I am using just 10m wire on top of the camper, and can work SM0RWO-1
from Spain with just 10 Watts...
Maybe the external DSP filter is not linear? Try 600 Hz bandwidth to
check.
Is your RX frequency o.k. (1000 Hz for the centre of the signal)?
For the audio levels of Fldigi, have a look at the waterfall in my
youtube demo...

Don't worry, we will get you going... as a last resort I can help.
Ghent is not so far from here :-)

- it also seems weather related: I only got it to work in daylight and
dry weather.

A possible antenna system problem? Maybe water ingress into feeders
or connections? My father’s G5RV went a bit deaf a few years back.
You’d poke a bit of power at it and it’d suddenly be able to hear
again. The culprit was the connection between the coax and the
twinfeed. Perhaps the RF was helping to dry out the moisture?!

Hello Jan,
here are some comments:
1: The issue you have with 2.0.30 is clearly a PTT problem.
Try using VOX, it is the simplest way...
I have been using 2.0.30 through the wintr from a remot location
in Spain...
2: Try using i limited mode list, like PSK500R, PSK250R and MFSK16.
Or try single mode with THOR22.
These modes have FEC, and reduce receive errors.
Also, as Per suggests, ALWAYS try to use a 500Hz IF filter.
A DSP only works well if it is also in the IF, like in the IC7200.
I use a 500 Hz filter ombined with DSP in the K3.
3: You can check if you are being heard by the server using the
"Inquire" command.
It pings a specific server, and gives you a reading on the quality
of the signal.
I have heard you well, but I have almost no noise at my QTH.
PI4TUE is located in a university building with a very high local
noise level.
4: Try to get reception going first, before trying to do email
stuff....
Hope this helps,
Rein PA0R
P.S. Per, last beacon of SM0RWO-1 on 040514...
fldigi again?
Hello list,
Recently I was able to send and receive some mail, but on the whole,
it's a very frustrating experience.
Today I again tried for more than 2 hours to receive one (1) small
mail,
but it didn't work.
My setup:
- gap titan dx multi-band vertical
- mfj antenna tuner
- kenwood ts140 tranceiver
- dsp filter
- computer running linux mint
I have both pskmail 1.5.29/fldigi and jpskmail 2.0.30 running. I swap
the ~/.pskmail/configuration.xml file whenever I switch clients
the 2.0.30 is simple: it doesn't work. my transmitter goes into
transmit
whenever I open the settings window. In that case, the transmitter
continues to transmit regardless of what I do in pskmail: quit,
disconnect, ... Even quiting pskmail completely doesn't stop the
transmit. I have to switch off the tranceiver. On the other hand, my
transmitter does not transmit anything when pressing the tune button,
sending a ping or a beacon or trying to connect. Using the (working)
1.5.29 config doesn't change a thing.
fldigi / pskmail 1.5.29 does work. But I hardly hear anything. It
seems
to me that my signal gets thru to the world, but can somebody confirm
this ? I have been busy today may 7th between 14:00 and 17:00 CET.
the only server I can contact reasonably is OE5RTL (sorry for
monopolizing the server). Sometimes I hear 9A1CRA, but i've never been
able to do anything on it, timeout happens long before I receive
anything.
On OE5RTL it seems to me that most of the time gets lost trying to
find
a transmit mode. But I do not really know, it's so slow that I do not
really know what is happening. Even when reconnecting, the system
tries
to catch up for hours without any result.
