[K3PZN-List] TRYING TO SET UP RADIO TO RUN PSK31

[Curt Milton]

Ray

PSK works in SSB -- typically USB, but this only matters in terms of understanding what frequency your rig is on.  


PSK is a phase modulated, contant amplitude, audio signal injected into your rig.  very important not to overdrive your rig as you would then cause QRM on adjacent frequencies.  


I suspect you have already tried receiving PSK31 - this is merely a cable from rig receive audio to PC card input.  but transmit involves getting the level right.  perhaps someone can help you adjust your transmit signal on the air.  


Definitely you can learn and operate some at whatever rig we designate for digital modes at FD,  which in current plan Mike is providing.

>> In support of Mike our FD chair, let's brainstorm and work together on 
>> antennas.?
>> Here are my thoughts:? (yours are also appreciated)
>> 80m - ONE wire antenna, deploy so it can be used for SSB or CW.? 
>> rationale - this is the noisiest band.? we could use the Carolina windom 
>> that Pete has offered.?
>> 40m - wire antennas, ONE EACH for SSB and CW.? could be simple homemade 
>> inverted vees.? I can supply one of these.?
>> 20/15/10m - one 'tribander' could be considered for SSB.? if nothing 
>> better emerges, I have a two element beam?MA5B?(just the 20/15/10, 
>> portion) that could be used.??the?rocket launcher offered is an overkill 
>> for this, but it would be something we could easily raise?up.?
>> that leaves supporting 20/15/10m for CW.? last year we used?the 40m 
>> inverted V on 15m, and it made it to KH6.?so need to consider 20 and 
>> 10m:?
>> a two element wire beam for 20m would be rather cool - if it could be 
>> lofted in-between other masts.? for 10m we could use just about 
>> anything.????
>> Mike likely has something in mind for HF digital?? Coordinating its

>> I am thinking of something like 2 SSB rigs and 1-2 CW rigs (depending

>> mast he brought last year - I just queried him on height.?
>> Thoughts appreciated.? Next round will be assigning masts and antennas to
