- WO1VES-Brian : Ran out of text space I guess. That should say I will add this as funds allow.
- WO1VES-Brian : Thanks Chris, I enjoyed that talk. I actually built my own LifePo4 battery with 4 304ah cells and a BMS. This is installed in my campervan I am building out of an old Ford Econoline E350. It currently has one 100 watt solar panel, but I just installed a mounting solution on the roof that will hold six of them for 600 watts of solar. I'll need to upgrade my charge controller. So I will add this as

- KC9IL-Warren : OK Chris, I will give that a try. Thanks.
- K9EQ-Chris : My guess is something is messed up in the router's or computer's routing table. May have to reboot the router, then the computer.
- K9EQ-Chris : Sometimes this can happen when ISPs have a routing problem between them. It means a switch somewhere is not correctly routing packets between us. I don't see any attempts from you to connect now.
- KC9IL-Warren : Chris, every Room in my favorites is connecting. Just MNWis gets "Call Start 21493", then "Error, no answer from called PC"
- W4IOD-Odis : Copy that Warren
- K9EQ-Chris : Not seeing anything wrong here.

- W4IOD-Odis : Everyone have a good evening and stay safe 73 de W4IOD SK
- AI5AI-Don : Good Night everyone
- K9EQ-Chris : When you're cramming bits like that the signal MUST be very linear. Hence the KPA500 is not very linear. Very poor performance, my 3-500Z amp has no problems.
- rick_n4wcq : it works well with my K3 at 30-60w but if I try with an amp it faills apart. I guess my kpa500 is not very linear
- K9EQ-Chris : That's shocking. You'd think Linux would be the primary OS for something like that.
- AI5AI-Don : Thank you Rick
- W4IOD-Odis : GE Rick
- rick_n4wcq : setting up the sound card on linux for freedv is finicky
- K9EQ-Chris : ...which is sent to the Mic input of an SSB radio. The signal is received by an SSB radio, then demodulated and decoded by FreeDV. FreeDV was built by an international team of Radio Amateurs working together on coding, design, user interface and testing. FreeDV is open source software
- W4IOD-Odis : Don: There are reports of the new FreeDV 700D mode outperforming SSB at low SNR’s. Higher SNR’s FreeDV 1600 sounds like FM, with no analog HF radio noise. You can buy a SM1000 FreeDV adaptor that allows you to run FreeDV (1600 mode) on any HF radio without a PC or sound card. Speech is compressed down to 700-1600 bit/s then modulated onto a 1.25 kHz wide signal comprised of 16 QPSK carriers
- AI5AI-Don : Yepper!!!
- K9EQ-Chris : With the increasing interest in Artificial Intelligence, AI5AI is a GREAT callsign!

- KC9IL-Warren : 60 meters is a nice band. We want to keep the 100 watt limit.
- KC9IL-Warren : Odis, thanks!
- W4IOD-Odis : Warren, if you have time this may be of interest to you or not. https://youtu.be/9fR0C_wak-s?si=vVNAvLAv7p5u2BhF
- KC9IL-Warren : I'll just have to play with it some more. Maybe it will grow on me. Thanks Colt!
- N1RIP-Colt : Pi-zero 2 w* correction
- N1RIP-Colt : Could have been grade/speed/quality of SD card. Card could be degrading as well @ KC9IL-Warren. My W0CHP install runs extremely fast on Pi 4 (4gb)
- KC9IL-Warren : Chris, you make a good point. Here we are complaining about free software. Hi Hi
- K9EQ-Chris : Well, Pistar doesn't have much documentation either. These are hobby projects so you can't expect too much. A lot can be learned by looking at the code.
- KC9IL-Warren : Pi-Star just flies on my Pi-4. Very snappy. I did not even try on the Pi-0.
- W4IOD-Odis : Warren with all things new there seems to be some growing pains. https://wpsd-docs.w0chp.net/
- W4IOD-Odis : Warren I experienced that on the pi zero but not on the pi 3B+
- KC9IL-Warren : The online documentation is lacking, in that it assumes you know a bunch of stuff already. Not nearly as comprehensive as the "Playing with Pi-Star" document.
- KC9IL-Warren : Odis, the W0CHP version took about 50% longer to do most tasks. Seems a bit clunky.
- KF5NXR - John : Interesting I didn't realize that it could be purchased separately as an accessory. I will need find out how to order that. Thanks for the info!
- K9EQ-Chris : There are probably a bunch of DR2-X owners who are not using their LAN cards.
- KK4FWU-Phil : disconnected myself
- K9EQ-Chris : Although you might want to buy a used one. When purchased with a repeater, they're $200. If purchased as an accessory, I believe it's $350.
- K9EQ-Chris : You can order the LAN card from Yaesu and you'd install it.
- KF5NXR - John : I dont have a radio this evening to transmit into the net so I figured I would asked you through this chat.
- KF5NXR - John : Odis, any idea if Yeasu would update a DR-2X that needs a Lan Card or where one could get a Lan Card to update one?
- W4IOD-Odis : Most welcome
- KF5NXR - John : Thank Odis!
