![]() The JEEP has a 5-gallon water tank built into the rear bumper, and a 10 gallon fuel tank fitted inside the hollow of the spare tire. Sounds like a great outing for me JEEP and my dog, a 130 pound Great Dane. I'll decide for myself, but I enjoy remote areas where few can follow. Well, I'm a retired soldier and desert rat. Others have gone to this grid, and most have said "Never Again". Ive been Going between FT4, FT8, and JT65 for about 4 hours and I havent heard (seen) anything come up. ![]() (Doesnt support CAT Control.) Then finally a homebrew J-Pole on 5watts. Provided of course that the JEEP passes its trials and can make it into this remote area. The current setup is WSJT-X and Grid Tracker as software. Fldigi can receive WEFAX, NAVTEX, and SITORB Some of the modes even have the option to make custom submodes. If that works out well, perhaps I'll try PSK-31 too. I'll be QRP, and will likely try FT8 simply because of its weak signal and QRP capability. While down there I'll try to activate DL88. DL88 is 13,533 square miles (21,780 km/sq) and the portion of DL88 in the USA is only 19.4 square miles ( 31.26 km/sq). ![]() If you have a good enough vehicle, there is a point in Big Bend National Park where only 19 square miles of grid DL88 can be reached without crossing into Mexico. After phase 3, my shake-down outing will be into the Big Bend region SE of my home. Phase two (3 inch suspension lift) is completed. We have the ARRL GRID CHASE beginning this evening. Why re-invent the wheel? In what way would FL-Digi improve over WSJT-X? And would it be worth the hours and hours of work? And frankly, WSJT-X is pretty well developed. You could pass other very short pieces of data in a free-form message. Being busy, I did not try for the contact.įT and JT modes are great for exchanging grid and signal reports. My experience is that the software will decode JT65 signals above the indicated frequency but will not decode JT9 signals below the indicated frequency. You will want to change this setting to match what is currently happening on the band. We offer a large range of interfaces to ensure maximum compatibility with modern and older PCs and digimode software. The JT65 2400 JT9 setting tells the software to look for JT9 signals above the indicated frequency. I look, and there was an FT8 signal on 80m that I didn't detect by ear, and barely showed on the waterfall. Icom CAT control and Digital mode interfaces to use software such as Ham Radio Deluxe, FLDigi, WSJT-X to operate PSK31, FT-8, JT9, JT-65, Echolink and many other AFSK modes. More detail on JT65 JT65 uses the Reed Solomon code RS(63,12). Extensive error 17 correction is utilized. Signals can be recovered 24 dB below the noise floor. Messages must start within a few seconds of each minute UTC boundary. Then out of nowhere the computer squawks "NEW STATE". Message content is limited and each message is only 13 characters. I didn't touch the radio at all, I was busy elsewhere. I was sitting monitoring 80m early one morning. But they are very limited in usefulness beyond signal report and location. The JT and FT modes do some amazing stuff with minimal signal strength.
