Ham Radio . Magnum Experimentum
Antennas, experiments, engineering and other articles of interest to radio folks.
Some simple tweaks to a few text files try to make OpenWebRx more compatible with wider AM and FM RF bandwidths.
ADIF mode attribute lacks ARRL Field Day exchange values making ADIF and Field Day incompatible by definition.
N1MM can put your transmissions out of band.
I have experimented with Radio Mobile for a few years. If you have not tried using it, you should. It is a free RF link analysis program that uses geographic elevation data to help you determine the obstacles between two radio stations.
The details of this program’s capabilities are too numerous to mention here so please visit the web site here…
Recently I got up to speed with MixW for some PSK31 work. It works great.
I also tried out CWSkimmer with similar results.
I noticed there was an advantage of allowing each application access to read and control the radio so the frequency information correlates.
No problem I thought. However, I began thinking about the upcoming Virginia QSO Party where I will also be using a logging program from N3FJP or N1MM.
A reader asks for help with rig control interfacing to an Icom 725.
I guess it was only a matter of time before Java made its way into the world of ham radio. Really, Java has been at the forefront of computing for some time. Whenever a programmer friend asks me if they should port their popular program to Java I say “why bother, Java is just too slow.” That was then and this is now.
Java is still slower than directly compiled programs, but computers are so fantastically fast these days, this issue is becoming not an issue.
One of the participants on the Sunday Night Tech Net mentioned he is reviewing and modifying a new, too him anyway, JAVA based contest logger.
Enter JL Logger…
