Hi Everyone,
At the risk of upsetting some people, I will offer my comments...........
For a long time I have watched the trials and tribulations of PSKmail and
FLdigi, so many revisions along with so many problems in making it one of the
ultimate packages.
I have seen over time, an immense effort being made to achieve the ultimate
goal of
success.
I personally think there is only one real way to solve many of the problems
faced........
Dare I say it.........you need a hardware box between PC and radio with a micro
to do the job.
I think back 20 years to the concept that LL Grace had, with their DSP-12
modem, it came with the basic modem nuts and bolts and developers could build
their own firmware to run in it based on the V40 architecture.
This box cost nearly $600 in its day, very expensive but, the concept was a
good one.
Fast forward to today and.........we have a multitude of low cost processors
that could be used for the same sort of purposes.
Yes, there is a hardware cost but, it allows much of the hard processing work
to be taken away from the PC. The DSP56303, or similar may yield a solution?
Maybe someone knows a processor that is more suitable.
I seriously think, this is a route that should seriously be looked at.
73,
Jack, waiting to be shot down :-)
