Fwd: [ca_aprs] New Ver .94b Version of UZ7HO "Soundmodem" Software TNC Released

[Bill Vodall]

Is this, "the year of the sound card TNC?"

I think so... DireWOLF is being worked on, AGWPE has just made a new
release of his HF soundard modem and now UZ7HO has an upgrade.

Subject: [ca_aprs] New Ver .94b Version of UZ7HO "Soundmodem" Software
TNC Released
To: CA APRS <ca_...@yahoogroups.com>

Version .94b of UZ7HO's "Soundmodem" soundcard software TNC program
was released yesterday (21 Feb 2016).

In addition to various bug fixes and tweaks, Andrei has now added a built-in
digipeater function to this superb software TNC. This API-compatible drop-in
replacement for the AGW Packet Engine can now function as a basic
stand-alone digipeater (no other software required). The digipeater
DOES NOT do
APRS-style decrementing WIDEn-N digipeating, but will function as a simple
WIDE1-1 fill-in digi.

For those that wish to experiment with non-traditional AX.25 transmission
formats (i.e other than 300 and 1200 baud AFSK), the Soundmodem is capable of
operating on a variety of other modulation modes including 600 and 2400 baud
AFSK and a variety of BPSK and QPSK modulation modes.

As usual I have repacked UZ7HO's basic ZIP file into a full Windows
"wizard"-type installer that prompts for an install folder, creates a Start
Menu group that includes a PDF Users Guide, and creates a desktop shortcut.

As before, it works perfectly with UIview. Just select choose "Host Mode,
AGWpe" on the "Setup, Comms Setup" page.

It is also extremely useful for debugging & testing TinyTracks and similar
devices off the air, since the Soundmodem contains a built-in monitor window
that displays decoded packets without requiring any external programs. (This
is invaluable in separating basic transmit configuration issues from errors
configuring complex APRS client programs.) Tune a Bearcat scanner or
transceiver to the operating frequency, connect the scanner's "Recording" jack
to the "Mic-In" on your PC, and install a copy of the Soundmodem.

UZ7HO will also work with the next version of DMAPPER3 once I get it out of testing. Next Dmapper will also support Garmin BASECAMP.

I'm semi retired now so finding more time to play.
