...das Nutzen dieses Links hilft dem Aufrechterhalten dieser Seiten! Bei Ebay lassen sich u. a. gebrauchte Soundkarten ersteigern, die für die hier gelisteten Programme ideal sind. Ein älterer - originaler - Creative Labs SB 16 (ISA) ist für wenig Geld zu haben, reicht von der Leistung her völlig aus und vermeidet Kompatibilitätsprobleme (vgl. Abschnitt Erfahrungen). Eine Registrierung bei Ebay ist kostenlos.

Introduction


Noch vor einigen Jahren galten RTTY, FAX, SSTV & Co. als Sonderbetriebsarten, da der Aufwand, um darin QRV zu werden, insbesondere im Hardware-Bereich recht hoch war. Mit der Verbreitung von Computern übernahmen diese einen Teil der Aufgaben, und schon mit minimalen Aufwand (z. B. HamComm-Komperatormodem) konnten recht brauchbare Ergebnisse erzielt werden. Da inzwischen in den meisten Computern auch eine Soundkarte steckt, liegt es nahe, diese mit den Aufgaben der Decoder-Hardware zu betrauen, was dann quasi zu einer "Null-Hardware-Lösung" führt (okay, eine Soundkarte ist auch Hardware...).

Diese Seite soll eine Aufstellung von Software bieten, die die Soundkarte für amateurfunkspezifische Aufgaben nutzt, also die Sonderbetriebsarten, DSP o. a. Es sollte aber etwas mehr können als ein Morse-Übungsprogramm, das die Zeichen auch via Soundkarte ausgibt...

Wenn Ihnen weitere Software bekannt ist, die auf diese Seite passen würde, schicken Sie doch bitte eine kurze Email an Oliver, DL9QJ (welp@muenster.de) mit den entsprechenden Angaben (auch kommerzielle Infos willkommen!). Vielleicht entwickelt sich so hier eine Info-Seite, die vielen Nutzen bringt. Bitte benachrichtigen Sie mich auch, wenn Sie feststellen, daß einzelne Links nicht mehr funktionieren. Vielen Dank im voraus!

Eine kleine Übersicht von bislang mit den Programmen gemachten Erfahrungen finden Sie weiter unten (und auch dafür werden gerne Ergänzungen entgegengenommen!).

Ein Artikel von mir zu diesem Thema findet sich im FUNK Sonderheft 1998 (erschienen zur Ham Radio 98).



Many years ago, modes like RTTY, SSTV and fax were only used by specialists who had the knowledge and financial resources. Expensive converters were neccessary. This changed after home computers were used substituting a part of the expensive hardware. Even with very little hardware (like the well-known HamComm modem) you can get astonishing results. To go one step further, you can drop any extra hardware if your computer has a sound card (as most computers will have nowadays). The soundcard and the computer do all the work neccessary to decode/encode the signals.

On this page you can find a good choice of programs that do ham related tasks using the sound card, e. g. RTTY, fax, but also DSP or audio frequency analyzing. But the programs should be able to do a bit more than just beeping CW via the sound card.

If you know about other software that would fit on this page, I'll be very glad to hear from you (Email: dl9qj@amsat.org). Maybe a page would come out that is of maximum use for all hams (or non-hams) that would like to be QRV on these modes without spending a lot for hardware or get more use of the resources they already own. Please, also tell me if you find that any of the links are not working.

If you already tried any of those (or other) sound card programs, I would love if you would share the experience with me (and future readers of this page in case you allow me to publish it here). I look forward to hear from you!

Remarks

Linux Kernel

From the Sound HOWTO:

"Another novel use for a sound card under Linux is as a modem for amateur packet radio. The recent 2.1.x kernels include a driver that works with SoundBlaster and Windows Sound System compatible sound cards to implement 1200 bps AFSK and 9600 bps FSK packet protocols. See the Linux AX25 HOWTO for details (I'm a ham myself, by the way -- callsign VE3ICH)."

Erfahrungen / Experience

Allgemein / General

Sound Card:

Many of these programs use a direct access to the sound card hardware, thus so-called "Soundblaster compatible" cards often will not work. So use an original Creative Labs Soundblaster card (Pro, 16, 32 AWE, 64 AWE) whenever possible. That does not mean that your compatible card will not work at all; it depends on the program. Some programs will work with many cards, some only on original SBs. Just try, but keep in mind that you may encounter problems.

Always install the latest driver available, since older drivers might contain bugs. - Some programs (e. g. W95SSTV, ChromaPix) that run under 32 bit operating systems (Windows 95/98, NT) may require a 32 bit sound card driver. Even a driver for Windows 95/98 does not automatically have to be a 32 bit driver - sometimes it is a 16 bit driver and you will not even know.

Do not tune the input and output volumes to its maximum, 1/3 usually is enough, larger volumes can cause distortion since the audio amplifiers on sound cards are not quite linear.

Connections:

When using the "Microphone" input of the sound card, the signal will be lead through the microphone preamplifier. So do not use the "Microphone" input since this can cause distortion - always apply signal to the "Line In" input. Same is applicable for the output; use "Line Out" instead of the "Speakers" output.

When connecting to the radio, usually a direct connection will work. If you encounter problems with hum or others (noise caused by the computer etc.), try an audio transformer or a capacitor in the signal path to avoid galvanic connection. Consider the impedance of the sound card and your receiver / transmitter.

At the receiver, use a fixed level audio output e. g. for tape recording, if your receiver has such an output. If not, use the audio output but tune it to about 1/3 of maximum volume - more can cause distortion. High speed data (such as 9k6 packet radio) will need the connection to the discriminator output of the FM chip, the normal audio output will not work.

Transmitting:

If the program has transmit capability, the radio needs to be switched to transmit mode. Sound cards do not have a PTT (push-to-talk) output, so additional hardware might be neccessary. Many programs use a simple device like the DSR or RTS pin of a serial port to switch the PTT, this signal will switch a transistor which sets the PTT input of your radio to ground level. Please read the programs documentation to see what device will be neccessary. Sometimes (when fast switching is not required) an audio Vox circuit or the Vox of your radio can do the switching.

Flexnet

Verwendete Hardware und sonstige Software:

PC 486DX/33 MHz, 8 MB RAM, Soundkarte Shuttle 48 (SB 16-komp.; später original SB 32 AWE), MS-DOS 6.22, GP 1.61b; Icom IC-820H

Ergebnis:

Funktioniert (sowohl 1200 bps als auch 9600 bps)
Man sollte bei der Implementierung schrittweise vorgehen:
1. Schritt: Keine Verwendung der Soundkarte und der dafür benötigten SB-Treiber, sondern Konfiguration für ein vorhandenes Modem. In meinem Fall war das ein 1k2-BayCom-Modem (ser.). Das Modul TFEMU benötigte die Option /dm, damit es mit GP zusammen lief. GP ist recht groß, daher EMS notwendig. Läuft mit EMM386 zusammen.
2. Schritt: SB-Treiber, 1200 bps. Es stellte sich heraus, daß die SB-Treiber nicht zusammen mit EMM386 laufen; ohne EMS im konventionellen Speicher war nur noch eine Minimal-Konfiguration von GP möglich. Eine Umstellung auf QEMM brachte Abhilfe, nun kann GP wieder in normaler Größe geladen werden. - Es war notwendig, die Soundkarte als Windows Sound System zu konfigurieren. - Als PTT wurde die Lösung für die serielle Schnittstelle gewählt (-> COM3: mit gleichem IRQ wie COM1:, dort wird die Maus betrieben, ergab keine Probleme). - Aus bislang ungeklärten Gründen stürzte das Programm beim Starten manchmal ab; wenn es gestartet war, lief es ohne Probleme. Dieser Effekt wurde später mit einer Original SB 32 AWE nicht mehr beobachtet. Die SB 32 AWE ist nicht als WSS konfiguriert.
3. Schritt: 9600 bps. (Shuttle 48: Die Aussendungen klappen offenbar, da mein Digi darauf reagiert, der Empfang aber nicht.) Erneuter Test mit SB 32 AWE - funktionierte auf Anhieb. Allerdings wurde auch ein anderer Digi zum Testen verwendet (DBØEA statt wie bislang DBØMSC; letzterer hatte selbst einige Probleme bei Geschwindigkeiten > 1200 bps). Inzwischen funktioniert es aber auch mit DBØMSC.

Fazit: Das Flexnet-Programmpaket kann wirklich jedem empfohlen werden, der schnell und günstig in PR 1200 bps oder 9600 bps QRV werden bzw. von 1200 auf 9600 bps "aufsteigen" möchte. Das Setup ist aber nicht ganz einfach.

FTV

Verwendete Hardware und sonstige Software:

PC, Win95; LOWE HF 150

Ergebnis:

Probiert habe ich bisher nur Funk Fax. Funktioniert ganz ordentlich (auch unter WIN 95). Allerdings sind selbst bei einem schon sehr hohen NF Signal/Rauschabstand von 48 dB die empfangenen Bilder nicht gerade perfekt was allerdings auch an meinem Empfaenger (LOWE HF 150) liegen kann.

W95SSTV

Hardware and software used:

Pentium 150, 48 MB RAM, video capture card Winnov Videum AV (with integrated soundcard), Sony Camcorder, Windows NT 4.0 SP3

Results:

W95SSTV really is a great piece of software and easy to use. The setup is easy, you should know that the input level (see volume control) should be quite small in order not to distort the sigs (should not excced 1/2 - and it should not be muted...). Includes good documentation. The hardware requirements are quite high (486 and Windows 95 is minimum, better Pentium and (I'd say) NT), but if you meet them, W95SSTV truely is all you need to become QRV in SSTV in the best and cheapest way possible. Try it out! (if this sounds enthusiastic about this program, you got the message... ;-))
