[GreenKeys] Arvada ITTY update

[Paul Heller]

Hi Friends,

The good news: ITTY Arvada is running 24/7 for many weeks now. The bad news: I don’t know if we are there yet. I always welcome your reports.

I have tweaked the current hardware that I have as much as I can. There is another USB sound card coming next week that might allow me to amplify the signal a bit more than I can do with my current sound card. As it stands now, I am pushing as much signal as I can with the hardware I currently have.

That  said, I’ve done some resetting of various things on my end. I copied from a hotel room in Baltimore last week, using MMTTY on my laptop and the hotel wifi, and was able to copy flawlessly for several hours. Does MMTTY copy better than real hardware?

Signal reports and copy reports are always appreciated. I’m not going to rest until everyone is able to copy my signal as well as they can George’s (even if the signal strength is a bit lower).  ITTY Arvada is always up, but I will be taking it down next week when I swap out the sound card to test the new one. I will let you know when that happens.

Thanks in advance for your patience and support. I’d really like to tell George he can stop worrying about ITTY and pursue other projects of interest. He’s counting on me for that!
