Hello Roman
I will tell a little bit about my beacon.
The PA is a converted CB-PA with 80/150W and 28MHz.
I had to change all the filters to 505Khz. Now it has 70-80W as linear amplifier. Than was a Software Defined Transmitter SDT added. It was a kit of SoftRock RX/TXv6.6 for 160m (about 30€). I had to change the filters to 505kHz. This SDT has a small PA with 1W. But you can easily get more than 2W. The SDT has a single Quartz 4MHZ. This gives me a center frqeuency of 500kHz for RX and TX. The Frequency range is twice of the sound card band width. That means in my case 480-520kHz. The input into the SDR is a I/Q-Signal with the freqeuency of 505.145kHz -500kHz = 5.145kHz.
How do I come to this signal?
To create the modulated signal I am using Spectrum Lab with a center frequency set to 1000Hz. Spectrum Lab can all the modes I am transmitting till now. With other programs I could use modes like Wolf. But in Germany we are limited to 505 to 505.2 kHz = 200Hz band width for 6 beacons.
Therefore Wolf needs to much frequency.
Now back.
We have got a modulated signal for one mode. With the audio editor you can put together several modes to series. This audio signal has to be converted with MOKGK (RX_TX_kgksdr11.exe) to a I/Q-signal with this necessary 5.145kHz.
The right signal for the SDR on the frequency of DI2AT.
You can send it directly via sound card to SDT or what I am doing I am storing the audio signal into a SD-Disk and use it with a MP3-Player. That means I need a MP3-Player, SDT and a PA for the beacon during transmitting. Nothing more, no computer.
Uff!
The horizontal part of the antenna is pointing to south/ west. That means the max. gain shows directly to Moscow.

Roman let me now if you have some additional questions.

Good luck
Roland DI2AT/DL3NDR

Hello Roman
thank you for the really surprising report.
The world is sometimes full of, I hope only good, surprises.

I hope all next surprises will be good.-)
Now I know I was copy your trace here so often.
It was a first time when I copy a readable signal DI2AT here.
I copy only line before that.Because it I was not sure.

You are forestall my questions!)
I'm so very interesting whats TX are you use for too match modes at once?

Beacon parameters:
Call: DI2AT
Operator: Roland DL3NDR
QTH: Neunkirchen a. B. / Nu"rnberg
Locater: JN59NO
TX: Software Defined Transmitter of SoftRock
Software: Spectrum Lab, MULIPSK, MixW, Audio Editor, Audio player
PA: CB-PA, adapted to 500kHz ; 70W

What is a amp mode are you use for that?
AB class?
What is a model of CB-PA you are adapted to 500 kHz?
Is it possible to look fotos of your equipment?

Antenna: inverted L, 50m, 10m high; 1W ERP

Not so high.I suppose that.
In my observations I'm copy well the signals of the stations with antennas 25-30 m's high here.
Tell me pse how is oriented your inv-L?

Perhaps you can sometimes receive another modes.

I hope-)


73!
Roman

Best wishes
Roland DI2AT/DL3NDR
