Andy quotes 16 bits on the
yahoo for the fun-Q , I though was 24
well this has been about for a
while , with the PIC based projects that
needed the £20 pic pr-loaded to finish
the job ...... most hard-faced one I
watched , was the digital voice , who after
many hams helped the project , some
with code etc , sold out to become d-star
At least Georges svg packet-engine , kept
the last free working issue on his web-site
, nothing wrong with that , and the commercial
version of ROS doesn't seem to be on the
horizon , so that's another mad-chicken shot
But your right, in the land of 'not as we
know it' A request for a special tx
permit to test a hardware based
spread spectrum modem for HF was actually
rejected ..how much is a pactor modem or the
super-packet hf modem to buy ?...... imagine if
some one then posted a free for all
software version ..... that would of caused
a big pie-fight !
Echo ? only of the past hihi

Hi Graham
Yep it's Ham Radio Graham, but not as we know it.
BTW, Do you get the feeling there's an echo somewhere on this
reflector??

Well unintended consequence may
be playing a part in this as well , by the time
the project was finished ,I think it
was out of economic production range ,
the rest is on-going history as development costs
probably will not be re-claimed , its cheap
, but not that cheap , same as lots
of posts about making digital
back-ends for older HF radios ...eh !
, £10 soft rock or a dongel , job done ,
something in qst / qex looks 10 years too
late , why not a Leakey grid 6c4 AM detector ,
if you want to go retro
24 bit compared to the 8 bit USB-TV ,
but apparently that's not the problem that
might be imagined ......Ive one sitting in the box
, still slowly working down the things to do
list ......... now one that Tx over that range .
that would be handy !

Hi Marco
Beware vested interests we are talking cheap here, Funcube is not
cheap!!!!!! This whole exercise exposes the dark side of
ham radio publishing. I could say more but suffice to say the DVB-T stick
is probably a lower spec than that. But
not at a ratio of 10 to 1!!!

Hello
Pete,
I
bought a Funcube Dongle (covers 60-1700MHz) 2 weeks ago and it’s very impressive
how this small USB stick works.
I
compared on 4m (70MHz) the Funcube with my converter and could receive with the
Funcube dongle many stations via Sporadic E nearly with the same signal
strength.

Save those precious Euros because you
don’t know how long they will be around. Try HDSDR with Balint Seeber’s
BorIP app and ExtIO.USRP DLL using ultra-cheap Software Defined Radio with RTL2832 (chip set) DVB-T USB
stick.
These DVB-T USB Digital TV sticks are about £5 to £10 from UK source and
cover about 50megs to 1.7gigs and with an up converter 60meg O/T osc the cheap
way or expensive Monolithic IC local Oscillator 5v into an SLB-1 or similar
block mixer; you too can have a USB (no sound card) SDR RX with DC to UHF
coverage for peanuts all run off the USB supply just add antenna.
Oh and guess what the stick gets you all your local digital TV stations
with record facility and all your local Digital radio and if that’s not enough
all your local FM BC as well. Not a lot of people know
that!
You won’t read about
this in Radcom……. :0)

Hi
Piotr,
Thanks for the overview of programs. That's what i searched
for.
But maybe i have expressed wrongly what i need. I assumed a SDR software
is also for a mono input, not only for IQ inputs. Are the programs you're
referring on usable for both, IQ and mono?
Well, i'm waiting for one of my SL
teachers (Wolf or Markus :-) ) answer. If there is a solution in SpecLab i would
prefer that i think...

they have a very powerful radio console which looks like a regular transceiver
