I would be dubious about a "better:  soundcard digging the signals out
of the noise.  I'm not sure about DSP speakers since i have never
tried them .  something like the Autex QF-1A CW/SSB filter might help
and can be picked up sometimes on Ebay for very little.  You may first
want to try the free DSP software at
http://mmhamsoft.amateur-radio.ca/files/programs/DSPFIL111E.exe   DSP
Filter BY JE3HHT - Makoto Mori , this software will help you dig
things out of the noise but since it uses your PC's soundcard, there
is a 1-2 second delay in the audio you hear, (audio from your receiver
is fed in to the PC, analyzed, then played via your speakers a second
or so later).

[digitalradio] DSP speakers or sound cards ?

2008-09-20 Thread hira632
Hello,

I use an Icom wideband receiver with quite a good sensibility.
Nonetheless, the signal I try to listen is often buried in noise.
After a few searches on the net, it seems that it's possible to
"clean" the signals by using some additionnal equipements like "DSP
speakers". Has anyone used them, is it efficient ?
I understood that it's also possible to use a good sound card 24
bits/192Khz to record signals and analyse them after. What is your
choice ? DSP speakers or sound cards ?

Thanks for your help




[digitalradio] Early History of MMTTY

2008-09-20 Thread Andrew O'Brien
Ken,

Glad you are adjusting to the move and major chage in life ,

I am not sure if many members/users of  MMTTY kow how  MMTTY and Ken's
involvement evolved.  MMTTY was a "obscure" unknown entity that a few
folks discovered and moved in to prominence via their efforts.  The
digitalradio group discovered the software in Japanese, , poked around
with it and members shared how to make it work,  We then  found
Mako,and discovered he had no ability to write an English help file.
I then wrote one and went on vacation and upon my return Mako had
actually added my help file to MMTTY (I was honored).  Ten Ken, Scott,
Jan,, myself and others got together and made a more professional help
file.  Ken strarted a web page to publish updates to the program .  It
was all a voluntary effort to assist Obo and Mako with their
considerable efforts to produce the world's best (RTTY software.

Here is some of the history as it happened, note Ken arrived o the
scene August 15 2000.

Hello!

Is there anybody who using/used or testing/tested MMTTY software
by JE3HHT?
I just downloaded V1.5.1. It's realy "RTTY-factory", it's
freeware, but regretfully
having .doc-file on Japanese language. I wondering, wether
already exists english version
of MMTTY manual and convertor from MMTTY-logbook file format to
any popular file format
(.dbf, .adi,... etc)?

Hi Andy

This is JE3HHT Mako in OSAKA

Nice to meet you, and Thank you for touch with me.

I am sorry Andy, now English Help is not available. I am not good at
in English.

Now I am fixing this program almost everyday and upload it to my
Homepage so often.

I have version 1.53 running here.

Have stumbled upon Ctrl-O to open a Digital Scope window, but have not
gotten beyond that... any hints on how to use the Digital Scope? What
is the purpose of the Green bar at the top that can be varied in width
? How is an input applied to this scope???

Can anyone provide some insight as to the Setup MMTTY parameters:
particularly, the tabs for Demodulator and AFC/PLL ???
At various points, when I click on the "f" button, we get a graphical
display, but I have not as yet reached any conclusion as to what the
each graph represents/means during operation.

I must look further into the recording features available under the File
Menu.

Perhaps we could start a thread on each tab option, and come up with
some useful hints/suggested operational settings.

It appears to be a super program and well thought out. A well kept
secret, also.

My thanks to JE3HHT, OM Mako, for supplying a soundcard RTTY program to
the global Ham radio community.

wow! really neat interface, even though haven't figured it all out yet.

how to change baud rate, trying to copy CFH @ 425 shift and 75/100 baud.

no problem with the shift but how to do the baud rate?

I have written a very preliminary draft of an English Help file. It is only
about 10% done and simply covers setting up MMTTY for simply RTTY operation,
transmitting, receiving, macros programming, and changing the waterfall. I
am assuming that others would like to add to the project, so feel free to
email me your contributions and I'll compile them. Be sure to use the MMTTY
reflector to announce what aspect of MMTTY you are writing about, that way
you will avoid duplicating someone else's effort.

The initial draft of the help file is in Microsoft Word (RTF) Rich Text
format. I'll make an HTML version later tonight after work.

I have uploaded the file to the reflector's files section at
http://www.egroups.com/files/MMTTY/, please download it and offer
suggestions.

Hi Andy..

Your help file is looking good! You can also add that the color of the

[digitalradio] Re: Lightning Static Simulations / Propagation

2008-09-20 Thread Cortland Richmond
Nice work!

It looks to me as if there are two needs; long interleave to beat lightning and 
impulsive noise, and multitone for on-channel qrm and background noise.  How 
does MT63 with short interleave look?  How about 2K MT63?   I suspect a 
combination of slower rate and wider bandwidth is going to show up better 
overall.

This is without ARQ, of course.

One thing I'm seeing (again) in this discussion is that there's no free lunch!.

Rick,

Tested a few modes for static crash resistance including the ones you asked 
about. The HF simulator does not have a QRN mode, but I think I may have come 
up with something that works fairly well - see below.

A signal reaching a disturbed region of the F-Layer that returns without 
interaction from other layers would seem to qualify.

That could be done. I did something along those lines with JT65 and WSPR. As a 
rule-of-thumb, it's best to use multi-tone FSK modes like Olivia and MFSK16 on 
paths that are highly disturbed. 

More later Rick...
