Amateur Radio Technology Progress: Slower Than Cars? fromShane Conder's Whateveritis of Nothing. Google sent out their monthly Sightseer newsletter. In it, they listed the Sputnik anniversary for October 4th. They said it was the 50th, which is wrong. However, it got me thinking about what’s happened in the years since I listened to the 40th anniversary Sputnik launch. Of course, this isn’t an even 10 years, it’s actually 11. Hey, it’s OK to be off-by-one occasionally, right? Anyway, between this and looking at ads in recent QST magazines from then and now, I began to really realize that the same technology in different industries progresses at very different rates. On the one hand, that means they were a good purchase that has passed the test of time. Why is it that the fastest packet modem you can easily buy is still sitting at 9600 baud? Why don’t we so local ham radio networks that can move data in the multimegabit range?
To be fair, some amateurs experiment with high speed data, usually using modifications on commercial technology or relatively expensive microwave stations. Snohomish County RACES.

RF Interference. © 1998-99 Jim Corenman, revised 10/14/99 Solving RF Interference Problems Radio transmitters have a great fondness for causing interference. This is not surprising, since their primary job is to pump 100 watts or more of radio energy into the sky. Ideally all of this energy would be sent off towards the distant receiver, but this is not the case. Antennas, particularly small ones, radiate in all directions, and worse yet, any imbalance in the antenna system causes the coax cable, power wires, and every other interconnection to becme part of the antenna system and radiate also. In the days before digital communications this was a nuisance at worse, but when modems and computers get interconnected with transmitters and radios the potential for chaos is great. With respect to HF email, there are two primary symptoms that can be traced to wayward RF energy: distortion of the transmitted audio signal, and data errors between the computer and modem.
Ground systems: The solution: Task 1. Task 2. Pactor Primer. A Pactor Primer Getting Started with Ham Radio Email ©1997, 98 Jim Corenman KE6RK Revised 16 Jan '98 15z This document is intended as a guide for the mobile ham who is new to the world of message forwarding via the ham radio HF Pactor network. It is written by the author of the AirMail personal mailbox program, primarily for cruising sailors and RV travelers that want to stay in touch via amateur radio and email. The biggest problem with getting started with Pactor is documentation. A further note on this document: Parts of it are full of fluff and can be skimmed quickly, but when we get to the step-by-step instructions on how to get your station on the air, then you need to slow down and read each word carefully.

Overview of the Network Sending digital communications over radio is nothing new, but recent advances in technology and software have made it easier than ever before for mobile hams to stay in touch via ham radio.

SoundCard Modems Your SoundCard, the one you are using now, has a build in DSP chip.
Using this chip we can receive and transmit packets in ,almost, any baudrate. For the moment AGW Packet Engine supports 300b, 1200b and 9600b. Tuning Win7 Drivers for maximum sensitivity 1.

Tenny Chui January 7th, 2008, 12:43 am I am fairly new in being a ham and in finding out what my radios can do. I use my radios mostly for hunting, other recreational communication and emergency purposes. As with all hunter, I like to be in no man land to be as far away from other trigger happy idiots.
I am not in any radio club at the moment. But can I link up to any repeater in BC and use their autopatch system (if there is one) to make a phone call. What are the steps involved to make such call if I can hit a repeater. Anyone actually used or knows much about the D-star with Icom and GPS as a locator with ham radio beside their website? In the case of an emergency, what frequencies are the most effective to get help from authorities? Any info would be much appreciated. Puget Sound Repeaters. Flickr.
