  • guest_194 WX4C-Don : Odis, the DR-2X is on order. Thanks for your time and efforts in getting the Information to me. 73
  • K9EQ-Chris : Think of the 991 as an HF rig that also does V/UHF and Fusion. So there are a lot of things it doesn't do that the other radios do.
  • Kd9deg-Jason : Queue me for question please.
  • W4IOD-Odis : FT991 information galore click on the link https://github.com/rfrht/FT-991A/wiki

  • 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.

  • 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.
  • KC9IL-Warren : NS9RC in Chicago is unable to connect to MNWis tonite.

  • W4IOD-Odis : Good Don we are starting to see the out bands here now.
  • AI5AI-Don : Evening Chuck!

  • 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!
