Re: [Flexradio] [hpsdr] 2008/May/17 Dayton TeamSpeak audio - preliminary

2008-05-18 Thread Mike Naruta
Thanks for getting us the Saturday evening dinner Eric. It is fun to listen in. I especially enjoyed Frank's examples of CSDR. A lot of great stuff that evening. Hey, I still like to play with the old radios. I even sometimes use my Flex-Radio on AM. It makes the guys jealous of my audio. :)

My signal/one CX7A had very good QSK. I found the noise while transmitting to be irritating, much like voice VOX with a short delay time so that it goes to receive in between syllables. It's nice to have a little quiet while you are sending to think about what you are communicating. I suppose

Ed, you can use an application like Ham Radio Deluxe to scan your transceiver through CAT. By not scanning, FRS avoids FCC issues with scanning receivers; their permission to sell one with scanning would take lots of effort and probably cripple PowerSDR. FRS already has to put systems in place
