[M100] Hello (again) from a newly-minted ham radio operator

2017-01-12 Thread Roger Mullins
Definitely good to be back. :-) As to Jeff's question below... I've been pondering the M100's usability for ham stuff, myself. Besides the really cool log program that brought me back here in the first place I've also seen some guys around the web doing some pretty cool stuff. This guy over at

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. Cheers/73,Bert/KG4BEC/VK3JCL On 01/11/2017 01:03 PM, Jeff Gonzales wrote: > anyone

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. Cheers On Jan 11, 2017 9:02 PM, "Ken Pettit" wrote: >

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. Douglas KA2UPW/5 On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 7:54 PM, Ken Pettit wrote: > Hey Jeff, > > What do yo umean

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. :) Ken On 1/11/17 11:03 AM, Jeff Gonzales wrote: anyone doing any

anyone doing any digital stuff? what's all the rage these days? what about managing to still incorporate an m100? On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 1:47 PM, Phil Wheeler wrote: > Many of us go back and forth, Josh: Just wait awhile :-) > > Phil W7OX > > On 1/10/17 3:14 PM, Josh
