Check the MixW Yahoo egroup: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mixw/The extra MixW help files are in the "Files" section. Macros are configured by right click on a macro button, there are many types of macros so look at the macro "menu". Also if you filled out your "Personal data" in MixW under "Configure" you call and QTH will be inserted in the macros by default. Also post on the MixW site, a lot of help there from users too. AFSK is easy to use and hardly anyone but the "died in the wool" RTTY users do the hard key FSK these days, the sound card programs have great "audio filters" built in.

eHam Forums / Elmers / US Amateurs out of band?

A few weeks ago on about 14.070 (PSK) I monitored a station who must have left his VOX active after a PSK QSO. For a half hour could hear him and another ham chatting on a repeater, most likely two meters, the repeater ID'd in voice but was to low of volume and mixed with PSK tones to catch the ID. I know this was not a harmonic of two meter FM. Only could get parts of calls due to the PSK tones mixed in with the voices. The calls were in the 9 area so was not local freak signal mixing. Hope the ham at the base realized what he was broadcasting in the CW part of the band when he shut down the sation for the day or night.

eHam Forums / Elmers / PSK31 Transmit woes

Another thing you might check is the sound card setting in DigiPan, Configure, Sound card, verify that the correct sound card shows both the same for input and output. Then also check the Configure, Waterfall drive, this is the receive control, check the slider that coresponds to the input like "Line In" or "What you hear" and that the check mark is under that slider. Same for Transmitter drive, two things that should show are Volume and Wave sliders the other sliders can be muted, if there is a Line In slider there, that can be used for RX input depending on how the software set up the sound card . Wave slider set at about the third bar from the bottom, Volume slider controls the audio going to the Mike or modulator of your rig, use the Volume slider to control the output power of the TX, careful not to overdrive. Check this web page for sound card setting: http://www.waypoint.com/users/~discobay/section_7.htm

If you could decode them, the messages would be pretty uninteresting stuff, almost like monitoring taxi cab calls on your two meter rig if it has extended receive.
Where are the UPI and AP these days? Those two were above the twenty meter ham bands back in the 60's. Gave the old Teletype Model 15's and 28's a good work out, ate up a lot of paper too ;-)

eHam Forums / Elmers / APRS/Packet newbie...

Hello Denny, Try to answer a few of your questions. Most common frequency for APRS around the USA is 144.390 simplex. You should be able to use UI-View and the AGWPE applications together for APRS on the soundcard. Maybe check the help files in UI-View, Roger is pretty complete with how to set things up with UI-View. There is a Yahoo egroup for UI-View, and if you search the archives on the group site, there should be an answer or you can post questions to the group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ui-view/

eHam Forums / Digital / VHF TNC
|

Might be difficult to build a TNC without a special CPU chip and EPROM, most of these chips are "owned" by KAM or Timewave who took over the AEA PK TNC Line, and they are for replacement. Might look for a used TNC here on eHam net or other ham radio classified ad sites. Lot of TNC's are going cheap as VHF Packet operation in most areas of the USA are dead or pretty much dead. The TPAR may have some TNC kits you could build: http://www.tapr.org/tapr/index.html
