[Elecraft] PSK31

I'm using MultiMode with my Mac and K3 to decode PSK31. I cannot get enough level out of the stereo out on the K3 to get a good decode, even though I adjust in software on the K3. What am I doing wrong? The Mackintosh platform is limited when it comes to radio software. Are there any

Re: [Elecraft] PSK31

Though I am not sure it will solve your problem, you may want to try Cocoamodem software. IMHO it is superior to MultiMode and is free. http://homepage.mac.com/chen/w7ay/cocoaModem/index.html I'm using MultiMode with my Mac and K3 to decode PSK31. I cannot get enough level out of the

Re: [Elecraft] PSK31

I'll second that! Cocoamodem is the best decoder solution out there IMO.. David, W4SMT --- On Fri, 12/11/09, WA6L w...@arrl.net wrote: From: WA6L w...@arrl.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] PSK31 To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Date: Friday, December 11, 2009, 12:53 PM Though I am not sure

Re: [Elecraft] PSK31

Hi Richard, Others have already mentioned cocoaModem. Fldigi also runs on the Mac. Fldigi supports a few less commonly used modes that cocoaModem doesn't (Olivia, MT-63, Thor, Throb). cocoaModem supports HF-FAX and SITOR-B reception which fldigi doesn't. I find Fldigi easier to use for

Re: [Elecraft] PSK31

I will second (er, fourth...?) the props for CocoaModem. I still opt for Windows for my digital activities simply because I have an old Dell box that I was able to dedicate to the task and I just love HRD/ DM780 as a complete package for logging, rig control and digital ops. But I

Re: [Elecraft] PSK31 on K-3

Is there a more elegant way to accomplish PSK31 on my K-3? My PC is a HP Laptop running Vista. This setup kills my computer for Skype, since it ties up the internal soundcard. To run Skype and PSK31 *simultaneously* you'll need a second soundcard on your computer. There are lots of

Re: [Elecraft] PSK31 on K-3

Well then the manual (admittly not the latest version) that I have is wrong. Someone should fix the manual then, cos it says (page 31): PSK D is a Direct-transmit mode for PSK31. It’s the only mode that decodes and displays PSK31 signals with the text decoder (pg. 33). Like FSK D, PSK D

Re: [Elecraft] PSK31 on K-3

Oops .. sorry about the QLF ... I decided to change wording after checking the latest PDF manual from the website, but forgot to delete the old text! So, yeah, the latest manual still implies that FSK IN works for PSK D. ~Iain Iain MacDonnell - N6ML wrote: Well then the manual
