 Hi all-

 I was actually a member of this list several years back, but I've sort
 of neglected my M100 the last little bit (two young kiddos tend to
 monopolize free time!).  Anyhow, I passed my Technician and General exams a
 few months ago for my amateur radio license and have been learning the
 ropes as an operator.  In my search for a good way to log contacts I
 happened across Ron Wiesen's programs and that led me to dust off my 100

[M100] Update to mComm for Android

2017-01-11 Thread Kurt McCullum
I have uploaded a minor update to mComm for Android. The virtual modem
feature had an issue with carriage returns under SSL connections. Other than
that it's unchanged.

 

I'm working slowly on my imap email client but it's coming along.

Digital stuff in ham radio?  APRS of course. :-)  I thought about DSTAR
and Echolink, etc. but to me, as much fun as that is, it just feels
wrong in ham radio to rely on a technology that uses the internet.

Digital ham radio modes. i.e., computer ham radio modemish things :)

There are lots of different modes for different bands and it might even be
possible to drive it from a Tandy 100 - esp. indirectly just as a terminal.

Welcome to the group Roger.  I still have a couple items on my "to do"
list for writing M100 assembly code to read the frequency of the
cassette port and decode digital data.

Hey Jeff,

What do yo umean by "digital stuff"?  I do digital stuff every day 
(designing a 14nm ASIC).  With 7 mm^2 of unused die area, I keep 
thinking how cool it would be to shove a full M100 implementation in 
there.  :)
