Re: [DX] Sony XDR-F1HD ohjaus tietokoneella

2013-11-09 Thread Arto

Moi,
voin minä tässä joutessani jonkun tuollaisen pusata. Sovitaan suoralla 
maililla yksityiskohdat.


Seeeduino maksaa Singaporesta tilattuna parikymppiä:
http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/seeeduino-v30-atmega-328p-p-669.html

Virtalähteen osat on ehkä kympin ja lisäksi sekalaista piuhaa ja 
nippeliä, postikuluja jne.


Virrankulutus on n. 0,6A @12V, joten radio lämpeneekin olennaisesti 
vähemmän.

Wau, tuo olisi hieno. Varsinkin tuo OIRT-ominaisuus!
Nyt jos joltain voisi vielä ostaa tämän työn, kun itse en osaa mitään tehdä,
niin täällä olisi yksi asiakas:-) Ainakin yhteen radioon. Mahdollisesti
sitten toisenkin jos toi pelittää hyvin.

Subject: [DX] Sony XDR-F1HD ohjaus tietokoneella

Hankin joku vuosi sitten Sony XDR-F1HD:n, mutta tuo mainio rx on jäänyt
viime aikoina aika lailla käyttämättömäksi, paljolti surkean ergonomian
vuoksi. Muutin sen reissukäyttöä varten toimimaan 12 voltilla, mutta silti
se on kulkenut mukana useimmiten turhan panttina. Kotosallakin tulee
mieluummin käytettyä SA3ES:ää.

Kesällä huomasin, että Puolassa oli tehty tietokoneliitäntä XDR:lle.
http://redakcja.radiopolska.pl/konrad/?page_id=10
Toimintaperiaate on hyvin samanlainen kuin mitä teimme AVA:n kanssa
RDSDX-softan ja SA3ES:n välille viime vuosikymmenellä. Niinpä innostuin
hankkimaan tarvikkeet ja pienen sähellyksen jälkeen systeemi alkoikin toimia
ihan mukavasti.

Kotelon sisään sopiva Seeduino-kontrolleri hoitaa raudan ohjaukset ja
keskustelee USB-liitännän kautta tietokoneelle. Käyttöliittymäksi on tehty
yksinkertainen ohjelma (XDR-GTK) joka pystyy käyttämään hyödyksi kaikki
raudan tarjoamat mahdollisuudet. Esimerkiksi kaistanleveyden voi asettaa 29
asentoon, FM:llä välillä 9-309 kHz ja AM:llä 1.1-38.6 kHz.

Mielenkiintoisin uusi ominaisuus on OIRT-alueen kuuntelu. Rx menee 55
MHz:iin asti, mutta en ole testaillut herkkyyttä kuin Nummelan 70.018 MHz
majakan OH2FOUR avulla. Sony oli herkempi kuin oma 70 MHz
vastaanotinsysteemini FM:llä.

Lisäbonuksena on vielä SW-alueiden vastaanotto, eli AM-alue kattaa
aukottomasti 100-3kHz. Sielläkin XDR tuntui toimivan yhtä hyvin kuin
Icomin 706.

Käyttöliittymä on aika askeettinen, mutta silti se kuormittaa konetta
yllättävän paljon. Vanha läppärini hehkuu 50% CPU-kuorman alla. Myös
monenlaista kivaa lisäominaisuutta tuohon vielä kaipaisin, kuten muistit,
skannaus ja lokinpito. Vaan kyllä tämä systeemi tällaisenaankin tuo
melkoista lisäarvoa vanhalle huippuvastaanottimelle.

Jos joku on kiinnostunut tästä muutoksesta niin voin antaa vinkkejä.

t. Arto Harjula, OH2BGN

[HCDX] 4985.5

2013-11-09 Thread Dave Valko
Heard a station this morning from 1102 past 1125 UTC on 4985.5.  Definite man 
announcer, possibly preaching, with music on occasion.  Faded out as the late 
Latin Americans do at this time here.  I checked my recordings and the man 
announcer does sound similar to the one on R. Voz Christiana that was heard on 
4985 last year.  I haven't seen any loggings of it lately.  Is R. Voz 
Christiana on 4985.5 now??  Here is a link for a recording from this morning, 
1103-1104 UTC.

** BANGLADESH. 15505, Nov 9 at 1358, the Bangladesh Betar IS is JBA, and just 
too weak to tell whether there was a timesignal when it stopped at 1400. It`s 
no longer showing up any better (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 9420-9448 approx., Nov 9 at 1424, extremely distorted FMy 
blob, like I have been attributing to 9430 FEBC Philippines transmitter, which 
has certainly acted up before --- but now I can still detect the latter with 
weak signal amid this mess. 

Then at 1428 I find that the blob modulation matches CNR1 jammers on 9605 and 
9530 vs VOA, and, out-of-synch, also 9450 CNR1 jammer vs Sound of Hope. Aoki 
shows nothing to explain the blob, no non-jam CNR1 services listed in the 
range. Remember that the CNR5 9410 transmitter used to go haywire but remained 
around its nominal frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CHINA [non]. 9570, Sat Nov 9 at 1210, Cantonese hour of CRI, VG via CUBA has 
some really beautiful music, soprano with full orchestra, an opera? (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9965, Nov 9 at 0630, pulse jamming here, against nothing but 
a JBA carrier. Could it be R. República, Costa Rica(?) teeny transmitter 
reactivated after years? Doubt it, but the DentroCuban Jamming Command is not 
taking any chances. Still pulsing against nothing at 1208. Aoki B-13 has 
nothing on 9965 at either time; HFCC shows ``HBN`` Palau could be on 9965 any 
time between 13 and 10 UT, but that would have no bearing whatsoever upon Cuba.

6000, Nov 9 at 1348, no RHC audible, but a JBA carrier which could be CNR1; 
mainly QRDRM from 5995 Australia, which doesn`t convert to AM until 1400. So 
evidently RHC is running 6000 for only one hour in the mornings now, at 12-13. 
I see that B13 Aoki, now fully available at 
http://www.geocities.jp/binewsjp/ia/bib13.txt
still has RHC on 6150 instead of 6000, despite having moved belatedly months 
ago to avoid Australia, as I reported immediately.

17580, 15340, 13780, 11860, 11760, 11750, 11690, Sat Nov 9 at 1533 music show 
from RHC sounds like favorite, `Cancionero Iberoamericano`, but missed opening. 
I want to check their program schedule, even if outdated, but can`t reach it 
via http://www.radiohc.cu 

We do get very different results using Firefox and IE. On Firefox there are 
linx to INTERESANTES pages, like frecuencias, programacion, but they lead to 
blank pages. On IE, there`s a lot more to be seen on the primary language 
pages, but the links don`t show up at all within the black bar just below the 
title. What a mess, just like their SW transmissions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, Nov 9 at 1157, good signal from R. Verdad --- in Japanese 
with dramatic music background past 1201; weakening by 1217. Sounds like the 
same kind of program heard in Chinese around 1130, maybe same source. TGAV no 
doubt has had DX reports from Japan, and concludes it really has an audience 
there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Nov 9 at 1415-1420, fair signal with great Kurdish 
music tnx to the PKK terrorists via PRIDNESTROVYE, but marred by IADs several 
times per minute. IADs (intermittent audio dropouts) aren`t nearly as bad as 
IEDs. Aoki shows this switching from Grigoriopol to Kostinbrod (Bulgaria) at 
1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SLOVENIA. 21300-USB, Nov 9 at 1525, Mike, near Ljubljana, says it`s a 
special event call, but never pronounced slowly and clearly: sounded like 
S560R, i.e. with three numbers in the middle. Leads nowhere in QRZ.com nor 
other permutations tried. Ideas? Said he was going QRT for an hour. 425 DX News 
has previously reported such format calls for special events in Slovenia (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Nov 9 at 1159, pulling a JBA carrier aside 5025 Cuba, 
just in time to hear it cut off at 1200:00* sharp, i.e. SIBC autotimer. No time 
to confirm it`s on the lo side of 5020. Two minutes earlier tried to do the 
same on Micronesia 4755.5, but missed it, or still inactive. Otherwise, Pacific 
signals on 60, 75 and 90 metres have been pitiful. Nothing detected on 90m from 
PNG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 21630, Nov 9 after 1400, REE is still here on ill-chosen 
new frequency, colliding with BBC Hausa via ASCENSION until 1430. At 1509, now 
it`s colliding with WHRI, gospel huxter in English! and making a SAH. REE 
supposedly stops 21630 at 1600, and on weekends only, WHRI starts 21630 at 1500 
instead of 1600. 

21630 is carrying a silly ballgame, // 17595, but at 1511, 21610 is NOT --- 
instead alternative programming with a YL talking about YL affairs. (21540 is 
just Kuwait; Spain`s other collision would have closed at 1500.) SBG still 
going on 17595 at 1535 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 15520, Nov 9 at 1400, fair signal in presumed Tibetan, as in 
Aoki, VOT via MADAGASCAR at
