Hi Pete
Ha Ha! poetic justice as you say.
I'm sorry, ha ha, that you had some unknown happening with your PC.
have you found out why the PC crashed the other day. I also use opto
isolators between rig and PC com port as graham suggested, but then
it was to prevent earthing loops which can sometimes be a
problem. Chris says he uses capacitor isolation but I am not sure
how he manages that as PTT requires a constant connection to earth while
sending, and a capacitor connection would only have been transient.
Perhaps he uses some sort on/off gating, but we were on CW so did not have much
time to go into it.
I intend to have another go with 'Opera' shortly,
but have to fit it between my other jobs.
Today, after an hour viewing the the Thames pagent,
and another on 500kHz, I managed to get back to organising the cupboard
shack. With terminations fitted I am nearly ready to start testing
the remote setup, perhaps tomorrow.
Will listen out for you on VHF
tomorrow.

Yes Dennis
A lot on nice amateurs shifted frequency to give me a report which
was nice.
Well the application would not pick up a com port, the window was
just blank, and try as I might the damn thing wouldn't connect. I played
around with the port USB numbers in application manager but nothing
worked....... left it over night and all is well in the morning
..... you tell me?
Oh and while we are on. Is this what you refered to during our
QSO........ "Maybe get Dennis on as well....... I have reservations about
encouraging Dennis with computers after the VAC debacle! "
The dictionary definition is ... A sudden, disastrous collapse,
downfall, or defeat; a rout. A total, often ludicrous
failure.
Which of the above definitions don't you agree with? .......... hee
hee sorry Dennis .... If I mention any one in a mail I usually CC them it's
only descent. But I thought you would grab hold of that .....
:-)
Anyway you will smile when you hear that I have just dropped a full
cup of tea on the carpet while answering this ...... Poetic
Justice?
Opera is a form of CW and as such deserves a look at like FSK but
probably narrower that 20c/s at the keying rate used. I have some comparisons
and a method of calculating the band width of CW somewhere I reckons it's very
narrow.

Hi Pete
Been busy and did not read your emails until it
was too late, but judging by reports it looks good, though pity about PC
crash. It seems that you sorted out the opera keying, I wonder
what was wrong before?
