Re: [digitalradio] Q25 QSO's
Same thing hear Rick, after all day trying to connect to John (VE5MU), we went to ALE400 (MulitPSK) and John (VE5MU) connected to me the first time and I had my first qso on ALE400 mode then we changed to Q25 and John (VE5MU)was able to connect to me but no text from him at all. This was on 14.109 USB today. I will be back on in the morning. I'm have a time getting power out with program WixW with the power turned all the may up and no ALC it onlt showing about 10W if I change to PSK32 it shows 40W out. I'l keep working on that.

Re: [digitalradio] Q25 QSO's
I think we may be finding out why this mode never became popular. It just does not seem to work compared with other modes. John, W0JAB and I were able to easily make a PSK31 contact but nothing with Q15. At first I thought we had it figured out why I could not connect with VE5MU as I had incorrectly use V35MU, but after changing it and trying numerous times this afternoon and now evening, it just does not connect. Unless I am doing something wrong, it does not look good in terms of a practical mode, even with fairly good conditions. 73, Rick, KV9U John Bradley wrote: > > I set up both VE5GPM and VE5MU according to the info at > http://www.wattystuff.net/amateur/packet/q15x25setup.htm > > he was not kidding when mentioning that audio levels are critical.. > For whatever reason I cannot copy text from VE5GPM , but can copy text > from VE5MU. > > Station are using identical TS480SAT radios set exactly the same.

[digitalradio] Q25 QSO's
I set up both VE5GPM and VE5MU according to the info at http://www.wattystuff.net/amateur/packet/q15x25setup.htm he was not kidding when mentioning that audio levels are critical.. For whatever reason I cannot copy text from VE5GPM , but can copy text from VE5MU. Station are using identical TS480SAT radios set exactly the same. Go Figure. Had some copy earlier in the day with NC5O and K5HD (?) signals were reasonably strong , connected but could not pass much info. Talked NC5O into trying ALE400 for the first time , and it worked as expected with good results and not a large number of repeats. Will remain on 3592 USB Q25 for the rest of the night.. anyone else having more luck? John VE5MU

Hi, Just reading about Q15X25. Tried several links from Googling it, and it appears that the only current Windows version is one that runs under Mixw. Is this correct? another link was to http://sharon.esrac.ele.tue.nl/mirrors/zl1bpu/Q15X25/Q15X25.html but that link was no longer available. I can get Ubuntu up on my system and maybe try a Linux version, but have not done any hamming on Linux. Anyone know of a standalone Windows version?

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Q15X25 Packet test
Hi John, Probably quite right about trying a lower band. Because this is a wide bandwidth mode, I did some testing today to see how well (or not) my ICOM 756 Pro 2 passes tones at various audio frequencies and I discovered that it does not do very well with the lower tones. I moved a PSK31 tone around and compared the power output meter from around 100 Hz to 3000 Hz. The power level drops off quite a bit once you get much below 1000 Hz, although it seems to work fairly well as high as 2800 Hz. I have the rig set for the widest possible passband and using the rear DIN connector. The drop off could be due to the interface transformers, but I am not sure. Has anyone else tried determining their effective audio passband with a given rig and interface? What kind of result did you get? 73, Rick, KV9U John Bradley wrote: > > Rick you and I would be better on 40M later, VE5MU is still on Q25 > GPM is on ALE400, both on 14109 > > > > John > > VE5MU > > > > > >

RE: [digitalradio] Re: Ready for Q15X25 packet test ...
Sean is correct, and that has limited some modes such as Q25, 141A, Olivia 2000, RFSM8000, Pactor3 And others. Canadian hams are governed by bandwidth rather than mode, so the original thinking was to make 30M very narrow so that SSB or digital voice could not be used on this band. However we do not have any power restrictions on 30M On all other bands under 30mhz, VE's can operate up to 6khz bandwidth and full legal power.
