I'm doing some analysis of RTTY spots made by RBN nodes reporting 2 decimal place frequencies. Some of them I know to be using GPS disciplined oscillators, while others aren't. The GPSDO stations gen
I expect to tune any spot, so I guess I don't care. Tuning is not a big deal to me. I often slightly adjust my frequency while running to avoid QRM. The RBN doe not necessarily note the shift. I expe
Any spot should simply be a starting point to tune in, copy and validate the transmitting station's call sign. In less than 30 minutes, a new RTTY operator should be able to develop the skill to tune
There are several issues being comingled here. I think that the absolute accuracy of the spot is more important. If you are running S&P assisted, and the spots are accurate, then with a tight AFC you
Good points, Jeff and Ed. Certainly, there's no benefit in moving someone to 14091.13 rather than 14091.1. One part of this is the old "accuracy vs precision" conundrum. Doesn't do much good to repor
Good point about AFC. I abhor that feature and never use it, so don't consider it much. To the extent spots are accurate to 2 decimal points relative to the radio, then AFC would benefit S&P by reduc
It's probably even more important to the average RTTY contester who cannot run as much as he would like, for whatever reason. 73/jeff/ac0c www.ac0c.com alpha-charlie-zero-charlie --Original Message--
It's pretty easy to tune stations exactly using the arrow keys. Of course, RIT needs to be off, as it should be in S&P. I use numpad keys 1,2,4 and 5 for nextmult-otherradio-bandmap and nextqso-other
Pete, I have thought about your question from the running standpoint, and I think I saw fewer off-frequency callers while I was running in CQ WW RTTY than I have had in the past. It is likely that th
Not even being such a good DXer or Contest operator. But doing those last events almost anytime as assisted I wouldn't care at all of the second digit on RTTY spots. A well known part of the S&P is t
I don't use RTTY Skimmer, but when I'm running, I would rather everyone is not exactly on the same frequency when calling me. I just use the RIT and {clearrrit} functions. For me it's aggravating to
I never get aggravated when people are calling me. I get aggravated when they stop. ;) 73 jeff wk6i@W7RN -- Jeff Stai ~ wk6i.jeff@gmail.com Twisted Oak Winery ~ http://www.twistedoak.com/ Facebook ~
Do you abhor AFC in all of the multiple decoders that you using? John KK9A Good point about AFC. I abhor that feature and never use it, so don't consider it much. To the extent spots are accurate to
Yes. I am very uncomfortable with tuning being done for me and selecting which signal to zero-beat. My multiple decoders are grouped on a much smaller number of audio streams. At most, there are 4 au
