Re: [digitalradio] directly modulate computer /thus eliminating transceiver audio input"
NUE PSK is great for back packing and mobile operation so long as only PSK 31 or RTTY is of interest. Computers offer a richer display with more options and the ability to generate many different modes. The idea is to go directly from the computer via IP to a back box that is broadband and can be remotely located and is mode agnostic. Both approaches have their own advantages. From: J.

They have a modem that plugs directly into a transceiver' s Data port eliminating the need for PCs and soundcards, but they are now working on a "NUE-SDR" transceiver that either will fit as a card inside the little modem, or attach underneath it (not sure what their final design will be).

[digitalradio] Re: PSK-ROBUST - Path Simulation Results vs field tests
Your question is one that I have also. In our recent NVIS testing with fldigi/flarq we found BPSK250 provided better throughput than other modes we tested, and most notably MFSK32 which we thought would be our safe, robust mode. This was with a variety of band conditions including strong signal, weak signal, selective fading, lightning QRN, grungy power line noise, and all the normal stuff we experience here in the Midwest. Path distances varied from 40 miles to 150 miles which were the distances we were interested in. There were a couple ideas we kicked around as possible reasons why BPSK250 worked so much better than we expected. One was that when the signal took a hit from something like a lightning burst, BPSK250 recovered and resynchronized very fast. The second was even more speculative in that maybe the higher phase modulation rate (250 times per second) was faster than Doppler path modulation allowing the BPSK decoder to ride through. Anyway, we expected BPSK250 to be useless on NVIS but every time we have tried it, it has worked. (and better than most modes.) Maybe there is something that the path simulators are missing. Dunno... Just throwing some ideas out.

[digitalradio] Re: MT 63 question
Yep, I was aware of the 97.221 limit of 500 Hz for automatic operation. Also, I was aware of 97.305 that specifies 300 baud below 28 MHz. 1200 baud appears to be OK for 10 meters. Of course, that is the paragraph that has the confusing thing about 1000 HZ RTTY shift specification. By that I would guess that bandwidths up to at least 1000Hz should be legal. The confusing part is the 500 Hz thing in 97.3(c)(2) that does not appear to be referring to automatic operation. Am I missing something that mentions 1600 Hz bandwidth or is that a theoretical 300 baud, 1000 Hz shift RTTY bandwidth?

[digitalradio] Re: G3OBU's antenna with digital mode DX
A few thoughts... One old-time rule on Helical antennas is that it takes about twice the amount of wire to accomplish what a straight piece of wire would do;, so, for this case, that would be about 75/2, or and effective wire length of 37.5 feet, or ~125 Meters (of I did my math right). That length represents between 1/2 and 5/8 wavelength at 20 Meters, so it (theoretically) would be ground-plane independent with a very low angle of radiation. Sounds like it's working in any case!

[digitalradio] Re: Techs on HF digital
Ok fellas, I hear the message. No tech digital on the 80, 40, and 15 meter bands. I'll drop the idea. I do get a bit of a chuckle at the comments about reduced licensing requirements. Sure, I and my buddies had to study hard for our tests and we had to learn the code. By the time we took our Novice tests, we could probably have drawn out the complete schematic of a workable CW transmitter. That did not, however, mean that we knew what the heck we were doing. Today's CB converts know more about the basics of radio that most of the hams we knew back then. Heck, only one guy in our town with probably a dozen hams even owned a SWR bridge. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to use it. I'm not sure any of us knew why you would use one in the first place. Those CBers we all complain about may have developed some annoying operating habits but they seem to grow out of them as they get experience on the ham bands. They are no worse technically than we were back then Knowing the code and having to take a test without seeing the question pool ahead of time did not make us technical experts and it certainly did not make us good radio operators. We stumbled around, accidentally QRMed each other, messed up TV reception for the whole neighborhood, but we had fun. I'm just concerned that same level of fun does not appear to be available to new entry level hams, at least under these solar conditions. Now back to playing radio.

Hello Gary,
Gone are the days of being proud of getting your General or
Extra Class ticket. Taking a bus to the FCC field office in the city making
a day of it. Now days just memorize the answers and your a Extra Class.
The system nowadays is so easy a Cave Man with a IQ of five, could get a
license.
Being a VE here also, I see testes that know the answers but nothing more
about them.
The basic problem people are just lazy and want everything on a silver
platter.
You should show these Tech's what they are missing out on, maybe they will
upgrade.

Subject: [digitalradio] Techs on HF digital
I thought I'd run something up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes:
With the currently extended low sunspot cycle reducing the occurrence of 10
meter openings to near zero, there is little to offer new hams for radio
operating opportunities besides VHF FM. Many of the people who attend our
Technician license classes are interested in doing much more than chatting with
the local guys on a local repeater. Sure, VHF SSB is a possibility but for us
rural folks, even that provides slim pickings for distant contacts.
We are seeing a very low percentage of newly licensed people ever buying a
transceiver and getting on the air. We are estimating that number to be less
than 10%. Other clubs in our area are experiencing the same problem: good turn
out for classes and lots of licenses issued but few new hams getting on the
air. It may be that VHF FM is not a viable stepping stone to getting very many
new folks active in Amateur Radio.
Being an old fart, I naturally began as a novice operating CW on the HF
bands. Finding other stations to make contact with was never a problem as there
was always activity on either 40 or 80 meters, depending upon the time of day.
Making contact with other stations hundreds of miles away was common. While
that same opportunity is available today, at least theoretically, CW operation
is not part of a new ham's skill set.
So... Here is the idea. Would you be amenable to allowing Technician Class
licensees to operate digital modes in the Technician CW bands and do you think
that would be of interest to new hams?
I would imagine, the license limitations would have to state something like a
maximum of 300 baud and 500 Hz bandwidth with a 200 watt power limit. There may
be other limitations that might be nice to toss into the mix but this is a
starting point for discussion.
Your thoughts?

[digitalradio] Re: Digital on 2M FM: Audio settings ?
Hi Warren, The cheap and dirty way we did it a decade or two ago to set up packet stations was to hook the speaker output of a handy-talky to a VOM and monitor the audio level coming from another packet station that was working well. You then adjusted the local transmit audio level to produce the same voltage on the VOM on the handy-talky. If you have no other stations to check against, my guess is you would just listen to your signal on the handy-talky and set digital modulation level to be a little below peak voice level when talking into the microphone. As long as the digital signal sounds fairly clean to your ear, it will probably be OK. If there is someone nearby who can monitor your signal with a digital program to display your signal on a waterfall, you could coordinate with them to find a level that is below the clipping distortion level but high enough to give good copy under noisy conditions. That is about the best I can come up with off the top of my head. I did buy one of the MFJ meters a while back and find it works OK when use with a scope. It's not what you would call a precision instrument but it has gotten the job done adequately.

[digitalradio] Re: Digital on 2M FM: Audio settings ?
Hi Andy, I suppose this would be confusing to someone not used to FM operation on a multi-mode rig. In all modes, ALC is a function of transmitter output power. In SSB modes we keep our transmitted digital signals clean by running our transceivers below the power level that causes ALC to be generated. In FM, however, the transmitted signal is a constant level carrier. The audio modulation from the sound card causes the frequency of that carrier to 'deviate' above and below its unmodulated frequency. What we care about on digital FM is how clean the audio at the receive end is. The ALC reading reflects only how much RF we are putting out, not what the modulation looks like at the receiving end. Remember that essentially all voice FM transmitters use some sort of peak audio clipping to limit how wide our modulation 'deviates' to keep it inside the pass band of the receive IF filters. When we run digital FM, we need to keep the audio drive low enough that we are not driving the transmitter audio section into clipping. Setting the audio drive level for digital operation with an FM transmitter is not quite as simple as for SSB. We really must monitor the actual transmitted signal while we make that adjustment. That can be tricky without a deviation monitor but it can be done by comparing your own digital modulation to other known good signals. That said, though, a little extra distortion is not quite the problem on FM it is on SSB. On FM, audio distortion will generally not interfere with other stations. It may look bad on the water fall and may not decode quite as easily as if the level was correct but it will likely still work OK. That is why we can get away with just holding a handy talkie up to the computer speaker to operate digital modes on VHF FM. That make sense?

Re: [digitalradio] Speech Synthesis
Please send the file I may have you make one. Thanks Gary - Original Message - From: Ray D. Congdon To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 9:56 AM Subject: [digitalradio] Speech Synthesis I don't mean this to be an advertisement but I have developed a speech synthesis system that is used in high-end weather monitor systems environmental monitoring systems and other industrial applications. The unit is called the "Vosponder". http://www.inmtn.com/vosponder.htm At the heart of the unit is a chipset that does streaming Text-to- Speech conversion and, if I may say so myself, does it much better than any of the mid-range software on the market. It can be "Taught" to verbalize call signs properly, won't call your honey a "dog" (vs Doll) etc. I even have a client that needed it to do english to spanish translation of phrases and we accomplished that (He did mention that it sounded a bit like "Gringo Spanish" :-)). Anyhow, I've been considering making a run of a version that simply allows an RS-232 interface to the chipset (Natively they are 5V or 3.3 V logic I/O) If I can get enough folks together to justify a run (25 or more) I'd make them available to them at cost. (around $100 ea). If anybody is interested Drop me a line directly and I'll ship off a copy (.DOC format) of the chipset manual. Tha's why I've been looking for a single chip decoder for PSK31... I'd like to build up a dedicated receiver-decoder to speech system. Thanks for the bandwidth! The K3UK DIGITAL MODES SPOTTING CLUSTER AT telnet://208.15.25.196/ Yahoo!
