Re: [digitalradio] ALE 400

2010-05-20 Thread Hal Stang
Patrick ,
Thanks for info.  Still in the "infancy stage"  of learning Ale 400 and 
MultiPsk.  Any and all help is appreciated.  Been printing the manual download 
for Ale. Articles, web sites etc.

A question.  Do you use the "Beacon" Set up they mention?
I read it again last night and thought it was quite interesting.

again thank you,

  Hello Stang,

  >where I type, it sends. 
  You have an option to send only when you type the "Enter" key (to fix errors 
for example).

  >Also in QSB there appears to be a constant resending of the typed material 
till it gets it correct.  not sure but it seems that way.  
  Yes this is normal. Moreover, after a fix number of retries, it is sent a RS 
ID to try to automatically re-tune (i.e resynchronise in time and frequency) 
the transmissions (the RS ID being more sensitive than ALE400).

  If the QSB is too long (more than 90 sec or 15 NAK), it is operated an 
automatic disconnection.

Chuck,
I saw your email and went to 14074 but didn't hear or see you.  Band was 
ruff.
just finished two ALE 400 QSO's with KEIAF AND WB2LMV.  QSB aplenty. I am 
in the same mode of trying to figure it out.  It is getting a little easir.. I 
have made 5 ALE400 contacts in the last two days. I may have to adjust my 
screen colors (Multipsk) where I type, it sends. If that can be done.  They are 
both red, and it has been confusing me.  Also in QSB there appears to be a 
constant resending of the typed material till it gets it correct.  not sure but 
it seems that way.  WB2MLV made a comment about that.  So more study.  

 Good luck.

  Is anybody on to tinker with ALE400?? It's 1751Z I'm monitoring 14074.00 
and will monitor most of the rest of the day.

  I'm still trying to figure it out so please bear with me till then.

Tony,
I was going to mention the bumps. HI HI. I ran a MFJ Iambic Keyer ( a group 
of us in the Brandon club started using them). I had it mounted on a thick 
piece of plexiglass next to my leg on a long floor/hump mounted stem.  When 
you hit the bumps, "all bets where off" ,you just went with the flow.  I 
used to send the cw correction, then cw "just hit bump in road hi hi" the 
receiving hams got a big kick out of it.
Hope to work you.

  Hal, 

  Seems the majority of MT63 activity is on 20 meters - 14108.0 / 14109.0. It 
is sparse though. I do see some using the 500Hz mode around 3586.0. I can meet 
you on 14108.0 if you like -- it's 0210z.
