Re: [digitalradio] multipsk
Hello Ken, You don't need any licence to use JT65. Below I have added the help part for JT65 transmission. To abstract, from the default state, for example, push on the CQ or QRZ button. The transmission will be automatically done. Here are some hints about Multipsk use. I must add that in JT65, the PC clock must be adjusted, but you must know it as you success decoding JT65. 73 Patrick Multipsk hints: - It is strongly recommended to calibrate the sound-card: click on the Adjustments menu button, then select the Determination of the RX/TX sound-card sampling frequencies option and push on the Determination of the 48 KHz RX sampling frequency (test on 3 minutes) button. At the end of the test, click on Return, Note about the sound level (Level indication in % at the top of the screen): an AF level superior or equal to 10 % is OK. About 50 % is ideal (but not critical). In case of very low AF level, select 16 bits in the Determination of the RX/TX sound-card sampling frequencies option (Adjustments menu button), About the help in Multipsk: - To bring up the text help (contextual sensitive one), click on the right button of the mouse, with the cursor over the mode button KISS, for example). - Also use the button hints (wait a fraction of second over a button). JT65 transmission The JT65 does correct only weak frequency drifts. So, the user will let the transceiver (XCVR) warms up for one hour and a half to stabilize its frequency (duration function of you XCVR, as modern XCVR stabilizes rapidly). As said before, the text of the message to be transmitted is either formatted or it is free. In the second case, the message is limited to 13 characters when, in the first case, more characters are transmitted because the information is compressed, but the Ham is not free to write what he/she wants. The message ready to be sent is displayed in a green label, to the right of To send:. It is reminded that there are 3 ways to send a message: 1) immediatly, with the Automat. TX button OFF and both Beacons button OFF, if a message is clicked (CQ or QRZ, for example), 2) automatically at the second 1 (or from the second 1 to the second 7, in case of Ham delay) , with the Automat. TX button ON and the Beacons button OFF, if a message is clicked (CQ or QRZ, for example) before the second 8, 3) automatically beaconing at each odd or even minute (at the second 1), pushing either Beacon odd/mn button or Beacon even/mn button, if a message is clicked (CQ or QRZ, for example). The Automat. TX button can be OFF or ON. The standard way is the one described in 2). This is a first VHF (EME) example of minimum QSO (with formatted messages): 1) CQ F6CTE JN18 (key Escape or Esc for blind Hams) 2) F6CTE F9XYZ JN07 (key F1 for blind Hams) 3) F9XYZ F6CTE -20 OOO (key F2 for blind Hams) 4) RO (key F9 for blind Hams) 5) RRR (key F10 for blind Hams) 6) 73 (key F11 for blind Hams) 1) F6CTE calls CQ. 2) F9XYZ answers to F6CTE. 3) F6CTE confirms the reception of the F9XYZ answer adding OOO (Your signals are weak but I have copied both of our callsigns or more simply I have copied both of our callsigns). -20 is the S/N ratio in dB of the received message (this information is automatically inserted by Multipsk). 4) RO is the acknowledgment of F9XYZ. 5) F6CTE sends RRR to say that the QSO is finished. 6) F9XYZ sends the traditional 73 to complete the QSO. The QSO could be enriched with other formatted messages or non-formatted messages. For more détails, report to the JT65 TX panel above. It is advised to transmit either on the odd minutes or on the even minutes. This is a second HF example of minimum QSO (with formatted messages): 1) CQ F6CTE JN18 (key Escape or Esc for blind Hams) 2) F6CTE F9XYZ -JN07 (key F1 for blind Hams) 3) F9XYZ F6CTE -20 (key F2 for blind Hams) 4) F6CTE F9XYZ R-18 (key F3 for blind Hams) 5) F9XYZ F6CTE 73 (key F4 for blind Hams) 6) F6CTE F9XYZ 73 (key F4 for blind Hams) 1) F6CTE calls CQ. 2) F9XYZ answers to F6CTE. 3) F6CTE confirms the reception of the F9XYZ answer. -20 is the S/N ratio in dB of the received message (this information is automatically inserted by Multipsk). 4) F9XYZ answers to F6CTE confirming that he/she received his/her report (R) and sending the F6CTE report in dB (this information is automatically inserted by Multipsk). 5) F6CTE sends the traditional 73 to complete the QSO. 6) F9XYZ confirms the end of the QSO with73.

[digitalradio] Re: Unable to set time in JT65A
Kim, glad you liked the guide. The simple solution is to set your PC clock to WWV's clock , by ear. You may be a second or so off but that will not be a problem for JT65A, 3-4 seconds or more could be a problem. When you say you are having problems with messages , what do you mean? I had a problem a couple of years ago whereby Dimension4 would not sync with various time-syncing sites, it took a hard drive reformat and reinstallation of Windows to fix. Must have been a Windows issue. Can you please tell me more about the errors? Andy On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 12:49 PM, Kim kimme...@yahoo.com wrote: Andrew, I enjoyed reading your Bozo's Guide.
