digital display wants to resolve to a higher level than the wire wound pot and the analog circuit are capable of sending to it. You see it on almost all of the digital display units - I Notice it particularly on the HDR300 displays. RotorNorm So I guess I can be less paranoid yipp, at least the beam no longer pinwheels in a moderate wind C U at Dayton (flea market spaces 132/133..near the shuttle bus stop) 73, STeve KF2TI Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
