Descripción del funcionamiento del modo digital (tipo de modulación, codificación, alfabeto utilizado, corrección de errores, técnica de compresión, etc): Modos creados por K1JT, Joe Taylor (Premio Nobel de Física 1993) como una familia, dedicados a las señales débiles ya sea en HF, como en comunicados por dispersión meteórica y rebote lunar en VHF. Internacionalmente se les reconoce como una familia, por eso se presentan aquí con su propia categoría independientemente de que usen diferentes variaciones de MFSK para modular sus señales. WSPR (MEPT_JT): Weak Signal Propagation Reporter; modo dedicado a prospección de las bandas de HF en cuanto a propagación, es una especie modo orientado a radiofaros de baja potencia digitales. También conocido por “whisper” (susurro) Es un MFSK de 4 tonos continuos con un esquema de codificación con FEC que lleva el indicativo de la estación, el Grid Locator y la potencia de la transmisión en dBm. El autor designa el modo como “MEPT_JT” (Manned Experimental Propagation Tests, by K1JT), pero el nombre WSPR ha prevalecido en la práctica. FSK441: Frequency Shift Keying 441, destinado a contactos por dispersión meteórica en VHF/UHF. Se basa en un MFSK con 4 tonos a 41 baudios usando un FEC propio. El nombre como se puede apreciar viene del modo los tonos y los baudios.

  • DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS by AD5XJ Ken LA Section Technical Specialist
    DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS by AD5XJ Ken LA Section Technical Specialist Disclaimer: These are my comments on digital communications and are not necessarily all there is to know on the subject. As with everything computer related – there are at least six ways to do the same thing. Given this caveat, let me say this is opinion and not the complete story. I only relate to you my experience of 5 or more years using digital modes to give you the benefit of my experience. I will leave the rest for you to research as you see fit. Digital Sound Card Software: In an effort to make sense of the vast selection of software available to ham operators, this session will be devoted to supplying information to help you in deciding what software will best suit your application. Selection of software is highly subjective in that it depends almost entirely on the operator and situation as to which software is appropriate or useful. What we attempt to do here is give the capabilities of software on a comparative basis and allow you to make those choices as needed. We will group the available applications into three basic catagories: 1) digital text, 2) digital voice, 3) digital image and video. All software applications mentioned can be used with the computer soundcard as the modem. Some also allow the use of external computer sound interfaces like the Tigertronics SignaLink modem which has a soundcard built in and does not rely on the soundcard in the computer. Offloading the soundcard duties in this manner increases the efficiency of the interface function several orders of magnitude given the modest cost of $99-$125.

  • Overview of Ham Radio Software
    OVERVIEW OF SOFTWARE FOR DIGITAL HAM RADIO Where to download free software: (often there are helpful help files also, so you might want to peruse around a bit more than just download) FLDIGI https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/fldigi/fldigi- 3.23.15_setup.exe/download https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/files/fldigi/ Downloading FLDIGI can be a bit tricky. Try going to the above page and then selecting (for Windows) the file ending with “setup.exe”. WINLINK EXPRESS http://www.winlink.org/sites/default/files/downloads/winlink_express_insta ll_1-4-2-0.zip UZ7HO http://uz7.ho.ua/modem_beta/soundmodem95.zip is the actual download.

You will have to find out how to tell your malware detection software to accept these quite- respectable programs. Every malware detection program works differently, so read your instructions! Digital Ham Radio has many facets. Characters from a computer become some version of “tones” going to a transmitter microphone input; audio from a receiver speaker output gets transformed into characters in a computer and possibly visible on the screen to a user. Software & hardware combine to make this magic happen. This paper will attempt to categorize the major software required to accomplish several communications.

  • Digital Mode Presentation
    Digital Mode Presentation General Knowledge Digital communication is the exchange of digital data over the air • Email, Digital files, Keyboard-to-keyboard (chat), and others Protocols on today’s menu • RTTY, PACTOR, JT9/65, PSK31, FSQCall, Olivia Communication = digital mode if info is exchanged as individual characters encoded as digital bits. Example: A = ASCII 01000001 Some consider CW a digital mode. (an A = di-dah) Some modes are old, like radio-teletype, invented in the 1930’s. Some modes are new, like FSQ, invented in the mid-2015’s. Where? • Look at an amateur band chart (80 meters and 20 meters) • Look at a band plan (2-4, 2-17, 6-2) • Show CW, PSK31 (3.570 & 14.070) and RTTY • Look at http://bandplans.com Definitions Air Link – the part of the communication system involving radio transmissions and reception of signals. Bit – fundamental unit of data; a 0 or 1 in binary Bit rate – number of bits per second sent from one system to another. Symbol – signal characteristics that make up each distinct state of the transmitted signal • CW symbols = on and off • RTTY symbols are tones • Baudot or ASCII (simple methods) encode one bit in each symbol • Sophisticated codes use complex audio signals to carry the data and encode more than one bit in each symbol Baud – number of symbols per second that are sent from one system to another. Duty cycle – ratio of transmitting to total on/off time • Important to know duty cycle of mode because most transmitters are not designed to operate at full power for extended periods of time.
