What is Easypal Digital SSTV? >>Digital Easypal is not slow scan, the SSTV part has stuck because it sends images.

In basic terms it's file transfer also known as DRM 'digital Radio Mondiale' The advantage over analogue SSTV is the error correction. With error correction you can get a perfect image IE what is sent is what you receive. A good program is and this will use the same basic interface that many of you may already be using for analogue SSTV.

The place to find most activity is on the 20m band 14.236.

The program and the codec used are all free open source and are cross platform so it can run under both Windows and Linux with the source code available to everyone. For RX only you will only need one sound card but for RX/TX you will need a second sound card, one of the cheap USB sounds dongles will do fine. First tests with FreeDV were very encouraging finding 3 others on 14.236 within 10 minutes of installing the software. Xilinx Ise 9.1 I Download more.

SDR Radio to Decode Multiple Frequencies The latest SDR Consol version 2 now allows you to monitor multiple frequencies at the same time and send them via VAC 'virtual audio cable' to multiple programs to be decoded. I have been testing the SDR Consol on 20mtr to decode MMSSTV on 14.230 and EasyPal on 14.233 but you could monitor up to 6 frequencies at the same time.

IE: MMSSTV on 14.227, 14.230, EasyPal on 14.233, Free-DV on 14.236 and all of this on the same SDR Radio. I am using the SDR-IQ by RF Space but the SDR Consol will interface with many SDR radios including the cheap entry level Soft Rock.

I am looking into changing ether the gearbox or the motor that drives the capacitor for tuning as I find it very hard to fine tune. My tower is a TennaMast that holds my HF beam KT34a and a Comet 422v rotary dipole. I will soon be replacing my KT34a with 3 element SteppIR beam to give me the extra WARC bands that the old KT34a don't cover. As I do any antenna work I will take photos and videos and add them to this page.

One thing we all want to do these days is save money and solar power seems a good way to do that right now, but as a radio ham you will also need to think about interference. There are so many horror stories about radio hams being unable to use their radio's due to a neighbor installing a solar system. The secret is chosing the right solar inverter and making sure the fitters do a proper job and also get filetrs fitted where needed.

I have has a 4kw system fitted and to date not found any QRM on UHF, VHF or HF. Click for my page showing my solar system make and models with photos inside and outside.

I hope it is of some help to you. Live Weather Station I am now using a Davis Vantage Vue Weather Station and have now made up a set of pages to display the data.

At the moment I am learning to fly using Phoenix RC simulator connected to my Spektrum DX7 transmitter. I now fly my helicopter's on Sundays and stream live video from the club, click on sunday mornings to watch. I also have a miniature spy camera / recorder so when I get time I will get some videos from the sky for download. Click to go to my RC Model page FPV - First Person View / First Pilot View As part of my model plane and helicopter hobbie I am also getting into FPV. FPV is short for First Person View or First Pilot View and allows model flyers to fit a video camera to their craft and see the pilots view via video goggles.

I will be using 5.8Ghz video transmitters so not to interfere with my 2.4Ghz radio control gear. Over the winter months I will get my Raptor 60 helicopter fitted up and hope to stream the video live via the internet over the summer months. It would be good to hear from anyone else into FPV as this is all new to me and want to know about adding on screen flight information too.
