Re: [digitalradio] Re: Q15X25 Packet test
From what I know about Q15X25, it was planned to be a replacement for packet, but did not work well enough. Maybe some are still experimenting with it, but considering the protocol structure being very nearly the same as the highest speeds for Pactor 3 (Speed Level 6), which I understand is rarely possible to use on many HF paths, it is not a practical fit for the vagaries of HF. That is why it is so important to have a number of fall back protocols to meet actual HF conditions with the appropriate mode. WINMOR may be the solution for sound card technologies. 73, Rick, KV9U Andrew O'Brien wrote: Thanks Rick, I added it...now what. Where on the band are people using it?

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Ready for Q15X25 packet test ...
Very good points, Darko, Even though the WINMOR set of protocols has been developed by one group, the protocol is open so that other individuals or groups can incorporate the protocol and may even further develop the protocol as they see fit. If the initial development group decided to not make a peer to peer mode available, and yet prove that this technology will work well, even if only for e-mail, eventually someone will want to do this for sound card peer to peer use. It would not have to be WINMOR, but something similar. It may not happen soon, it could take another 5 to 10 years, but I expect it to happen, maybe even in my lifetime, HI. The most important public service/emergency communication is tactical local and regional peer to peer. Everything else may be helpful, but not vital. Tactical communication has been done mostly recently by phone (with some CW, but mostly in the past) but phone has limitations that could be overcome by the right digital modes, to wit: - weaker signals getting through when phone does not work well or does not work at all - no CW expertise which is now the norm for almost all new hams - keyboarding skills common with new hams due to internet practice, HI - need to send large amounts of data, such as lists of names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. At this time we do not have optimized sound card digital modes that can do this well. Some are using systems such as NBEMS on HF and VHF and even packet is still used by a few. RFSM2400 (MIL-STD-188-110A protocols) are not legal on HF here in the U.S. digital portions of the bands but even if it was, the weak signal modes were not included so it has not performed well with HF conditions we often experience. Also, the program does not provide peer to peer chat (tactical) communications. Whoever comes up with a program that can do sound card adaptable ARQ HF/VHF peer to peer chat and messaging and also connect to a widely available e-mail system will have THE digital public service killer app. Why would you want to use anything else? 73, Rick, KV9U 9A3LI wrote: If WINMOR will be interface only for Winlink then it will be useless !

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Mode of the Day? RS ID on SdR bandwidth
No - it's sent in the center frequency and indicates the mode being used. For robustness it could be sent a few times maybe...

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Mode of the Day? RS ID on SdR bandwidth
Hello Simon and all,
For about SdR, I think it's possible to kept any RS ID transmission in a
wide band.
Using the hashing technic and improving the Fourier determination, it is
needed only several % of the CPU for a 11025 samples/s, so I think it would
be OK for a 44 KHz sampling frequency and surely more.
standard for the RSID codes similar to the SSTV VIS codes, maybe even
At the moment, I manage the standard codes, which are precised hereafter.
There are only 4095 possible codes but only 272 codes possible with a very
good auto-correlation function. Some modes (as THOR or FDMDV) are not in
Multipsk but in that case, I display the name of the mode saying that it is
not available in Multipsk.
Rud, the problem is the auto-correlation. This one must be extremely sharp.
If not it will be decoded many false identifiers.
Robustness: the RS ID is decoded from a S/N -18 dB and always at
about -16/-15 dB. This must be compared with the minimum for PSK31
at -12/-13 dB.

If this gets off the ground, I will create a small application for DXLab users that conveys your transceiver frequency (from Commander), your operating mode (from WinWarbler if running, otherwise from Commander), and your location (from DXView) to the WWN network. It would do this whenever you make a change, e.g. QSY from 20m to 80m, or change operating modes from RTTY to Olivia; this will minimize the load on whatever mechanism is maintaining the data. To start, I suggest a simple web-based UI that allows filtering by band, operating mode, and location.

- Original Message - From: Patrick Lindecker f6...@free.fr The best way would be that some digital association manages this (as for the SSTV codes, however I don't know who manages this SSTV list...) . No-one, as far as I know I'm the only person writing / maintaining SSTV code. Call ID: I have created an extension of a specific RS ID, called Call ID (the code in Pascal will be available with the 4.14 version as I have added a Prop ID). OK - I suggest we (you) send Mode ID then sender Callsign (optional). XML file?: it's surely very powerful but I don't know this technic, in fact. However, it's just a list with an identifier for a mode string, so a serie of IF is sufficient. XML is for professionals like yourself :) Simon Brown, HB9DRV www.ham-radio-deluxe.com
[digitalradio] Re:sstv
If you are wondering what digital mode to choose (scotty 1, scotty 2, martin 1, etc), then it is regular pratice to reply in the mode a station calls or replies to you. The scotty 1/2 and Martin 1/2 are mainly used and differ in time [somewhat less or more then a minute] and thus in quality. In busy/QRM situations it sometimes helps to go faster, and for instance use B/W 8, that only takes 8 sec. If you receive only faint signals it is better to use the modes that take more time like martin 1 [114 sec], scotty 1 [110 sec]or even scotty DX [269 sec] 73's de Marc, PD4U _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

[digitalradio] Multimode Madness Hours May 3 1300-1400 and 2300-000 UTC
Date and time : 1300 to 1400 UTC and 2300- UTC Each UTC Sunday Modes: Any digital modes EXCEPT standard RTTY , PSK31, QPSK31 , and CW. See below for full details Exchange : Call sign and RST Bands : Any authorized digital portions of 80, 40. 20, 15, or 10 are allowed . To foster more interaction, 14077 to 14080 and 7036-7038 are encouraged if allowed in your country. Please avoid traditional PSK31 frequencies and ALE sounding frequencies. Power : 100 watts and under . Suggested CQ : CQ MMH or CQ Multimode Madness Hour Points: 5 points per QSO Multipliers: Modes worked. Scoring: Total QSO x modes worked e.g 10 QSO = 50 points x six different modes successfully worked = 300 points You may work each station once PER mode Other : Use of RS-ID is encouraged. Submit Scores to http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rtgm8kXVo0EppUcJjpTyFKw * Modes with varying speeds, or number of tones, DO count as different modes but reverse settings DO NOT. Example, Olivia 500/16 and 500/8 would count as two different modes but reverse/inverse MFSK16 or Olivia would not count.

How is copy QSO details from main wibdow of WSJT7.02 ? and insert it then to other text file. Vlad UA6JD jt...@mail-on.us
Re: [digitalradio] Olivia
i like the ida of automatic changing of the modes . would act as pactor 123 . start with a slow mode ... call cq. make your qso in high speed if possible switch to slow again for the next cq . dg9bfc sigi - Original Message - From: Tony To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 8:53 AM Subject: [digitalradio] Olivia All, I'm not sure why, but it seems that most of us tend to stick with the slower versions of Olivia even when conditions allow for much faster throughput. The more robust tone-bandwidth combinations seem overkill when the path is stable so why go slow? I sometimes test the waters by reducing the number of tones (regardless of bandwidth) to speed things up. One can always increase the tones again if conditions change for the worse. It would be a neat to see some kind of throughput sensing where the speed of the mode changed to suit conditions automatically. Maybe an RSID-like preamble that automatically switched the other stations software to the best mode based on the last over. Tony -K2MO

But the reason Pactor can do that is that the sending station is constantly getting acknowledgment packets that tell it how the last sent packet got through, or did not. We would need a wrapper around Olivia or PSK that would send signal-quality responses so the sender could adjust its speed.
