This set up will not work with the HTX 202, but works great when used with other radios and ht's. There seems to be a problem with audio from the htx 202 to the tnc. The tnc does not want to decode the htx 202 audio. But remember, it works great with other rigs?????????? We playe dwith the deviation and it did not help the problem. I did this in spite of the fact that i belive that it is a problem with the audio out of the radio speaker jack, not the tx audio. THE QUESTION IS........ Has anyone had this problem??? If so, how did you fix it?????????? Your help would be greatly appreciated.. The subject tnc has a xmas gift for this 11 year ham.. He is dying to get this thing on the air!! tnx and 73 Mark..

Certainly, in Canada, and perhaps elsewhere, we are in much better position to use new digital modes without worry as to whether or not their "characteristics" meet the requiremnts of the regs. We do have to watch our privileges, bandwidth, callsign identification and the agreements as to the "bandplans".

These operate for the most part in the 902-928 MHz and 2400-2483.5 MHz bands. There is the FCC-allocated Data-PCS band (2390-2400 MHz), although there is no use of that band yet by unlicensed Data-PCS devices. For HF operation there is the 13.553-13.567 MHz band that might be used for some kind of unlicensed lo-power data under FCC Rule 15.225. There is a proposal for a National Information Infrastructure band, actually two band segments at 5 GHz, pending before the FCC.

I'd suggest a KANTRONICS KPC-3 TNC and start with a simple terminal program for the Mac like Zterm (available via your AOL connection) that is shareware. The KPC-3 will come with good docs that will show you how to connect to your HT.

Amateur packet radio is, in most cases, half duplex in nature. A single radio is used, and can only transmit or receive at a given time.

The general wording is that you've got to ID in morse if you're using some newly devised encoding, but a recent FCC statement held that Pactor, Gtor, Clover, etc. are all within the spirit of RTTY, etc., and that IDing in the mode, rather than morse was OK (that's how I interpreted the info from the FCC). ) )Certainly, in Canada, and perhaps elsewhere, we are in much better )position to use new digital modes without worry as to whether or not )their "characteristics" meet the requiremnts of the regs.

Good Bye and God Bless >Robert Wakefield-Carl >robert@ulead.com.tw http://www.seed.net.tw/~ulead Although your description to me is vague about what band, sensitivity, IF BW, demodulation mode, etc. you wish to use, I might suggest the Philips (used to be Signetics) NE605 or NE625 which are close in performance, and represent a combination of the (almost ubiquitous) NE602 mixer-oscillator (ie. front end/1st converter) and the NE604 2nd IF strip IC which can handle either AM (via the RSSI pin) or FM (via an external quadrature coil) or SSB (via an external BFO). Of course, you supply the filters and external matching components. If this is far too complex, and you merely wish to receive AM Broadcast, I might recommend the (sort of famous) Plessey 3-pin TO-92 packaged radio IC called ZN-424 (or something very close to that) Regards and God's love, Dave Devries, Radio Design Engineer From Unknown Fri Jan 05 11:43:22 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.onramp.net!newshost.cyberramp.net!uunet!in1.uu.net!news.ios.com!news From: TeamVideo Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Using the internet to link repeaters??

We now have 13 systems on line including a remote base which is tied in Via a normal phone line on a call up basis. I have been watching an seeing new products being introduced to allow you to talk and send audio over the internet. Internet Phone is an example. I have played with Internet Phone and so far am not too impressed with the quality of the recieved audio. Neverless I thought that it might be feasable to use the internet to link repeater systems via the internet. There are providers selling flat rate service which allows you to connect and be on line without incurring additional charges. So I would like to ask has anyone tried to use the internet for this purpose? Is anyone experimenting in this area? Or can someone give me some info on the feasability of doing this. There are several systems around the country I would like to be able to link to on a comand basis while I am driving around. Obviously LD phone calls are out of the question for this purpose.

I am completely new to this area. I am thinking about setting up a tcp/ip or ipx connection between two computers that are only about half a mile apart. I have no idea what hardware I would need. I gather that I would have to buy two radios. ok. But what hardware for the computers ? Is there a document available somewhere that discusses some possibilities including www addresses of retailers ? Preferably, we would want a connection >=14400 baud. Both computers have ethernet cards but no ethernet/tcpip connection. Is there hardware that plugs into the BNC socket of the ethernet card ? Is this a silly question or a bad idea ? What do people generally use ? Hardware that plugs into a COM port ? I searched the web for most of the night but couldn't find any sites on the hardware subject. Any help is appreciated.

Due a "Disply" when in native mode and note the parameter setting and command word, use them to set the params in kiss. Also, an observation, the tnc will reset itself in kiss mode in periods of inactivity and it tends to return the paramters to default. You will see the STA and CON leds blink three times in succession indicating this. I have had a 1278 for 4 years now.

The WA8DED firmware (commanded to be in "host" mode) requires the terminal program to poll. There are commands to get status, to read a frame, to write a frame, change logical channels, etc. However, Ron's host mode emulator, to my knowledge, was never released to the public domain. The AX.25 v2 firmware was, however. The interface is well documented and is part of the firmware distribution. Everything should be available at the TAPR ftp site, among others. -------------------------------------- Thomas M.

If the IR imagery you refer to is that from low level weather satellites, this information is broadcast on the VHF bands and can be received and displayed on relatively inexpensive equipment interfaced with a PC. The satellites are only up about 400 miles and the signals are fairly strong. No need for dishes as you would need for picking up a geostationary bird. Check out the ham magazines for ads. No need for packet connections for this information. Regards.

Simply put, the spectre of 10 years/$100,000 for using a false callsign doesn't scare anyone enough to prevent it from occuring. Demands for additional authentication are a tacit acknowledgement of this fact. Encryption for authentication is legal in the USA. Hams using real computers for their packet communications could begin using it in short order. TNC/dumbterm stations could use one of the one-time-pad, S/Key, or equivalent mechanisms. Some BBS software packages already have it. The technology is simple. All we need is to want it enough to do it.

I think it will work with TXD, RXD and GND (TX and RX crossed of course) if you set FULLDUP=1 on the relevant port. You can use KISS (unpolled) or NETROM options, although I think NETROM is preferred because it is checksummed. You can add in the handshake lines and diode matrix as per TNC2 node clusters if you want more than two machines linked. FWIW I gave up using serial ports when I picked up a couple of network cards cheaply. The system seems to works better with an ethernet link, possibly because it has less interrupt overhead. I even gave up using network cards when I gave up running the BBS last year..... Dave -- dave@llondel.demon.co.uk Any advice above is worth what I paid for it.

Ask your local ham shop for details of which are : fitted with such. I think most rigs are suitable equiped now, apart from : handies. I agree. I have the Kenwood TM-251A. It is a nice little rig, has extended receive (118.0 - 173.995), tone encoder, etc. It is 'supposed' to be 9600 ready, but most of the commerical rigs still have some problems with that. The data port on the back is a 'mini-din' plug, so if you're interested in packet, buy the data cable with it. It was about two weeks before I could say that I had 'mastered' all of the features. It has two different menus in it to set such things as display brightness, tone alert, scan limits, etc. The three power levels are 5, 10, & 50 watts (advertised), but mine runs about 5, 10, & 40. Current drain is about 11 amps, so get a good power supply. All-in-all, I like it, and if pressed, would probably buy another one. It was a little pricey, but aren't they all these days if you're looking at new. Hope this helps.

Sure. Define an ASYNC port to run KISS protocol on each PC, then connect them together with a serial cable. You'll probably have to use a "null modem" cable, or build one yourself. I'm using a 3-wire cable here with each PC's receive line connected to the other PC's transmit line. 73 de Dave crosbyd@gov.on.ca VE3VSM @ VA3VSM.#CON.ON.CAN.NA From Unknown Fri Jan 05 11:43:56 1996 Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news1!ts12-ind-01.iquest.net!user From: gingrich@iquest.net (David C.

Since I am not the only ham who uses it, we modified our personal minicom startup script to set mycall to our call signs. You just can't do file transfers.

Use a 3-wire (7 will be better) cable. Following is the shematic connexion for the 3-wire cable : 2 <----> 3 3 <----> 2 7 <----> 7 This is for a 25 pins SUB/d connector. Dont forget to add a new PORT configuration on BPQCFG.TXT. Thats all. A such system is running here with a FlexNet node connected to a computer (with BPQ + FBB) and next a second computer (with BPQ + DxCluster).

Gidday, I run 2 computers here, side by side. Computer 1 runs FBB515c along with BPQ408 to 2 DRSI cards and an RS-232 link to computer 2 running TPK with a virtual TNC courtesy of BPQ408a. TPK is running fine with BPQ in their own DOS window under windows 95, which allows me to access internet, run a dummy copy of FBB515c (not connected to anything) as well as do 1 or 3 other things as the mood strikes me. There is no problems just connect it up with a null modem cable - and it works. Got to remember of course to set up the unproto broadcast function on the BBS (computer 1) to get the message header lists on TPK (on computer 2). I run the link at 19k2 baud.

I am using the RJ-11 (or whatever that size connector is called as it is smaller than a standard RJ-11, as in the size of a handset connector) connector.

Both involve rewiring the MOX switch so that one of the cw filters is in line irregardless of mode. The other mode went a step further replacing a filter with one from the FT-101 series.

THe are some older ham magazines and >current antenna books that describe how to build one. >------------------------------------------------------------ >Jeff McLeman jeff.mcleman@airdata.com No, dont use a quad or a beam. You're real problem is the low power. On packet, its not just the BBS that cant hear you, its EVERBODY else on the frequency. Even if you are a block away from the BBS, all the other packet stations need to hear you. If they don't, they will be transmitting at the same time. This is a packet collision. The BBS cant make out anything, and you (and EVERBODY ELSE) will be retrying like crazy. It only takes one HT to fuck up an entire packet BBS for everyone. So, using a beam or quad will prevent the guys off to the sides from hearing you also. So this is a bad thing. The rule for good packet, is for all stations to use an omni antenna up as high as possible, and run as much power as possible. Of course, if you live on an ocean shore, you dont need to worry guys behind you. I use my icom 229 in 50 watt mode into a 5/8 verticle up 30 feet, and it works great till after Christmas when all the new guys put their new TNCs on the air into their new 202s. So, try to be a good citizen, and do whats best for everyone, not what's best for only you.

Close. Run as much power as necessary. Unless you live in the boonies and there are no other PBBS or other nodes on the frequency, you will just interfere with more distant PBBS by running excess power. Necessary power in this case should be enough power to hit all stations that are in the PBBS normal user area. Any more power is both unneeded and of course against FCC rules. 73, Todd N9MWB From Unknown Tue Jan 09 18:25:34 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!mr.net!news.mr.net!dawn.mmm.com!news From: djbeck@mmm.com (David J.

They used to provide an update kit but had so few requests for the kit that they discontinued the kit. Their tech support was very helpful in locating and FAXing to me the instructions for the hardware update which I've completed. The update kit used to contain: 1. New program EPROM (U4) 2. New EEPROM to replace the NOVRAM in versions 1.5 or 1.6 3. New RAM (U6) What I need/request is for anyone who has an upgraded KPC-1 who would be willing/able to send me the EPROM image.

Thank you very much for having my message read. I will introduce the software which I developed today. Packet radio network correspondence e-mail system SPG-NEWS for Windows was developed this time. SPG-NEWS is e-mail software characterized in the operation environment by GUI. Each other of FWD-RBBS and the message of W0RLI and the F6FBB type is forwarded. There are two kinds of communication methods of the following. 1.Method of exchanging message according to forwarding protocol 2.Auto-pilot function to connect automatically at reserved time, to read message and mail of specified genre, and to transmit message which I wrote . The operation environment is Windows3.1 or Windows95. The beta test is done to the fourth edition of a Japanese version in Japan now. The fourth edition (Japanese version) schedules formal release in the first quarter of 1996. An English version is scheduled to be released from the Japanese version release within three months. :-) The home page of SPG-NEWS was established in undermentioned URL. Please see by all means.

Copy improved when I cranked the audio gain on the TS-440 to near max, but still not the the point where I could call it usable.

Card is not auto-sensing - you need to switch jumpers in order to switch it from the AUI port to the BNC port and vice a versa. Have all the documentation, original box, and test program disk (although you shouldn't need it, it's a hardware programmable card). I am currently using this card on my secondary Linux server, and have a 10 base T transceiver plugged into this card's AUI port, and connected to my primary Linux server with cross-over 10 BASE T wiring (no hub). Asking $50. You can see it working if you drive to my place in Grafton, or if you live near WPI we could test it in your machine (if you so desire).

When you log into a (packet) BBS, and list all the messages, GP is supposed to record all those header lines, and save them in a special window. Well, this particlar feature NEVER worked for me. Anyone having an idea how I can solve this problem? My home BBS runs FBB software. O, one more interesting thing: One time I read a message from my home packet BBS, and it came from Norway. It was a message from a norwegian sysop that was complaing about CB-ers using our packet environment without having a licence. He included a screendump from his system showing a list of headers. When the message was scrolling over my screen, suddenly I heard a beep, and when I looked in the BBS window, I had actually recorded all the message headers from the Norwegian sysop message. HELP!!

Obviously you can't connect to commercial servers over the air on the amateur bands but other than that it should be pretty simple. I get on amprnet via the tnc's by using a NOS program running on a 286 to do the ax25 and tnc interface. Then my windoze box is connected to the 286 via ethernet. This allows me to use all the windoze applications over the air. Pretty simple setup and less complicated than trying to find ax25 drivers for winsock tcp stacks. I've been thinking about putting up a limited web server for amprnet here but the speed of the networks don't make it very practical. -be From Unknown Tue Jan 09 18:25:59 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!tank.news.pipex.net!pipex!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.dacom.co.kr!news.netins.net!mcrware.microware.com!dennisg From: dennisg@microware.com (Dennis Gabler) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Re: HELP-Hamcomm recv interface problems Date: 8 Jan 1996 14:06:53 GMT Organization: Microware Systems Corporation, Des Moines, Iowa Lines: 17 Message-ID: <4cr8dt$r25@mcrware.microware.com> References: <4biqd0$n9u@consolidated.ccinet.net> <1996Jan6.170927.1@netnews.wku.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: wahz.microware.com X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #5 (NOV) I have used Hamcomm 3.0 extensivly, even ran on contests with it.

It's my understanding that this is what people are doing. The text of the message is in the clear, but the PGP key added at the end is merely a fingerprint that can be used to authenticate the origin of the message. Encryption of content is not allowed under the rules, but authentication, compression, etc. are all legitimate uses, IMHO.

A MUCH better solution to this problem is the use of full duplex packet repeaters. We have one locally running 9600 BPS TCP/IP, but there's no reason it should be limited to any one encapsulation. I'd like to see the packetcluster nodes, PBBSs, etc. use more full duplex access ports. It does cost more to set up the user port, however the payback is that each station ONLY needs to be able to hear the repeater. Very low power can be used, and a small yagi can be used at any of the stations. Collisions are at a minimum and effective throughput goes WAY up.

Using that as a guide, I will now outline >an idea running thru my head! You might want to listen to the audio samples on Phil Karn's web page. Speech coded as tightly as 2400 baud is intelligible, though at 11 kb using QCELP encoding it is much closer to what we'd accept as "repeater quality", and good enough for digital cellular phone. You can also listen to any of the Real Audio sites on the net. The base rate fits in a 14.4 kb modem stream, though the higher quality RA 2.0 requires a 28.8 kb connection for good quality stereo audio. I expect that "communications quality" mono speech could easily be fitted into an 8 kb data stream. I believe Motorola offers such an encoder on a single chip, and Karn offers C source code that can implement it with just a sound card in a 486 class machine (Turbo C++ and GNU C++ versions for DOS and Unix respectively). 64 kb PCM coding isn't necessary, and is actually rather passe.

We have one locally running Has anyone considered using two different frequencies for these two BBSs? Those 'people 20 miles away" would then be on a different frequency. Oh, horrors, those BBSs aren't passing traffic on the user frequency, are they? I f so, you deserve all the problems you can get. For the price of a repeater, you can set up user ports every 15 miles or so, and have them all link (on a different frequency and band) to the BBS with their own quiet little channel. EVERYONE will get seriously better performance. The point is: either set up a proper network, or quit complaining when it doesn't work right. By the way, the suggestion "use a tall omni, and lots of power" is essentially correct. 73, Don N2IRZ From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 12 14:07:01 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!rain.fr!jussieu.fr!math.ohio-state.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!gatech!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.zynet.com!tesuque.cs.sandia.gov!ferrari.mst6.lanl.gov!newshost.lanl.gov!usenet From: Jim Devenport Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Re: SSTV Date: 9 Jan 1996 21:21:56 GMT Organization: Los Alamos National Laboratory Lines: 11 Message-ID: <4cum9k$hr5@newshost.lanl.gov> References: <4cndth$alg@nnrp1.news.primenet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: jdport.lanl.gov Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.22 (Windows; I; 32bit) To: asken@primenet.com Have you tried the SSTV home page ?? http://www.ultranet.com/~sstv/ -- |-------------------------------------------------------| |Jim Devenport WB5AOX | |All Standard Disclaimers Disclaimed | |My views rarely (if ever) reflect those of my employers| |-------------------------------------------------------| From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 12 14:07:02 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!rain.fr!jussieu.fr!math.ohio-state.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.zynet.com!tesuque.cs.sandia.gov!ferrari.mst6.lanl.gov!newshost.lanl.gov!usenet From: Jim Devenport Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Re: Weird characters received Date: 9 Jan 1996 21:31:58 GMT Organization: Los Alamos National Laboratory Lines: 18 Message-ID: <4cumse$hr5@newshost.lanl.gov> References: <4cs96p$655@engnews2.Eng.Sun.COM> NNTP-Posting-Host: jdport.lanl.gov Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.22 (Windows; I; 32bit) To: fiddler@Eng.Sun.COM Looks to me like you are not realizing yet that much of the machine-to machine data is now encrypted similar to or exactly like PKZIP and PKUNZIP do for compressing data to conserve space on floppy and hard drives, etc. Compression of the data stream allows less crowding of the packet frequencies.

Before you try to use the 'm' command in JNOS, try doing a 'mem stat' command and look at the core left. If this is fairly low, like below 100k, chances are that this is the problem.

I would like to use them between my 486 running Windows (trumpet winsock, Eudora, Ws_ftp, Ewan telnet) and an old 286 running Wnos. It's working at the moment with winsock configured for a slip link thru the com port, but I want to put the 286 at the top of the hill back of my place (to improve the 70cm 9600 bds side). That's about 150 feet away ( ~ 50 meters) and 100 feet higher than the house. Has anyone ever used these cards with Wnos ?. (Any Nos!) I got the Arcnet driver and also a Arcether driver from Crynwr software and tried them both. I recompiled Wnos with Arcnet support but am confused about a few things. The ATTACH PACKET command's last parameter [ip_addr]. What ip address are we talking about here ?. When I do 'ARP ADD callsign ETHER address'. What address is this, Is it the ip address of my other PC or the address of the arcnet card ?. I have tried just about every combination without success. At the moment I am trying to make it work with WNOS at both end. When I get it working I will mess with Windows 95... Do I need to dump these cards and buy new ones, if so which ones ? Hope somebody can help. By the way I am using wnos4b0 to which I added the QRZ callbook server and pop3. It runs on a 640k 286 with just 1 floppy drive and has never crashed... Off course the callbook is on the 486's cdrom drive. 73 and best from Jean-Pierre KC6JET jpheulin@ix.netcom.com kc6jet@kc6jet.ampr.org From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 12 14:07:14 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!nntp.coast.net!howland.reston.ans.net!ix.netcom.com!netnews From: dxtreme@ix.netcom.com (Bob Raymond) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Free Demo:DXtreme Station Log System V2.0 Date: 10 Jan 1996 15:44:21 GMT Organization: DXtreme Software Lines: 20 Message-ID: <4d0msl$ipf@ixnews7.ix.netcom.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ix-nas-nh1-21.ix.netcom.com X-NETCOM-Date: Wed Jan 10 7:44:21 AM PST 1996 X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.92.6 DXtreme Amateur Radio Station Log System(tm) Version 2.0 Designed for HF DXers, this affordable logging program lets you enter your contacts and track the DXCC performance of your station.

Sorry to say; a lot of the Test Drive programs, do a auto baud routine an will change, the TNC to computer baud rate.... Then when your done, it won't work with the settings of your original program. The simple thing to do is to check the baud rate in the program you always use, write it down. Then when you try another program, check the baud rate its running at . Then change the Abaud before you jump out of the test drive back to your normal setting... A "LOT" of these programs use different parms, so if you have favorite settings in your tnc, you'd better do your- self a favor... Do a listing of your tnc settings an do a screen print out. This way you can see the differences in the different programs an tailor the parms to your liking... Hope this helps...

What is it? >TNX Glenn = Hello, Glenn - There was a similar thread on here a couple of months ago, but I don't recall that the 'solution' was ever written up so I'll do it now. Some 486+ computers with some BIOS set a system timer (Timer0) to the 'wrong' mode (Mode 2) for some BayCom-type programs. You didn't say anything about your computer or the actual software you are using so this may not be your problem, but it sounds familiar. One solution is to run a program called PMPFIX10 by KM6PI before you start the BayCom-type program (there are too many to try to name them all, so I'll use BayCom-type to mean a program that acts like a TNC in software and uses a simple modem for the computer/radio interface). If you can't find this program on the net, send me a note and I'll send it to you uuencoded. It's freeware and includes the C source code and a small ,DOC file. Uuencoded size is about 10k. If you are using AX25.COM by Pawel Jalocha, I can send you a couple of replacement procedures which will make the Timer0 mode change. You'll have to recompile it. If you are using BPQAX25.EXE by G7JJF, I can send you BPQBAX25.COM by myself which is a plug-in replacement, and has the Timer0 mode fix incorporated into the AX25 'kernel'. Incidentally, it was G7JJF who rooted out the PMPFIX program for me when he was testing my variation of the original AX25 code for BPQ and found that neither program would work on his new Pentium, although BayCom did work. If you are using something else, you could either run PMPFIX or, if you have the source code for it just modify it to set Timer0 to mode 3 before starting the rest of the code. Hope this helps. Send me a message if you need 'one of the above' via email. 73 From lwbyppp@epix.net Wed Jan 17 14:25:17 1996 From: Ricker_msn@msn.com (Rick Ruhl) Subject: RE: baycom software Date: 13 Jan 96 14:53:41 -0800 References: <4d0dap$1rn@ccws-21.brunel.ac.uk> Message-ID: <00001fec+0000106f@msn.com> Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.msn.com!msn.com Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Organization: The Microsoft Network (msn.com) Lines: 6 You can't get 1.6 via FTP, it's only available commercially from the BayCom folks.

PacComm is one; I forget the other. It is very forbidden to put 1.6 on any BBS or FTP site. But, it is quite permissable for one ham to make a copy for another Ham, this is stated on the Baycom docs.

The price of this equipment has really come down over the past year. About two weeks ago I installed a 3 mbit/sec link between my offic e and my house using Breezecom equipment. I now troll the internet at the full T-1 rate that is available in my office. The equipment on the office end cost about $1200, but could allow (th eoretically) as many as 64 people to access it. The equipment on my end is on the order of $6 50. It runs spread spectrum between 2400 and 2484 Mhz. The antennas involved are small patch antennas (a la P3d) and I was repeate d told by several companies that they came with "proprietary" connectors so that you could not h ook up higher gain antennas. Imagine my surprise when they showed up and appeared to have standa rd SMA connectors on them. BreezeCom is about to start selling a small dish antenna that they c laim will extend the range of their equipment out to 20 miles or so. This raises a number of i nteresting questions: 1. Given that these are Part 15 devices (no license required) it would seem to me that they could be used for amateur packet radio backbone purposes. It does not seem to be si gnificantly more money than many folks are now spending for 19.2 Kbit stuff. 2. I remember back in the days when we were wrestling with the FCC over unatte nded HF operation, Phil Karn wondered out loud whether we might be better off packing up packet r adio and moving to the unlicensed band. I wondered at the time if he was serious, but I'm wonder ing a good deal less now. Many people in these parts are greatly enjoying keyboard to keyboar d QSO's via amateur gateways to the Internet. The principal reasons they can't get full internet service this way are A. Amateur Packet is too slow, and B. The Internet involves commercial com munication. I don't think that it is beyond the scope of possibility that in some communitie s it might be worthwhile for a amateur (or other) club to fund one or more access points tha t it's members would then use in their homes to access the internet at speeds significantly f aster than ISDN. The rub here, of course, is the cost of the Internet connection from the acces s point, but still I wonder if there aren't some possibilities here. 3. As I understand it, the current spread spectrum STA involves frequencies th at are substantially lower than this and that the users are pursuing data rates that are substantially slower than 3 mbit/sec. I wonder if the ARRL's petition now before the FCC wi ll clear the way to use this commercial equipment with amplifiers in the amateur bands. The unit I am currently using runs 50 milliwatts. I've posted this article in part to bring this to your attention because the t echnology is interesting and relevant, but mostly to determine whether anyone else on this group is experimenting with this kind of equipment. I'd like to compare notes on range , operating conditions, antennas, etc. If there is sufficient interest I would be willing to use my server to host a mailing list devoted to this subject. -- John Hansen, WA0PTV Director, Academic Information Technology State University of New York - Fredonia hansen@ait.fredonia.edu From lwbyppp@epix.net Wed Jan 17 14:25:30 1996 Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!howland.reston.ans.net!ix.netcom.com!netcom.com!NewsWatcher!user From: hbaker@netcom.com (Henry Baker) Subject: Re: Interesting Internet Stuff Message-ID: Sender: hbaker@netcom16.netcom.com Organization: nil organization References: <9600158217.AA821738142@mails.imed.com> Date: Mon, 15 Jan 1996 19:46:32 GMT Lines: 19 In article <9600158217.AA821738142@mails.imed.com>, mack@mails.imed.COM wrote: > I just saw "the Net" last night.

It has probably placed your TNC in "Host" mode; you probably like to have it in Converse mode. If you recall what speed you were using for the Gold demo, match that speed with your terminal program (if it differs) and attempt to send three plus signs. Some TNC return to converse mode with that sequence. Alternatively, set your Other tnc program to Host mode and off you go!

I thought I saw it in the ARRL Handbook, but if I did, I >can't seem to find it anymore. As listed in Part 97.307(f)(3) and 97.307(f)(4), data transmissions may not exceed 300 baud on HF bands other than 10 meters. On 10 meters a maximum baud of 1200 is permitted. Note: baud != bps for some modulations. Baud is symbols per second, but symbol overloading may allow more than one bit to be transmitted per symbol. So data rates considerably higher than 300 bps are possible on HF. Total frequency shift (if used) must not exceed 1 kHz, and total occupied bandwidth must not exceed that of an A3E phone emission per 97.307(f)(2). Now that's legal, but what's practical? On fading HF circuits, baud in excess of 50 will suffer severely from intersymbol distortion. That's one of the myriad reasons 300 baud HF packet sucks so badly. Nor will more power generally help, since the interference comes from your own transmission delayed by the ionosphere. If you increase power, you increase the delayed signal's strength too. The answer is to use a low basic baud while utilizing symbol overloading. Clover II uses 31.5 baud as the basic symbol rate. By overloading, bps up to 750 can be achieved with 16FSM if SNR is adequate. Other overloadings are possible, of course, notably QPSK and QAM. For ARQ protocol modes, use of FEC is highly recomended. HF channel errors are typically burst errors, so a FEC method strongly resistant to burst errors should be used. A technique called "interleaving" is highly recomended. That has the effect of "smearing" burst errors throughout the frame, allowing simple error recovery methods. (Convolutional coding has the same effect for non-block oriented transmissions, but if you use the more powerful Reed-Solomon block codes, interleaving is a must.) Typical HF practice is to use the minimum possible occupied bandwidth as an interference control measure, but for best weak signal performance, use of the widest permissible bandwidth in conjunction with proper signal correlation in the receiver will yield the best results. That's a non-obvious corollary of the Shannon theorem.

I was on the HP-95LX development team and I used the 95 with the Paccom handipacket (still sell it and I still use it). It has internal batteries and size of 1.5 cigarette packs. I used that, the 95LX, Kenwood 215 and could put all that in a 10 cassette audio nylon case -- nice. As for the PCMCIA device. I heard a few years back that a company in japan was working on one, but it was not clear it could fit in PCMCIA. It was the same company apparently that did the Heakit TNC (small portable one ). As for the 200LX, keep in mind you are limited to 100ma at the port and at that, it means very short battery life for the 200LX. I recommend the other route above. It is not all that bad. With the Paccom, you will be best off if you can get away from the rubber duck antenna on the radio. I found the full size 5/8 or 1/2 whip works fine. Just place things away from the TNC and 200LX. (The TNC is generating lots of noise.) I hear you can cut one of the clock lines in the TNC going to the por t (the clock is not used), and that helps a lot. I am not sure I saw much of a difference. I also added a ferrite bead to the TNC cable to the radio. (I suspect that is why Paccom only ships cables that are 6" long -- they would radiate like crazy.) I suspect the ones they ship today are better, but I do not know. Mine was 5 years old and just upgraded the ROM. Good Luck.

Thanks PacComm has licensed the technology. They're currently importing the German units until they can get domestic production started. I've seen both the German unit and PacComm's US prototype, so they're real. The German import is selling for $995. PacComm says the US produced model will be cheaper here when it reaches market, hopefully this quarter. AEA has announced that they will support PACTOR II on their newest DSP box, no release date given. HAL has made happy noises about doing the same on their P-38 card, again no release date has been announced. I haven't heard a peep out of Kantronics about this. They're pushing GTOR and don't seem too interested in other protocols (but maybe they're doing something on the QT, I'm not privy to their inner circle.)

We had a WHOLE spate of people pirating : | callsigns, sending some rather nasty messages. I started the ball : | rolling by installing PGP and preaching to the masses, how wonderful : | PGP is. [...] : Actually, I believe I was first... I would think that the FCC would construe this as illegal behavior, tho, because you are using a scheme of "encryption" that is not widely accepted... Maybe in your area, yes, but not world-wide, *yet*. In general, you cannot use PGP under Part 97, except possibly for satellite control under 97.211(b), as Part 97.113(b)(4) prohibits tranmission of: ... messages in codes or ciphers intended to obscure the meaning thereof; However, you *might* be able to use PGP for *authentication* purposes, as if anyone can decode the message, then (as i read it) this is not intended to obscure but rather to facilitate communication, as it could be used to provide additional identification, for control purposes, and to allow for automatic retransmission of bona fide amatuer communications that would otherwise require manual intervention. Such use may well be acceptable. Be aware though that other branches of government are seriously in opposition to PGP, as it is a powerful tool that has many other uses which they would not be happy with. So, some degree of caution might be appropriate here, so said branches don't put pressure on the FCC to prohibit things we'd like to do. Let me remind folks the author of PGP is currently involved in a legal battle over PGP. On the other hand, PGP may still be a very valuable tool if not over the air, for example, for making sure that messages sent over the Internet intended for retransmission indeed originate from another station in the Amateur Service (this assumes, of course, that the PGP encoded part of the message is not sent over the air). -- KD6PAG (networking old-timer, RF newbie) From lwbyppp@epix.net Wed Jan 17 14:26:06 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!howland.reston.ans.net!cs.utexas.edu!geraldo.cc.utexas.edu!ausnews.austin.ibm.com!news-m01.ny.us.ibm.net!usenet From: herksen@ibm.net (Robbert J. van Herksen) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Where to get empty PCMCIA card????

Ham Radio was technically oriented, almost professional level magazine. Some IEEE journal (Antennas and Propagation amongst others) publish now quite similar articles. In June 1990, Ham Radio was sold to CQ Magazine and since then, I haven't heard anything from it. However, Buckmaster Publishing does sell microfiche copies of Ham Radio. If you have contacts with a ham club, university library or something similar, may I suggest them to get the full set March 1968 - June 1990. Not even the oldest issues are fully out of date, there are many ideas to explore. I was a subscriber of the printed copy of Ham Radio in 1980's, this my only connection to that magazine and persons who worked for it.

I'm beginning to suspect that the 741 op amp > doesnt' have enough gain in this application. I suggest you get version 3.0 Also, as mentioned by others, I have found quite a lot of the wide shift (>500 Hz) commercial RTTY is not copied by hamcom, but all the amateur stuff works fine at 45 Baud and 170 Hz shift. The opamp I use is the TL071 instead of the old 741. You may want to check the supply rails to the opamp during operation to make sure the + and - levels are sufficient at all times. Alos, try swapping the tones. Also, make sure signals are in the centre of the IF pass band. I use a 500 Hz CW filter and tones centered around 800 Hz. I ran some tests on 2 m simplex FM, and had no trouble running anything other than AMTOR ARQ. The best mode was ASCII 8 bit at 200 Baud. The key-up delay of my HT proved too long for ARQ, you need a pretty fast radio for that. You'll need to listen in on a SITOR ARQ signal to nut out the clock correction as per manual. Mine is -2000 for a 12 MHz 286. I reckon the clock correction is only needed for ARQ, with clockcorr=-2000 the clock counter does not move, however, it does wander on FEC signals but never misses a beat. I agree it is very nifty software. The best part is the spectrum display, very handy for identifying shifts, and for calibrating the readout of your radio with WWV. As a CW op, I was less impressed with CW, the KAM certainly does that better, but then again, I have yet to see a machine that copies CW properly. Does anyone know what sort of RTTY is used by those non amateur stations at 850...1000 Hz shift? Also, is there any software that will copy WXFAX with a hamcom style interface?

The testdrive version sucks, however. It has not been updated for years. In addition, it performs all sorts of reconfigurations on your TNC that it does not bother to undo when the 30 minutes is up. Even if you LOVE the testdrive (which I doubt, but you never know), it is unlikely that you will call Interflex up and have a working version of the software in a few minutes, so you may want to use your old software a bit more. My advice to people who are interested in KaGOLD is to STAY AWAY from the testdrive version and go visit someone who is using the real thing to see all that it can do. The testdrive has probably lost Interflex more customers than it has gained them. -Greg -- "A ship is safe in a harbor, but that's not what a ship is for" -- unknown Gregory R.

Beacon Amateur Radio Club re: Getting out HOST mode Tom: The TNC is no doubt in HOST mode. Not a big deal, and it doesn't mean that lots of TNC parameters have been changed. If you do a hard reset, it will reset everything back to factory defaults, but You don't need to do a hard reset !! You can exit from HOST mode easily using any terminal program: Get into your terminal program. Turn off the TNC and turn it on. If you see S00 (that is the letter "S" followed by two zeros) you are in HOST mode. If you see junk, you need to set the program to 4800 baud so that what you send to the TNC can be interpreted correctly. Change the baud rate until you see either S00 (surrounded by FEND characters which look like box corners) or the normal CMD: prompt. When you can see S00, simply send the TNC "FEND Q FEND" (three characters) to pop it out of HOST mode back to CMD: mode. HOST mode is the preferred way to run a TNC for a variety of technical reasons, but programs like PAKTERM are not designed for the TNC, they are what is known as "dumb terminal programs" and for good reason as you have discovered. 73 -- Jeff for questions e-mail to: support@interflex.com See our web page: http://www.interflex.com From lwbyppp@epix.net Mon Jan 22 19:55:05 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!bga.com!realtime.net!news.mindspring.com!uunet!in2.uu.net!prodigy.com!usenet From: BFEF27A@prodigy.com (Maya Kao) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Re: List Opened for Those Interested in High Speed Spread Spectrum Digital Communications Date: 16 Jan 1996 04:17:20 GMT Organization: Prodigy Services Company 1-800-PRODIGY Lines: 10 Distribution: world Message-ID: <4df8sg$ita@usenetp1.news.prodigy.com> References: <30f9ce23.7f0a@ait.fredonia.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: inugap4.news.prodigy.com X-Newsreader: Version 1.2 Can somebody explain to me about the digital 900 mhz spread technology phones offered by Uniden?

Powerful stations like KGO (50,000 watts?) I can receive almost perfectly (at night). Other stations I try (at night) are either barely audible above background static (which makes it impractical to listen to) or weakly fade in and out while periodically being overtaken by some other signal (usually some weird music). What is the best way at a reasonable cost ($75 maximum, preferably $20-$50) to pick up these stations better? New antenna, receiver, etc? Any recommendations for brand, store, etc? Is my price restriction too low for what I want? Is my wish beyond the capabilities of radio waves?

You notice that the set has gone very deaf and that you cannot get into the local repeater. Each time I have found the soldered joint from the centre pin of the BNC to the board to be the problem. The position is a pig to get to and you have to remove the boards, though you do not have to cut any wires or similar, just let them hang loose. After the second time it happenned I used a small bit of braid solderd in to make the connection.

See if you can devise a way to improve qsk. Or at >least speed up the response of the relay so it doesn't chop dits and or >make it quieter. The keying is totally electronic. Q48 drives a diode switch in the 9 MHz IF to key the carrier on and off. The relay you hear clattering is RL1 in the filter unit. It's the TR relay. The only delay it has is a 0.0047uf bypass cap across the coil. I don't think that's slowing it enough to matter. VR109 is the CW waveform adjust. In conjunction with C177 and C178, it sets the keying pulse rise and fall times. Twiddling with it may improve keying. Otherwise, the problem is a timing problem in the firmware between the time T8 is asserted and the time keying starts (ICW asserted by IC10 pin 16). Since IC25 is both the keyer and the control uP, it's possible some timing loop is nested incorrectly causing ICW to be asserted before T8 on initial dits. I'm not a Morse operator, so I'll ask you to try this test. Set the radio for manual keying and tell me if it chops dits when the internal keyer is not used. If it does, then RL1 may be mechanically too slow, and the source of the problem. If it QSKs properly with a straight key, then the problem is most likely in the firmware of the uP.

The testdrive version sucks, however. It has not been updated for years. In addition, it performs all sorts of reconfigurations on your TNC that it does not bother to undo when the 30 minutes is up. Even if you LOVE the testdrive (which I doubt, but you never know), it is unlikely that you will call Interflex up and have a working version of the software in a few minutes, so you may want to use your old software a bit more. My advice to people who are interested in KaGOLD is to STAY AWAY from the testdrive version and go visit someone who is using the real thing to see all that it can do. The testdrive has probably lost Interflex more customers than it has gained them. -Greg -- "A ship is safe in a harbor, but that's not what a ship is for" -- unknown Gregory R.

Has any tried this Antenna without or with the Icom Automatic Tuner (AT-180). This antenna covers 40meters, 15meters, 10meters, 6meters, and 2 meters all in one Antenna.

I have used Ni-Cds, Alkies, and currently am using Lithium batteries in my ft-51r. BTW you cannot charge the batteries WHILE they are mounted in the fba-14 case as the charging terminals are absent. The external power terminals are there however and I have used the EDC-12 to power the radio with the fba-14 mounted. Also, using the fba-14 case it did not matter which battery type I used, I could only get about 1.5W out on VHF with my ft-51r. (UHF power out is unknown as I don't have a UHF SWR/PWR meter yet.)

Well, here are some facts that are also worth mentioning: 1) The modules contain a front end pass band filter for RX, which is generally missing from other rigs, and which is very valuable in crowded parts of the world. 2) Surely the frequency locked VFO is more sensitive than a synthesizer. Do not forget that in return you get a nice and clean signal with very low sideband noise. (wich, incidentally, helps a lot on receive also). 3) combining good RX signal handling with low current drain in a receiver is about as impossible as combining low current drain with high TX output power. 73, Moritz DL5UH From lwbyppp@epix.net Mon Jan 22 19:56:32 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.neca.com!chi-news.cic.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!swrinde!ihnp4.ucsd.edu!news1.ucsd.edu!news-mail-gateway From: braymer@sunbelt.NET (Bobby Raymer) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.equipment Subject: Pagesboy Chargers for sale Date: 22 Jan 96 02:50:25 GMT Organization: ucsd usenet gateway Lines: 4 Message-ID: <01I0AETEZDYE90NFJ1@SUNBELT.NET> NNTP-Posting-Host: ucsd.edu Originator: daemon@ucsd.edu I have couple boxes of Pageboy chargers for sale obo email too braymer@sunbelt.net --------------- From lwbyppp@epix.net Mon Jan 22 19:56:33 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsserver.pixel.kodak.com!bloom-beacon.mit.edu!news.kei.com!newsfeed.internetmci.com!nwgw.infi.net!news.infi.net!usenet From: mbest@richmond.infi.net (Mark Best) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.equipment Subject: Part needed for Zenith Transoceanic Date: 16 Jan 1996 18:53:39 GMT Organization: Best Distributing Lines: 3 Message-ID: <4dgs7j$lts@news.infi.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: h-blue.richmond.infi.net X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.92.6 Part # 95-1567, interstage audio transformer needed for Zenith Transoceanic Royal 1000.

Good point. Besides, the TEN-TEC amp is advertised as 30 watts--hardly the kind of power which will turn the head of an avid 11 meter fan! Sounds to me like TEN-TEC is being a bit over-sensitive and I've written them to make that point. I also suggested that they sell the 6 meter transceiver kit as a 30 watt unit (for more $, obviously). That way, they aren't selling a 6 meter amplifier.

Good luck, Dave WE6L Phoenix AZ One thing the ICOM 706 DOES not HAVE, is a triple conversion receiver, my Kenwood 690 outperforms the receiver of the 706, much quieter, much more selective on HF and 6 meters. 100 watts on 6 meters doesn't sound any better then 50 when the bands are open! The 736 is a wonderful radio and really outperfoms even my 690...so, it just depends on what you really want to HEAR on the HF + 6 side. The 2 meter reciever IS a triple conversion according to ICOM....so at least that side is up to PAR... For the money and the bands covered, the 706 is really quite a package..

I have no experience with hardware decoders, such as the models produced by Universal. Over the past years I've been using the 'Code 3' software, developed in the Netherlands and widely available in Europe. It's easy to use and includes dozens of modes and several useful signal analysis tools. It also tells you automatically what system you are receiving. Only problem is PC-generated interference (which you wouldn't have with a hardware decoder); the advantage is that received signals and messages can be automatically stored on your hard disk for later reference.

Thanks for the >help. > Joe Carter > jbc5@cwru.edu > AA8SF @ WA8BXN.NEOH.USA > I have two of the veritable beasts. As I recall from the tech specs from year s ago, they are NOT 13.8 volts, but slightly MORE. The power pack that comes with them that feeds the battery pack and the unit is higher by a little or so than the 13.8 volts. What I think is happening is that you are discovering that the shutdown ahppens when the unit finally decides that the final line voltage in the unit is too low after some of the in-line resistance has gotten nice and hot. Poof - undervoltage sense. I could be wrong. I think I asked Pat a ZDS engineer up in Dallas one time about using them for mobile service and he told me it would never work, in the long un, off a 13.8 volt line. I wanted to do the same thing you are trying to do and he told me get a DC to AC converter and bring it back down to the ZDS external power cube, then to the box. No workee elsewise. The internal drive is a CONNER drive, if my memory is right. There is an 80 MB drive I recall can be substituted in them from CONNER. You have to be careful, because all CONNER drives are not created equal. You THINK they are. Recall the story about the two bumble bees that flew into an EXXON station for fuel. One hung near the regular pump, one near the the extra pump . The attendant was wiping the feelers of the bee at the regular pump and asked, "I don't understand, you look a like, buzz alike, take on fuel alike, why are you here and he is there?" The bee replied, "I am a regular bee, he is an Esso bee." Bee careful. Henry Fale, now deceased, may he rest in peace, published the trade rag HSCOOP for ZDS faithful for years. In one of the articles in them several years back was the complete procedure for trading out your 40MB drive for the 80MB version. It had all the regular bee part numbers and the Esso bee part numbers for you. I have found that these units WILL tolerate MS DOS 6.2x and WILL remain stable with the MS version of DISK TROUBLER, pun intended. Further, they can be used with QEMM version 7.4 or so with that disk compressor to get you some help on hard disk size. The unit may be heavy, but outside of the problem of the flex cable getting stress riser cracks where the case lid folds, they are VERY good products.

First of all, thanks for reading this message. I'm a 20 year old student of T elecomunications Engineering, now I'm ending my last year in the university an d I've got to make a project to get my graduation. I wish to do the project in a foreign company, and so I write you to ask for any company or research cent re where I can do it. My target is to get a place to do it and then apply for a Leonardo European Comunity 'beca'. So, for the European Comunity will give m e some money, I don't want the company to p ay me much money (but some). About the schedule, I'm interested in starting af ter July and to work there for 6 or 9 months aprox. The area I would want to w ork obviously is Radio, Digital Links, Electronic Design, ... or technical sof tware programmer. Maybe, this is not the plae to put my message someone may think, then sorry, but I think that it is a way to communicate between hams, and to get contact w ith people working in this area. Then, please, if you know any address of possible interested companies or you work in any Research Group, or, if you know anything that would interest me, please write to me. P.D.: I know english, german, spanish, catalan and some french.

Sure! Just about any terminal software with work, such as ProComm. There are lots of shareware packet programs available that will work a lot better than the MFJ junk. LanLink is real good if you use AMTOR. PaKet is a nice packet/mailbox/mini-bbs program. YAPP is a convenient little program that will run off a floppy disk. These are all avail on most ham radio BBS's and FTP sites. 73. -- Gene Kennedy, Mobile AL genek@maf.mobile.al.us genek@dibbs.net wa4wbi@maf.wa4wbi.ampr.org From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 26 13:42:00 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!sundog.tiac.net!news.kei.com!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.wco.com!news From: elewis@dsp.com (Edward Lewis) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: MFJ Software Date: Sat, 20 Jan 1996 17:04:12 GMT Organization: West Coast Online's News Server - Not responsible for content Lines: 3 Message-ID: <31011fc4.1893310@news.calon.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: dsp228.dsp.com X-Newsreader: Forte Agent .99c/16.141 I have an MFJ 1278 B multimode data controler, is there any other software besides mfj's multicom aviable for it. 73 From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 26 13:42:01 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!braintree!news.concourse.com!ragnarok.oar.net!malgudi.oar.net!caen!crl.dec.com!bloom-beacon.mit.edu!gatech!newsfeed.internetmci.com!swrinde!ihnp4.ucsd.edu!news1.ucsd.edu!news-mail-gateway From: 94_089@svc.fcj.hvu.NL (Remco van Essen (Rea)) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: More Memory available in JNOS?

How much memory do you have available before starting JNOS? Depending on options, JNOS typically requires between 400 and 500Kbytes. If you are running anything else, try loading it in upper memory if possible. Even running emm386 with dos=high in config.sys helps. Also, there are some tips in the JNOS readme.now file about making some of the video memory available, giving 704 to 736k total DOS memory. If you have options compiled in which you do not use, they take up memory also, so you should compile (or get someone with a BC compiler to compile for you) a version with only those features you want. Fortunately(?) BC will bomb if you try to compile in too many of the options. It has been my observation that with around 200K available core after starting JNOS, operation is pretty stable. Much less than 70K or so is asking for problems. It is quite normal for the available core to go up and down a bit (some earlier versions would only drop memory!)

The 1274 is pretty much a clone of the TAPR TNC-2, and the MFJ 1270/1274 manual was copied in most part from the TAPR documentation.

The earlier version of the program PHS-250 didn't work well for me in OS/2 but the THS-650 or THS-850, I can;t recall which at the moment, DID work and works VERY well. I was even able to use it well with the AEA PK-900, but I found I had to set it up so that it did NOT re-initialize the thing on start up quite the way it was suggested. It also does not hold the buffer up for inbound stuff on exit so that you can read all the stuff that has happened when it was shut down like the AEA program. If all you want is ONE comm port program going, there is nothing wrong with using the later version of the AEA PPWIN program as a DOS VDM session program. With SIO.153 and OSTSR to gain control if the hog-the-cpu free running blitz these DOS programs create, you can run it just fine with the AEA products. In reality, THS is the only one of these OS/2 jewels I have ever been able to get workgin wiht AEA well. DRSI cards have some other solutions, including the German stuff you are talking about.

One of a few conditions may be happening. The link has truly gone into a link error that it can not recover from or 2) you are using the early version of PK232 pactor firmware, in the first release of the PK232 Pac tor firmware it was possible to have the TNC go into ERROR state while linked by issuing a TCLEAR (clear the contents of the TNC xmit buffer) to the TNC. This was corrected in a later release of the firmware. One other possibility is that you or the other station have an incorrect ADELA Y setting. This should normally be in the range of 4 or 5 (maybe higher if the two statio ns are extremely close). I had a similar experience with the HAL PCI4000M. I could not maintain a link . After making a change to that systems CS Delay parameter it virtually eliminated the problem. I realize that the above do not answer the question of removing the VHF connec tion solving the problem. You may have a cross-talk problem with the PK232 (I have seen that at this QTH).

One scope probe hooks to the PTT line on the transmiting modem and the other to DCD on the receiving modem. Then, connect a low frequency square wave generator up to PTT so it gets keyed on and off at a steady rate. The scope should be set to sync on only the leading edge of PTT. I used this method to measure the PTT to DCD delay on the 56k modems I've been designing. The number I got for them was 3 to 5 milliseconds.

You could also dedicate a serial port (SLIP) link if you can't afford ethernet (ethernet is about 50 bucks a card). But JNOS 1.10m is the state of the art. There are others, but in my opinion: they are crap. TNOS is crap, Linux AX.25 Kernel is crap, etc. The best debugged model is JNOS 1.10m. Get it from: ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/hamradio/packet/tcpip/incoming Shut off all the bullshit (there's a bunch of dumb stuff in there), and you have a great system for the low baud rate stuff. As you get up in speed (56k) you can just drop all the AX.25 crap and go direct VFR. An IBM XT clone is overkill in this application, a 286 is a screamer :-) Steve From lwbyppp@epix.net Fri Jan 26 13:42:32 1996 Path: news.epix.net!uunet!in1.uu.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!howland.reston.ans.net!ix.netcom.com!netnews From: jpheulin@ix.netcom.com(Jean-Pierre Heulin ) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Windows <> ne2000 <> Nos Date: 24 Jan 1996 14:28:35 GMT Organization: Netcom Lines: 27 Message-ID: <4e5fmj$dlv@ixnews7.ix.netcom.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ala-ca14-04.ix.netcom.com X-NETCOM-Date: Wed Jan 24 6:28:35 AM PST 1996 Hello group, I have been trying to get a couple of Arcnet cards working for about a month now without success. I posted several times but did not get many responses. I decided that maybe these cards were not very popular. I saw a few messages from people using ne2000 cards with success so I bought a pair. I have Wnos/Jnos running in a 286 and Windows 95 in a 486. I am using the ne2000 driver from Crynwr, Winpkt and Trumpet Winsock. I have been using this setup for a few years in Win3.1 ( Using slip mode thru the com ports). The cards are talking to each other, leds are flashing but I get no connections. Trumpet trace says 'Unknown TCP'. I will eventually use the Win95 tcp/ip but would like to get the link working first with trumpet since I know that setup is working in slip. Can anyone guide me to the next step ?.. What test should I do next.. Thanks in advance.

Using Pactor, my PK would occationally, maybe every 1/2 hour, go into the ERROR state (error lite on constantly). It will go into that state even when there is a very strong signal. It will not go out of that locked-up state until there is a disconnect caused by manual intervention, or by timeout. Then a reconnect will work very well. I called AEA, and the technician said it sounded like RF was getting into the box. After checking out my setup, I verified all connections were equipped with torroidal chokes, except one which is connected to my VHF rig. I pulled this lead off of the PK232, and the problem was solved, apparently.

(See the Packet Perspectives column in February's QST.) The tests, which also measure other things, are completely automatic (connect, login, file upload to KAM BBS, logout, disconnect), so receiving operators don't have to do any real work or even be at their terminals. We have recently expanded these tests to long-haul links (500-1000 miles), and want to do more of that while distributing the load and getting more variety. What we need: Stations in the SE US (say between the lines from Boston to Texas and Boston to Florida), anywhere from 300 to 1500 miles from Boston. (We'll gladly try other links, but with our antennas pointing south and SW, these are the best bet.) The stations need to be equipped with Kantronics KAMs that can run GTOR. They need to have antennas that have a reasonable chance of communicating with New England (beams nice, but omnis work fine). Freqs will probably be 30m, 20m, maybe 17m, during the day, 80m, maybe 40m, at night. What you need to do: 1. Leave your rig on agreed-upon frequencies at agreed-upon times 2, Leave your KAM in TOR STANDBY, in BBS mode (if PC is off), with your ARQBBS ON (for TOR measurements) Or in command mode (for packet measurements) 3. Empty your PBBS when it's full (every coupla days, at most) (Added bonus: you get to read fascinating, informative messages over and over and over.) If fame, fortune and hard science are your goals, gimme (KB1JY) a shout at kwick@mitre.org (Any pubs will mention you prominently.)

Keep in mind the delay from PTT to RF is not the only factor in determining the necessary TXDelay value. Look at the audio output of a monitor receiver to see the actual audio; some radios will start producing RF pretty quickly, but time constants in the modulation chain can introduce significant delay. I once heard a station on the air that took probably 500mS for the audio to "fade in"; he could connect to local stations easily (because the signal/noise ratio was good) but distant stations required a much longer TXD. I'd say look at both RF and received audio. -- * Dana H.

What settings >in the users machines are appropriate, etc..... Our organization has had a 9600 baud digital repeater operating in the Denver area for the last 14 months. This repeater supports the Northeast Colorado TCP/IP Backbone. 4 Megabytes a day are being transfered thru the repeater. The repeater is built from a 25-watt UHF Motorola Micor modified for duplex and 9600 baud data, a TAPR 9600 baud modem, an MFJ-1270B TNC just used as an IDer, and the usual repeater stuff (duplexer, second harmonic filter, control receiver, DTMF controller, feedline, antenna). BTW, I have full modification instructions available for the UHF Micor. We operate the user stations with a TxD of 150 milliseconds. Retries are very low because all the user stations can hear each other -- NO hidden transmitters! Some info is available at http://www.rmsd.com/hamradio/dwg.html.

The speed restriction appears to be due to the performance of the data slicer, not the quadrature detector or fundamental bandwidth of the part. The way I implemented it, I did not require rail-rail slew from the slicer and it could toggle at 5 MHz OK if only a couple of volts pk-pk was required. The speed limitation on the link, as originally shown, was due to limited bandwidth on the transmit side. Bias-push tuning is really not the way to get high information bandwidth. I did it as a demonstration of the utility of microwave and directional antennas for highspeed digital networks rather than as a recommended implementation. The receive side did recover data fine when driven with a microwave signal generator FSKed with 10 Mbps data. My web page has some comments about higher speeds, different modulation techniques and more desirable architectures for such hardware.

Nope, sounds too much like DOS. What you need is a VxD. A virtual device driver. I picture two types. The first is an Inter-Process Communications driver (IPC) (or a PIPE). You could then run JNOS in the background, and PIPE to the Win95 TCP/IP. The second type would be an AX.25 device driver. In this case, the VxD would interface the serial port (or PI card) to the network layer. It won't happen soon. Here's a good path to go (already mentioned a week ago). Use the serial port in SLIP mode and run it to a junker 286 or 386. Then run JNOS on that. You could also run PPP if you can figure out all the PPP switches in JNOS. You could even run Ethernet with a "packet driver" on the junker. Film at 11...

Does packet radio use a graphical interface with the internet? You could. Any of the popular web browsers can be employed. But see below. >2. What are the speeds of the modems? The typical amateur is running 1200 baud *half duplex*, and if he needs relay nodes, the effective baud is cut in half for each relay. It can be desperately slow. However, it doesn't have to be that way. 9600 baud equipment is available (though radio modifications are usually required to make it work), and 19.2 kb equipment is available (though it generally requires a special radio), and 56 kb *RF* modems are available (where the modem is the radio as well). >3. Is packet able to keep up with the 28.8 modems or faster? The 56kb equipment can, with average file transfer throughput numbers in the 3k-4k characters per second range. The typical half duplex 1200 baud equipment used by most amateurs, however, has an effective throughput of 10 char/sec *or less* (usually less). >4. What would be the advantage(s) if any to accessing the internet with >packet radio as opposed to PC's through phone lines? You can do it where there are no phone lines, for example while mobile. With the low speed equipment used by most amateurs, hooking to the internet for anything but non-realtime Email transfer is absurd, and even that is painfully slow. With the faster equipment, it becomes practical, especially at 56kb, even web browsers can be used effectively. And while 49 times faster, a 56kb station costs about the same as a 1200 baud station (if you include the cost of the voice radio).

What settings >in the users machines are appropriate, etc..... Typically, there is no TNC in the repeater data path. It's setup just like an ordinary voice repeater. Some folks have a bit regenerator between receiver and transmitter, but there's little advantage to that in practice. The additional delay the regenerator adds costs about as much network throughput as the few fringe signals it may clean up gains. If a node is co-located with a digital repeater, it may be bridged off the audio path (and its PTT diode ORed with repeater COR) rather than being supplied with its own radio. Again, there is little advantage to that over having the node located elsewhere in the repeater's coverage. While the *repeater* is duplex, none of the other stations in the net are, so the node behaves as if it were just another user station. The only necessary change in parameters for users is to lengthen TxD slightly to allow for repeater keyup delay. The repeater is just a bent pipe that removes hidden terminals from the network, and makes every connection in the coverage the functional equivalent of a *direct* connection, so there's no halving of effective throughput by a digipeater. That offers a wonderful increase in total network throughput, but there's nothing complex or magic going on in the repeater.

Some were >: written by people who just looked at the schematic, found the discriminator >: output and varactor diode, and said "this will work" without ever trying it . The Icom IC-228 is a very poor performer. Even after modifying the RX power (to not shut off during TX), it stunk. The basic problem is the range of linearity of the modulator. A redesign is necessary to take the linear modulation and translate that into a very small amplitude range. Most other modern rigs are the same. 9600 sucks on most everything with these type of modulators. The best radio on the market - price/performance - is the TEKK KS-900. Its only shortcoming is the 1.5 to 2.0 Watt output. But a brick fills in the power real well. Paccomm sells these with the correct wide filter.

I'm the proud owner of a new Kantronics KPC9612 dual speed (1200/9600 baud) TNC. I have been playing, successfully, with both vanilla AX25 and TCP/IP protocols for some years with JNOS, TPK, Paket 6, FBB ver.1.15c and others some in, and some out of KISS mode where and when appropriate to the software. I have no problems with packet radio and the hardware here has not changed at all except for the acquisition of the above TNC. My problem is this: I have been using JNOS110L (and M) with both this TNC and another both of which went into KISS mode, no problems. For some reason, the KPC9612 does not activate the PTT line in JNOS yet it IS in KISS Mode as required. I have given it the proper instructions to get it into KISS mode:- INT KISS RESET and it seems to go happily off and do that. JNOS does not appear to know the TNC is there, it doesn't, as I said above, key the PTT lines nor copy anything from the radio yet I know that the wiring IS correct. In any case, I believe that the Xmit LED should come on when the PTT line is being keyed with or without the radio connected but nuthin' happens on that TNC. What makes it even more of a mystery, is that without changing anything else, I can use another TNC in KISS mode, configured on the same port, to work perfectly in JNOS and in KISS mode. Even more interesting is the fact that the KPC works just fine on normal AX25 software out of KISS mode on the same Comm port. Am I missing something rather obvious or am I missing something rather more esoteric to KAM owners.............??? I've read the TNC book/manual, now I'm waiting for the movie......... Thanks, Kam Owners, LOVE to hear from you........ 73's de Bob. ***************************************************************** * ROBERT W. WALKER, J.P.

Not necessarily. Receiver *recovery* time is often significant. This is the time between the cessation of transmission and the return of receiver response to normal. In some transceivers, this is the *dominant* delay. And RF carrier sense *can* be faster than DCD state machine lockup. It often isn't, but it can be. The main advantage of DCD state machines is a reduction in falsing, not improved speed.

If you don't have a deviation meter just get a second radio and listen to your signal compared to another to a known strong station in your area. The good news is when you have the packet hooked up via the port you can use the 5100 on voice also.

[SNIP] I'm not familiar with the magazine Ham Radio, but there is a web site that might be it at http://www.hamradio.com I've been looking into the 2Mbit data link article in the ARRL Handbook and think that the easiest way to get the bits into the computer would be ethernet. If the data rate was raised to 10Mbits, it could be connected to a LAN by attaching an ethernet transceiver chip (not controller) that works on just an electrical level (no packet decoding). The resultant full-duplex bit-stream would then have to be sent to a full-duplex to half-duplex ethernet converter. The problem with raising the data rate is the wideband FSK chip, a MC13055, cannot reliably handle a 10Mbit datarate, maybe an MC13155 could be used instead. The MC13055 has an IF of 45MHz, the MC13155 has an IF of 250Mhz. On the receiver board a mixer takes the difference of the 105MHz first IF and the 150MHz VCO. If the filter after ther mixer were changed, could it be made to the sum, therefore generating a 250MHz signal? I don't know what else may need to be changed to make this work, but databooks are in the mail.

It is true that the use of DCD (in comparision to RF level or audio level detection) does decrease falsing, but, as I recall, probably the largest advantage of DCD in 1200 baud AFSK is the elimination of delay in the receiver squelch circuitry. Granted, receiver recovery time is also often significant; I had to modify my Drake TR-22 to not mute the receiver during transmit since there was an enormous RC time constant in that circuit. However, receiver recovery time shouldn't be part of the TX Delay equation; receivers with poor recovery times simply should either be modified to have a short delay or not used ;-). -- * Dana H.

Receiver *recovery* time is often significant. This >is the time between the cessation of transmission and the return of >receiver response to normal. In some transceivers, this is the *dominant* >delay. True. I have added some extra txdelay to be used only in those cases where the transmitter is keyed up immediately after carrier on the channel drops, e.g. when replying to a transmission on a point-to-point link. Thus, the txdelay is longer in this case than it is when transmitting on channel that was clear for some time. This was required to run with a very short txdelay using commercial trxes with slow T/R switching times. (well, actually you would need the extra txdelay only when the first packet in a transmission is destined to the station that last transmitted on the channel... maybe something to keep put the list) >And RF carrier sense *can* be faster than DCD state machine lockup. >It often isn't, but it can be. The main advantage of DCD state machines >is a reduction in falsing, not improved speed. An important disadvantage is that a marginal signal or a collision is not recognized as a valid signal, generates no DCD, and is thus transmitted over. When two stations collide, all the others jump on top of that :-( Also, when multiple speeds are used at a single station (as a method of gradually increasing speed while maintaining backward compatability for some time), state machine DCD causes unnecessary collisions.

I have decided to sell my KPC-2 Packet radio TNC and Regency BTH-201B 25 Watt VHF Tranceiver crystalled to 145.01 MHZ. I am asking $70 for the KPC-2 ALONE. The KPC-2 With the REGENCY BTH-201B radio I am asking $135 I will also be asking $5 for Shipping. The Regency base station is all ready to go and is Currently wired and working well with the KPC-2. The base station has it's own built in Power supply. Size is approx. ( 15" x 9" x 3.5" ) Regency BTH-201B 25 Watt VHF Tranceiver crystalled to 145.01 MHZ. Receiver sensitivity and selectivity has been recently checked on a 2400 Motorola Service Monitor and checked up to factory specs. Output power bench checked at 30 watts. I am not interested in selling the radio seperate from the TNC, but would be interested in selling the TNC alone. If I don't sell them I'll continue to use them, and If I don't sell the radio with it, I'll crystal it for voice and use it there. The KPC-2 has version 2.85 firmware and has PBBS, NODE, and DIGI functions. It's run well for the last 4 years without ever having a problem. It originally cost $170. I orginally purchased the Regency about 2 years ago from a friend for $60 and recrystaled and tuned it for another $30 from Jan Crystals. It works well and also has never given me any problems. I don't normally have time to monitor the news groups so any response to this should be via e-mail or phone listed below.

As my answer to the interface problem I designed a little circuit to replace the 20 pin hydrid on the ARCNET boards found in this part of the world.

How do >you do that? Go to the Arizona Repeater Association's Home Page to see how this is done. It involves actively pursuing people who engage in such activity. The ARA, as a matter of routine, has an interference committee dedicated to tracking these people down. Despite reports to the contrary, the FCC does frown on this activity, and will enforce sanctions. Just ask the people here in Phoenix about that. An NAL, Notice of Apparant Liability, carries a stiff monetary fine, about $20,000 (US) worth and forfeiture of ALL broadcasting equipment and license(s). It has been reported to me, by Dan Ford, Commander of the SHERRIF'S Ham Radio Posse, that they also plan to actively engage in pursuing people misusing radio gear in Maricopa County. I strongly suggest that if you plan on jamming a repeater in Central Arizona, plan on getting caught. Unfortunately, the ARA has had, for the 3rd time its existence, had to remove a member, by board action, for misconduct involving repeaters. This "gentleman" is also facing stiff legal sanctions from the FCC. In 1995, the 3 biggest abusers of ARA repeaters WERE caught, and several others have been identified. 73, Mark Fellhauer KC7BXS From lwbyppp@epix.net Mon Feb 05 21:26:21 1996 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.scott.net!acara.snsnet.net!HiWAAY.net!imci2!news.internetMCI.com!newsfeed.internetmci.com!idir.net!port36.idtslw1.idir.net!user From: medcalf@idir.net (gloria medcalf) Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc,rec.radio.amateur.misc Subject: Path Quality of Packet Nodes (new web-site article) Date: Tue, 30 Jan 1996 10:01:58 -0600 Organization: ka5ztx Lines: 18 Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: port36.idtslw1.idir.net Xref: news.epix.net rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc:13859 rec.radio.amateur.misc:97514 How good is an rf path?

The other PC (for normal work ;-) has a ethernetcard too and the net.drivers (netware and MsNet) are working well. But I can not do a really remote.

I found some stuff for working by serial line but nothing for ethercards. (?) 2. the ham-pc should run WNOS. But I have some trouble to startup an tnc running the wa8ded firmware. Knows someone where I can find the FAQs. 3. (sorry not a ham related one) I have to put a fone-line-modem to a workstation running by AIX 3.2. I know some some stuff for Solaris-unix but nothing for the IBM-unix. If someone has a hint I would be plaesed.

This is not a new concept to the DoD, but as far as packet radio goes with the cheap TNCs, I think this is one possible way to send data significant distances w/o the slow speed of HF. There are other tradeoffs as well. The idea is to replace the firmware to make a low cost meteor scatter station. With regards to antennas, power and radios this may not be so simple. I was thinking that the controller might "peck" the path waiting for an opening, and then would send as much as possible in the second or two the path works. Or alternativly, it would repeatedly send data with pauses waiting for the ack. Some things I have heard about comercial systems, an opening can be expected on average once every 15 minutes. High speed to cram as much data into the opening as possible would also be worth examining.

I mean, if you looked at the supply pin : on the gunplexer would you see a good 5 MHz square wave? The problem with the motion detector/radar gun Gunn sources is in trying to get low distortion frequency modulation at large deviations/rates using bias-push tuning. This is *not* the way to generate a high quality FM signal. The dynamic resistance of these devices is actually quite high (they are negative resistance devices after all) and even the lowly 3-term regulators manage to deliver an acceptable waveform to the oscillators. However, if you plot the voltage-> frequency and voltage->amplitude responses for typical oscillators (as I did in the referenced Ham Radio Magazine series) you will see that the result is not FM at information bandwidths. For better performance, it is highly desirable to use electronic tuning of the resonator rather than rely on what is basically a second order effect in order to modulate them.

Is it worth it? If you want to do satellite work, Don, you have to have a satellite modem. The satellites use either 1200 baud PSK or 9600 baud FSK depending on the satellite. So that means you want a TNC that will accept external modems on a TAPR disconnect header. Your choices would be PacComm or MFJ since they make 100% compatiable TAPR TNC2 clones. Adapting a satellite modem to an AEA or Kantronics TNC would be much harder. (Though, you could use AEA's DSP TNC. That will emulate a satellite modem. Or Kantronics has the Data Engine which has TAPR style modem headers, but both of those choices are pretty expensive. TAPR also has a kit that lets you modify the AEA PK-232 to accept an external modem. The simplest and lowest cost method is to use a real TNC2 clone.) The problem is with the PSK modem, all the manufacturers make 9600 baud modems you can use, but the regular terrestrial 1200 baud modem won't do for satellites (except for MIR). Satellites use PSK modems (for improved weak signal performance) rather than AFSK. So you want a MFJ1270B or a PacComm Tiny 2. Then you can add a 1200 baud PSK modem (available as a kit from TAPR) and a G3RUH style 9600 baud FSK modem (available from several sources), either of which can plug into the TAPR disconnect header on the TNCs. With the default 1200 baud AFSK modem built into the TNC, that covers all the bases except telemetry reception from Oscar 13. That requires a 400 baud PSK modem, kits for that are available from Radio Kit. The basic TNC and all the modems will total around $350, which is still quite a bit cheaper than a DSP TNC from AEA (last I looked the DSP-2232 was $995), though their new DSP unit is quite a bit cheaper than their old one. I'm not sure that they have debugged satellite modem firmware for it yet, however. They do for their more expense older DSP unit. If you had a PC, you could also use TAPR's DSP board. And if you're a good coder, you can use any of the cheap DSP evaluation boards, the Analog Devices EZKit is attractive at $89. You could program all four different modems you need on it and run SoftTNC on the MAC instead of going with a hardware TNC. (The MAC already has the 8530 synchronous SIO chip built in, so it can do the TNC function inboard without incurring the penalty something like Baycom poses for the PC where the synchronous conversion has to be done by bit banging in software.)

Well, you could as easily say that receivers with slow squelches should either be modified or not used. The 56kb modem (original kit) uses carrier squelch, and it isn't slow. In fact, carrier sense is faster than a state machine DCD would be since that necessarily requires several bit intervals before it can act.

And what's usually happening on the channel is congestive collapse. It's a *very bad* idea to run mixed speeds on the same channel. Some idiot will be running a 1200 baud only TNC, and it won't sense the other speeds, and there goes the channel.

If you're willing to forego satellite, then a Kantronics KAM is the answer to your requirements. It can do VHF and HF simultaneously. But if you want satellite capability, that's not the way to go. The better approach is two separate dedicated systems. I expounded on this in another post for satellite. For HF, the KAM is still an option, though it doesn't do Clover, or many of the utility signals outside the amateur bands. There are better SWL boxes for that. But the KAM is still a good start. It can do RTTY, AMTOR, PACTOR, GTOR, and packet (and makes a half-hearted attempt at CW). AEA's PK-232 can copy a few of the utility signals the KAM can't handle, but it can only do VHF or UHF one at a time, IE you have to manually switch back and forth. It *can* be fitted with satellite modems via a kit from TAPR, however, while the KAM can't. The ideal system is DSP, able to be configured on the fly for all the various signals. AEA made an attempt at that with their DSP boxes, HAL's DSP card does too, but neither do *everything*. You can program your own DSP modem on one of the cheap DSP evaluation boards, however, or on TAPR's DSP-93 plug in card for the PC. I think that's the best approach, if you're willing to learn DSP programming.

Programs written with multitasking in mind often run as well, if not better, than so-called "native" applications, in part because they are typically in native machine code (vis a vis such things as Visual Basic apps which are a form of p-code, interpreted, and hence slow). The benefits of the environment, dynamic linking, object embedding, etc., are great, but for some things like operating a TNC, in single or dual port mode, and in modes like AMTOR, PACTOR, GTOR, etc., the linking and embedding are less important. PkGOLD and KaGOLD have features that are suited to communications, and are also multitasking "aware" -- that is, they give back time to the OS. If you haven't seen current versions of PkGOLD or KaGOLD running in either OS/2 or Windows 95, you might be surprised to discover that they operate well in a DOS box/window, multitask smoothly, and do lots of important communications things.

A PSA sound card (Orchid, Echo, Cardinal) which uses the Analog Devices ADSP-2115 DSP will do what you want. In theory, you could use the SB, as it has an SGS-Thomson DSP core in one of the chips, but no one knows how to program it.
