Re: [digitalradio] Suggestions for digi newbie
you should join the multipsk group i like the soft cause you don´t need to change soft when changing mode many modes build in ... and it runs on my slow win98 machine :-) greetz dg9bfc sigi - Original Message - From: Bob To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 2:15 AM Subject: [digitalradio] Suggestions for digi newbie Well, I guess I will give the digital modes a try, and need a few suggestions on which modes to try first and which software to use. I've had tons of psk and rtty qsos, but want to try some of the more exotic ones. With the upcoming TARA Skirmish and Feld Hell Sprint, now would be an opportune time. I normally use Winwarbler for psk and rtty. I recently downloaded DM780 and had one Feld Hell qso. From what I can tell, Olivia, MFSK16, JT65A are pretty popular modes, but I will need a different program. At this second, I'm downloading Multipsk. Is that my best bet for a multi-mode digital program? And, are those three modes the ones I should start working with? It would be really great if there is enough activity on each mode to keep me occupied. I'm using a pretty fast computer with plenty of capacity, a good sound card and interface (MicroKeyer) tied to a Icom 756 ProII. I'm familiar with the sked pages. I'd appreciate any feedback. Hope to get you all in the new digital log from Delaware soon. Bob - K3MQ

Re: [digitalradio] Suggestions for digi newbie
Welcome Bob. DM780 will perform well for you with the most popular modes, Multipsk will add a few more modes. Take a look at FLDIGI also. All three will give you the most used modes. In addition to RTTY and PSK31, the most common other modes are Feld-Hell Olivia MFSK16 I have heard over 200 unique call signs on JT65A mode in the past 3 weeks, so don't forget that mode. It is perhaps the oddest mode in that there is essentially no conversation, just the exchange of callsign and signal report. Multipsk has that mode, a new application JT65A-HF is due out in a few weeks.
