Re: [digitalradio] Fwd: [30MDG] Help NEEDED with a Signallink USB

[Phil Barnett]

The SignaLink USB is not a rig control device, it's only an audio device. It
has a built in VOX circuit to do the keying.

Rig control must be done with a separate device.

If you got the audio to show up, you are there.

Re: [digitalradio] Why does the ARRL continue to push for Pactor III support...

John W0JAB wrote: "I Have only been a (ham) since 1968 and still learning.  But 
I don't recall all of this happening 10 or more years ago."

I got into amateur radio in 1959, and there were fairly strong disagreements 
between AMers and SSBers.  

In recent years, there have been disagreements between QROers and QRPers.  Some 
high power folks are happy to talk to you until you let slip you are only 
running 3 watts, then they drop the QSO fast. 

Clearly folks who've had QSOs wiped out by automated HF stations have some 
strong feelings about that.  

Heck, I've had PSK31 QSOs disrupted by a CW operator coming on frequency, 
though narrow filters can help there.  

For as long as I've been listening, particularly on 80 meters, there are people 
who believe they "own" a frequency and behave that way.

Right now, I see a lot of analog FM VHF/UHF operators quite upset with digital 
voice modes like D-Star.  In regions where 2 meter repeater frequencies are 
scarce, there's quite a war going on about these new modes.  

But all of these are examples of the minority of hams, in my opinion.  Most 
hams try to help each other, get along with each other and tolerate those who 
are into different facets of this great hobby.

Some USB/serial converters don't work with all programs.  Probably something to 
do with the USB drivers.  The best one I have was purchased from

plus programmers for my HTs etc.  It is US $15.

John, I asked you the same question, but you did not answer mine. :-(

Just as I thought, the only reason to allow Pactor-III on 60m is for 
Winlink's benefit. Let's file comments to the FCC to allow any modes 500 
Hz wide or less so at least 4 or 5 stations can use the channel for QSO 
and Emcomm instead of Pactor-III taking over the entire channel for 
Winlink mailboxes.

[digitalradio] Slow Scan TV Pictures from Space

[Trevor .]

The Radio Amateurs on the International Space Station (ISS) will be 
transmitting Slow Scan TV pictures on 145.800 MHz on Thursday and Friday May 
13-14. 

The transmissions will take place in Robot-36 mode on Thursday May 13 from 
10:00 - 17:00 UTC and on Friday May 14 from 12:45 - 16:00 UTC.

Previous activations of the SSTV system have produced some good images that can 
be seen on the ARISS SSTV picture gallery site.

The ISS puts out a strong signal on 145.800 MHz FM and a 2m handheld with a 1/4 
wave groundplane antenna will be enough to receive it.

The FM transmission uses 5 kHz deviation which is standard in much of the 
world. Many FM rigs in the UK can be switched been wide and narrow deviation FM 
filters so select the wider deviation. Handhelds all seem to have a single wide 
filter fitted as standard.

Free PC sound card Slow Scan TV software such as MMSSTV can be used to display 
the pictures and you can use software such as the IZ8BLY Vox Recoder to save 
the audio for later decoding if you are away at work.

Andy

Does the FCC *really* have to specify all the permissible modes? Surely 
all that's important is to permit CW, SSB and narrow-band data (say, max 
500 Hz) of *any* flavor that is permitted in Part97.

Restricting data to just two or three modes is very short-sighted. If 
these modes become outdated, or ground-breaking new modes appear on the 
scene, you will have to keep going back to FCC to get the license 
conditions changed.

The only pointer needed Paul, is that it doesn't have or need one! It
has a built "VOX" function which is used for keying the radio.
You need to disable your program's keying function, and let the SLUSB
handle it automagically.

The discussion regarding Pactor III has relevance to earlier discussions on 
this list concerning a new mode. 

Whether you like Pactor III or not it's clear the FCC permits US amateurs to 
use it and they regard the level of documention available on it to be adequate. 

I suspect the only concern of the FCC like other regulators regarding new modes 
is not the documentation but whether they can either buy a unit or freely 
download a software executable that enables them to monitor the content of the 
transmissions.

Hi all,

A ham friend of mine (M0UTD) has bought a signalink USB interface. Tried to
install it. It comes up with audio codecs ok... but does not assign a
comport. I have tried all I know, without success.
However it is picking it up as a USB Human Interface ?
I am pulling my hair out here..
Can anyone give me any pointers please...

Laptop is a Toshiba Sat Pro. with Win xp SP 3..

Hi Andy

Are you allowed to use a proprietary mode on the HAM band in US? In
Norway we are not.
