Hi Joe.
Thank you for the answers.
Also here uses a program for the control of the rotors 
(as is small the world !!) taking the data from [azel.dat]
 One of I these days will add the routine for set of 
the frequency also.


Thank you

Ermanno / ik7ezn

p.s. Do I be trying to decode from a recorded file 
( S key of Linrad) but probably don't find the any 
sync for the time not real, any suggestion?


I assumed, as you did, that raw data files saved by the Linrad S 
command do not have time information.  I now understand from Leif that 
this is not so.  I do not tested to see whether, when one reads a raw 
data file back into Linrad, it is possible to have Linrad send network 
data -- and if so, whether the network data will have the original UTC 
time stamps.


I will probably put a Save feature into MAP65, anyway.

Currently the time stamp is incorrect. (It is the time of the PC when
playing back) It will be the time when data was recorded in the next
Linrad version.

Hi Rick,

I am wondering why on the Linux machine you didn't just run the NTP 
daemon? I've been using that method for years and it works extremely 
well. Using the NTP daemon would allow for even better accuracy of the 
clock on the Linux machine than just doing an ntpdate prior to running 
xLinrad.


The simple reason is that with my present setup most of the available 
ethernet bandwidth is used for the data being multicast from Linrad to 
MAP65.  I don't want either of the two computers using the network for 
non-essential purposes, causing collisions and dropped packets.


I'm still in the early learning stages of using multicast data, and I 
want to understand the system's limits as well as I can.


I expect that with two network interface cards in each machine and a 
dedicated private line for the multicast data, ntpd will indeed be the 
way to go.

Hello Ermanno,

 The first impression is extremely positive particularly way the 
 management of the automatic polarization also on signals that I was not 
 able to see on the screen of Linrad.
???
Something is wrong here. In case you want the highest sensitivity and
set Linrad parameters accordingly, you should see everything in the Linrad
waterfall all the way down to signals that are too weak for sync to
be established in MAP65. Admittedly this will not be easy in case you 
want to see the entire 90 kHz bandwidth while you have many spurs that
would fill the waterfall with signals everywhere. In such cases you could
zoom the Linrad waterfall to show 1 pixel per fft bin or you could
run watzo to allow fast zoom all over the band. 

 I have written directly to you because on the mailing  I don't succeed 
 to send attached files.
 
 possible improvments:
   1) Set tx-frequency as QSO Freq. even using the same routine of the 
 Linrad (users_tr.c)
 2) syncronize the time from a PC to the other so that they have lined up 
 perfectly or ignore the time sent from Linrad completely.
I think there are standard programs that do the time synchronization.
In principle the decode routine should use the time stamp from Linrad.
Today it is not particularly accurate, but in the future Linrad might
change to give the correct time for when the first sample of each
data block was actually read by the A/D converter. For JT65 high
accuracy on timing is not needed, but other things may be developed
in the future...

The timing for the transmitter should be controlled by MAP65 or
whatever software one uses for transmit. The delay from the
A/D read in Linrad until the data arrives in MAP65 may change
by fairly large amounts depending on the Linrad parameters.
