Digi Modes

[N1API]

I use most of them except the JT modes. They require too much processing and also are very limited in the amount of data you can send in one transmission, (I believe limited to 80 characters), and one complete transmission takes about 5 minutes, by the time you've made the transmission you could have gone made a cup of coffee and been back for the "over".

I use the Rigblaster Advantage for my 1000 MP and a Rigblaster Plug and Play for the Yaesu 857-D.

Jeff N7YG http://www.n7yg.com/ has some articles on PSK on his web page. He also gave a nice power point presentation on digital as a whole at the 10-10 convention a couple of years ago. The presentation used to be on the 10-10 web page but when they put in the new page that link was gone. I think if you email Jeff he still may have it and can send it to you. I thought that I had it but can't find it. It may be on the archive drive and if I locate it will send it to you.

Anyone have experience using RTTY, BPSK, JT65 (Steve?) and other digital modes for HF?
Any comments/advice you can give on selecting MIXW, DigiPan, FLdigi, & others would be appreciated, especially if you use the Signalink USB.

Recently purchased a Signalink USB for use with my TS-450. Made my first QSO with BPSK last night but I'm unsure if the TX is tuned proper.

The Tutorials that I saw were incomplete and the guides are.... just guides. Tried tuning with FLdigi and could not get the ALC to back off using the TX Audio control. Processor was off.

I guess I could contact Tigertronics as a last resort.

Thanks for reading.
