Digitmodes what am I missing

[Art Bross]

Just goes to show that for every CW nut out there there is a digi nut who prefers to type on the keyboard and is fascinated with the ability of these programs to decode a bunch of tones and turn them into letters. Not all of us are into paddles and talking on the mic all the time. It's what makes us hams.

How about the new digital audio mode Freedv that uses simultaneous PSK streams to give noise free digital audio on the HF bands at decreased bandwidth?

Hi Art,

I just went to the Freedv web site: : http://freedv.org/tiki-index.php

Looks interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm like the other guy.  First, I don't like digital audio, but will admit never
having heard whatever this mode your talking about is.  Second, noise free voice
operation would be very boring, not interested.  I can use my phone if I want
noise free.

Neither Denis nor I, nor anyone else said that no one does or should like digital.  No one is trying to do away with digital or make it less legal.  We just said that we did not care for it because it is too much like e-mail which we obviously do not want to get away from because we are participating.  We just said that we enjoy CW and do not want to lose it either.  RTTY annoys me because it takes up the whole band, but PSK,  not so much.  But, if you would like, I will go on record that PSK or RTTY has not proved to be either immoral or fattening.

Gee, Willis, if you don't like RTTY then you must detest SSB. All that
wasted digital bandwidth.

BTW, as an apartment dweller with almost no antenna opportunities, "like
e-mail" is better than nothing at all for me and my XYL!

Actually, ham RTTY signals use 170 Hz FSK (or AFSK), and a clean signal
burns about 500 Hz. I see far too many CW signals that burn 500 Hz. My
neighbor does with his IC7600.

As to the original topic of this thread, I work a lot of RTTY in
contests, a bit of DX, and have had lots of fun on 6M with Joe Taylor's
WSJT modes doing meteor scatter and ionospheric scatter to pick up grids
that are too far for tropo and too close for sporadic E. The K3 is GREAT
for these uses. I do share the disgust others have articulated for
"brag" stuff.
