The computer runs one of the apps (Winlink, WSJT-X, JS8Call, Fldigi, SSTV/Yoniq etc) which generates and interprets audio signals for the radio to send and receive.

Today we are talking about interfacing a regular computer such as laptop PC or Raspberry Pi (bits and bytes side) to a regular analog radio (beeps and boops side). It’s easy to get confused by the lingo of digital modes and not without a reason – “digital radio” label can mean anything from digital frequency display to complete end-to-end digital systems such as DMR, D-star and Fusion. other existing and future digital modes over line-of-sight VHF/UHF connection.quick local QSOs using FT8 and FT4 (not common over FM).remote internet-like connectivity via Echolink, Allstar etc.location and weather reporting via repeaters and satellites using APRS.images from terrestrial hams and from the satellites using SSTV.messaging for fun and preparedness using JS8Call and Winlink.When the rosin smoke clears we’ll be able to enjoy: For that I thank them.įor maximum controversy we are combining all of the above with the help of Digirig. For that I thank them.Īh, the digital modes… Not the “real radio” according to some, but a great way for the computer enthusiasts to get interested in everything ham related and for the introverts to log some QSOs without hearing about prostate exams. The price of an IC-V80 on ebay is comparable to the higher wattage baofeng HTs.Ah, the Baofengs… Not the finest equipment the money can buy, but there is no denying that they make it easier to get into the amateur radio without selling your kidney. It’s working fine for FSQ, including photo transmission with that mode. This article indicates that Digirig PTT control over the baofeng is possible, I just havent personally tried it yet: VHF/UHF Digital Modes with budget HTs – digirigįor HT transmission with fldigi I just picked up an icom IC-V80 sport, and the proper Digirig cable. You might opt to set the radio to transmit at lower power too, to keep the radio from heating up.
If you choose to stick with the baofeng, I recommend turning off the battery saver in the baofeng settings menu (you need the receiver on and listening 100% of the time), and activating a half second pre-signal tone in Fldigi under Configure | IDs | RsID. But, the limitations of that radio were a constant struggle. This could be remedied by upgrading equipment, selecting a faster digital mode, or transmitting fewer characters (send the information directly from fldigi without all the extra characters transmitted by an flmsg form).Ĭontinuing our convo from the other thread, I have made a baofeng work with fldigi using other brands of cables (utilizing VOX), so I know the radio is capable of digital modes transmission. If it is too hot to comfortably touch after 2 minutes of transmission, you may be exceeding the duty cycle of that particular radio, causing the transmitting radio to malfunction in unpredictable ways. Feel the case of the transmitting radio.If you have TOT set for 120 seconds, the transmission will stop after 2 minutes. Check the time out timer in the settings.Of course also double check the simple things like frequency, wide/narrow band, that the antenna is screwed onto the radio, connections to the digirig, and make sure offset is turned off for simplex use. If you have non-compatible CTCSS codes, you may not hear the transmission from the second radio even if the first radio is transmitting properly.

I just learned how to do that on the pi, and posted it here if you need it: Auto Gain Control in Linux? All those levels are managed through alsamixer on the pi.
