New release (4.13) of MULTIPSK Pour les francophones: la version française de ce message se trouve sur mon site (http://f6cte.free.fr). Il suffit de cliquer sur le lien "Principales modifications (courriel avertissant de la sortie de la nouvelle version)".
Hello to all Ham and SWL, The new release of MultiPSK (4.13) is on my Web site (http://f6cte.free.fr). The main mirror site is Earl's, N8KBR: http://www.eqth.info/multipsk/index.html (click on "United States Download Site"). Another mirror site isTerry's: http://g90swl.co.uk/multipsk/ Multispk associated to Clock are freeware programs but with functions submitted to a licence (by user key). The Multidem 2.2.2 fixes several bugs. The main modifications of MULTIPSK 4.13 are the following: 1) I/Q direct interface via the sound card, for SdR transceivers An I/Q demodulator/modulator (RX/TX) is now directly integered to Multipsk. This one permits to receive on a 48, 96 or 192 KHz KHz bandwidth (-96 to 96 KHz) any USB or LSB transmission. >From the SdR waterfall, the user will select the desired bandwidth which will >be transfered to the main waterfall where possible digital transmissions in >USB or LSB will be decoded. The transmission will be done on the same frequency that the one selected for reception. To remotly control this demodulator/modulator, it is added specific TCP/IP SdR commands ("SDR_SPECTRUM ?", "SDR_SF [Sampling Frequency in Hz]" (48000, 96000 or 192000), "SDR_FR [Frequency in Hz]", "SDR_MODE [Mode]" (Mode: "USB" or "LSB"), "SDR_VFO [VFO]" (VFO: "A" or "B")). See "Multipsk client" version 6. 2) 200 to 3800 Hz panoramics on 36 channels The BPSK31/BPSK63/PSKFEC31/CW/RTTY panoramics can, from now, decode from 200 to 3800 Hz instead of 200 to 2500 Hz. This function needs a powerful PC and a screen which height is superior or equal to 768 pixels. 3) KISS mode through TCP/IP available for Packet and Pax/Pax2. The JNOS 2.0 system (from Maiko VE4KLM) can be interfaced, in Packet, to Multipsk working as a digital modem. For complete details and instructions, visit the link below : http://www.langelaar.net/projects/jnos2/multipsk For a presentation of JNOS: http://www.nyc-arecs.org/JNOS_Primer.pdf 4) New <FILE:name> macro to be used, for example, to regularly transmit meteorogical data of your town. For details, see "Macros" in the index of the help manual. Have also been added <CLRRX> (Clears RX window) and <CLRTX> (Clears TX window). 5) Improvements of APRS. Among them: * possibility to export decoded APRS Packet frames (and also PAX/PAX2 frames for long distances APRS transmissions) to one of the many Internet APRS-IS servers (TKS to Pete AE5PL), * possibility to decode positions coming from the APRS-IS server and, then, to display them on the map, * the APRS messages acknowledgment is now managed. Hint: on the map, the red dot is your position, bluedots are positions coming from the APRS-IS server, black dots are decoded positions from HF or VHF. 6) Transmission of an acoustic message inside a digital QSO It is permitted to switch from the digimode to the "Filters" DSP mode (to transmit an acoustic message) using the combination of keys (<Left Ctrl> and <Left Shift>) or the <Scroll Lock> key. Note: this function must be only used in the HF frequencies where digital QSOs and phone QSOs are both authorized. Note about translation of Multipsk.exe and Clock .exe: the 4.12 version of Multipsk/Clock has been completly translated to Spanish by Joachin (EA4ZB), from French. The translation file is on my Web site (http://f6cte.free.fr). 73 Patrick
