[digitalradio] Rethinking digital mode band plans-developing a solution
Andy: Your suggested band plan seems to me to be as good as any that I have seen and better than most that I have seen. I think it is unfortunate to have someone suggest a well thought out/workable plan and then watch it die for lack of support. It seems to me that the problem has been the lack of a organized group agreeing to stick with a band plan for long enough period of time for other hams to discover the plan being used and join with the original group. The above gives us a starting place and measuring devices to see if other hams will join us and follow the proposed (primarily digital modes) band plan. If the group grows then the plan is being adequately publicized and has become an established place for others to begin their foray into the digital modes. Recipe: Suggested plan published by someone on a well used forum a dozen or more operators agreeing a head of time to try the suggested plan keep the agreement to follow the suggested plan active for a month (adding users/followers along the way ) agree to meet at the end of the month in some prior arranged forum -- hash out the good and the bad for no longer than one week. If most people feel that the plan is a workable one, then keep the plan active for six months or so and publish the frequencies the frequencies agreed-upon on the forum on a daily basis. At this point in time we are talking primarily of Region Two. Regions One and Three already have plans in operation. Unless there is a good reason(s) to deviate (example: legal frequencies) from plans already operational, then make the proposed band plan follow the rest of the world. Dick, KC4COP
[digitalradio] Re: SDR-Radio with DM780 20M Digital Band
Ed: With 500 GB of memory you should have no trouble running any program likely to be produced in the next few years. MixW can get a pretty good range of resolution. In the case of resolution, looking at 20 m on MixW at a zoom factor of 0.5, the spread on the display is 14.070 through 14.080. Looking at 20 m on MixW with a zoom factor of four, you have just about as much resolution as you could ever want. The spread goes from 14, 070.1 through 14,071.5 . That is spread out through the entire width of the page. Dick,KC4COP
Re: [digitalradio] Can not open CAT port (COM1)
I do not see anything on my machines that is accessing a serial port. I have gone through a list on device manager and it started exploring each of the services one by one. Several minutes ago I installed a program called Serial Port Monitor. The error message that I got from serial port monitor reads session creation failed - cannot start monitoring device, COM1. Error messages access is denied code (0X 5) internal error. I am going to go back and take a look at my battery backup power supply disconnect it and leave it disconnected. That was a good suggestion - I am hoping that it will work. I wondered if a reset of the FT 1000 would accomplish anything. I get an error message before the radios turned on I would not think that the error would be in the radio. I see if I can find a procedure for resetting CPU anyway and give it a shot. First off I will disconnect the battery backup and then I will complete going through the list of services running. Dick Zseltvay KC4COP

Yahoo has made such a mess of my accounts that when I signed into a group no one knows who I really am. I would like to try to straighten out the mess by opening a new account and re-registering for [EMAIL PROTECTED] My name is Dick Zseltvay, and my call is KC4COP. I have been in the usual user of the digital modes for little over two years. Like many, my interest is primarily been PSK 31. I'm curious about the operation of several of the other modes and would like to learn more about them and give them a try. My primary interest in amateur radio has been high frequency radio wave propagation forecasting. I studied the subject and related fields for approximately 40 years and during that time I have been a consultant to both NASA and NOAA and have served in a consulting role to other space weather agencies. I have a website dedicated to the study of spaceweather and high frequency radio wave propagation with something of a bent. Rather than give spaceweather and propagation nowcast and forecast conditions the website is dedicated to helping amateurs learn how to decipher spaceweather information and become able to produce their own high frequency radio wave forecast.
