Re: [digitalradio] RSID numbers
Hello Jose, Yes you are right. To put all the variants, it would be needed many more bits, perhaps as many bits as for the Call ID (56). Yes it would need a specific protocol and, necessarily, would need a more complicated updating. The present RS ID is limited to the main modes and it is finally rather simple, so... 73 Patrick - Original Message - From: "Jose A. Amador" To: Sent: Friday, October 23, 2009 2:57 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] RSID numbers I have not used MixW in a long time and my memories might be a bit innacurate, but in MixW you set the basic modulation and choose the arguments in a cascading menu. Say, you choose RTTY, and in the modem configuration you choose shift and speed. On PSK you may choose the signalling speed, and so on.I believe Same with Olivia, choosing BW and tones. I believe FLdigi is equally capable of doing so, but I have used it ocassionally as it is distributed, "off the box". I am afraid that "to cover all bases" you must use a modulation code with additional arguments, as a limited nunbers pool may not be able to describe all variants. It has a cost, a longer RSID which is likely to be not welcome. A solution I would like is not mess with what works and assign a longer code for rarer, not yet described modes.Of course, it would require a new RSID protocol version. Just a suggestion. 73 Jose, CO2JA --- Rein Couperus escribió: > I have the patches for fldigi ready, only waiting forthe numbers... > > 73, > > Rein PA0R > > >> -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- >> Von: "Patrick Lindecker" >> Gesendet: 22.10.09 20:16:40 >> An: >> Betreff: Re: [digitalradio] RSID numbers >> > > > >> Hello Rein, >> >> >>> BPSK500, BPSK1000, QPSK500 and QPSK1000? >>> >> Are these modes on Fldigi or DM780?

Hello Rein, OK, I'll prepare these numbers and will give you them to morrow (in fact I will update the RS ID list). 73 Patrick - Original Message - From: "Rein Couperus" To: Sent: Friday, October 23, 2009 9:29 AM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] RSID numbers I have the patches for fldigi ready, only waiting forthe numbers... 73, Rein PA0R > -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- > Von: "Patrick Lindecker" > Gesendet: 22.10.09 20:16:40 > An: > Betreff: Re: [digitalradio] RSID numbers > Hello Rein, > > >BPSK500, BPSK1000, QPSK500 and QPSK1000? > Are these modes on Fldigi or DM780?

Re: [digitalradio] Flarq Basic Question
On a VHF repeater you could use BPSK500 or BPSK1000, I have just sent the patches for fldigi...

[digitalradio] Flarq Basic Question
Our locals would like to start testing\learning flarq. My question is what are the better modes when using flarq on a 2m fm repeater? It could also be ask, is 2m fm repeater the best way to operate ARQ in a local area? Tnx, Lynn - KB3FN
[digitalradio] Testing 30M PSKMAIl : PSK250-MFSK16-THOR22 Rotation
Here is something to play with if you are bored today. While reading and learning some more about PSKMAIL with Fldigi, I will be QRV on 10147 (dial, and 1000Hz on waterfall) BUT changing modes on a schedule. The software is set to change the server's modes Starting at the top of the hour, the schedule is: 00 PSK250 01 PSK250 02 MFSK16 03 THOR 22 04 THOR 22 and repeating the cycle 05 PSK250 If you connect, you will stay in the same mode until disconnected. I think PSKMAIL can be set up so that it detects RS ID and switches modes but I have not got that far yet. More experimenting... Andy K3UK
Re: [digitalradio] Re: PSK Mail Message Via K3UK- Suc cess with MAIL via THOR and MFSK16
Actually, to send such a short mail it is not even necessary to connect.
