- Some news from VK6
- ------------------
-
- It was sad to note, the resignation of RON,VK6RF from the
- group. Ron has been a long time member of W.A.A.D.C.A , a
- supporter of R.T.T.Y. and the sunday morning broadcasts. It is
- hoped you continue to listen , and report in on occasions
- please RON.
-
- A new PACKET RADIO user port is to be installed at WIRELESS
- HILL PARK. The operating frequency will be 144.825. This will
- supplement the users on this channel , as well as provide
- better traffic loading between channels.
-

- OK, now while you're busy making these nifty tests, how about taking a
- 50 foot piece of RG-213 and putting a pair of UHF and then N connectors
- on it. Test it again, and tell me just how much difference it really
- makes. Run the tests at 146 and 450 MHz.

- Subject: FT-530 Firmware Problems (epilogue)
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- This is a post of an item I deposited on Compu$erve's HAMNET forum:
-
- Well I just received my re-repaired FT-530 back today. As I had promised
- earlier, here is the finally summary of what was done and the cost if it
- is out of warranty. Please note that my radio is Lot #16. All FT-530's
- that I have played with suffer from the DTMF code squelch problem:
-
- 1) Page Acknowledgment will not turn on:
-
- Item G2070088 (Diode 1SS302 TE85R) was installed. Price 23 cents.
- Labor $50. Shipping $6.58.
-
- Note: I believe the Page Acknowledgment may be a problem only if the
- radio has had the receive range extended by removing the jumper on pad 13.
- After talking to several other hams, it would seem to be that only
- those radios that were modified suffer from this (not conclusive). The
- fact that a diode needs to be added would seem to confirm this.
-
- 2) DTMF code squelch only decodes first 2 digits:
-
- "REPLACED DEFECTIVE CPU IC, ADJUSTED AND TESTED UNIT'S OPERATIONS TO
- FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS." That's what the work order says!
- Labor $150. Shipping $5.99.
-
- I have tested the radio so far and it seems to work fine. In fact, 2-meter
- sensitivity seems better than it was before!

- Subject: HAMBLASTER INCORRECT STATEMENTS
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Howdy:
-
- In a recent spate of messages, we have been told of the capabilities
- of the hamblaster. It sounds rudimentary so far but I am sure that
- over time the capabilities (new software development) will proceed
- and its capabilities will be enhanced and it will make a very
- interesting tool for amateur radio communications, experimentation,
- and learning DSP. There will be alternatives as you will now be told.
-
- In other messages, John Alberts has told us of the lack of capabilities
- of the Sound Blaster 16 with ASP. He is WRONG. I received my Sound
- Blaster developers kit via UPS yesterday at last. It is easy to see
- how John could have made the mistake he made. The manuals received
- in the kit describe two distinct pieces of processing hardware.
- One is called the DSP and the other is the ASP. The DSP has all
- the limitations mentioned by John in his statements concerning
- the capabilities of the Sound Blaster card (or lack thereof). It is
- a proprietary gate array surrounding masks from other chip developers
- to do stuff like DMA blocks of samples in and out, to convert PCM
- to u-LAW, 2 or 4 bit ADPCM, CVSD, etc. It directs the flow of
- MIDI commands, etc. It is a pretty neat thing in and of itself
- but it is NOT what we want. We want a full blown DSP chip, with
- a modified Harvard architecture and at least 16 by 16 bit -> 32 multiply,
- accumulate, read new coefficient and data in one instruction time.
- THE ASP is a real DSP chip and has all this. It is 512 words of off
- chip program memory, 512 words of off chip data ram, 192 words of X RAM
- on chip,128 words of Y ram on chip. X ram is program and sample
- data, Y RAM would be used for filter coefficients. THIS IS A FULL
- BLOWN DSP CHIP. It does NOT have the limitations John has told us
- the hamblaster overcomes. Indeed, on the A/D, D/A front, it is quite
- clear that the under $300 SB16-ASP is quite a bit MORE CAPABLE than
- hamblaster. It has two channels (16 bits each), D/A, and A/D. The
- sample rate is completely controllable by uploading a divisor to
- the control register. The lowest available rate is 5 Khz and the
- highest is 44.1 Khz. The processor runs at 12 MIPS so filters would
- execute at around 25 MIPS. This is because it has the typical
- DSP feature of multiply two numbers, read the next two, and accumulate
- the last result while shifting the pointers in two instruction times.
- That is plenty fast. I will be able to do dual channel modems for this
- card. Since the thing does not also have a UART, or SIO, we will have
- to the HDLC and UART functions on the chip when required. Other DSP
- developers have done this all on chip (Finland DSP development group
- on the Motorola DSP56001). We will be able to do a lot.
-
- John should be more careful when he makes flat statements about
- commercially available products. If he were a `real competitor'
- of Creative Labs, he could get into a bit of a hassle. I am following the
- philosophy of my dear friend, Phil Karn, in attributing to ignorance
- when possible, that which could be attributed to malice (in this
- case, competition). I told John in a reply to his mail that I
- doubted the accuracy of his statements on the Sound Blaster16 with ASP.
- I was correct. The Sound Blaster 16 with ASP is available from many
- places for under $300. The developers kit is $99, available only
- from Creative Labs. In addition to this, you must have a dsp assembler.
- The developer's kit provides COMPLETE tools for uploading and
- downloading programs to the ASP chip.
-
- I will be writing programs for the ASP and giving them away on your
- favorite ftp sites and through the ARRL download request service.
- These programs will be the basis of articles for QEX describing the
- algorithms and the operation of the sound blaster card in amateur
- radio applications. Phil Karn has devised a new link layer for
- packet, with FEC, etc. and I will be providing modems that use the
- ASP. I believe I can provide what the latest hamblaster announcements
- state and more in short order after I get the assembler for the
- ASP. I will do this as quickly as possible. I am a bit miffed that I
- stopped developing the Windows and DOS front ends and display stuff for
- the SB16 ASP after John's note because I thought the SB16 was too
- limited. Now it is full steam ahead.

- have a nude QSL card, you should by reasonable standards of politeness,
- inform the person on the other end during your QSO. If he objects, send
- him a non-nude QSL. If you're doing serious DX and you don't have time
