Hello to all,

 

For information, a note about the use of AM and FM demodulation and decoding, using the FunCube Dongle:

·      using the FCHid program, from the defauts adjustments, change the "IF gain 5" and the "IF gain 6" from "+3dB" to "+15 dB" so to have a sufficient AF level,

·      adjust the microphone gain of the Funcube to 100% on the mixer.

Note: to change the FunCube frequency you can use either the FCid program or the FCD DF program. FCD DF is preferable due to the frequency memories.

·         start Multipsk (4.21), push "Direct via the sound card" + "+Speaker" of the "I/Q interfaces for SdR transceivers" panel, then push "RX/TX screen". Possibly, push on the "QRGs" button to have some proposed frequencies for the selected mode.

·      on the SdR panel, select LSB/USB/AM or FM according to the mode to decode. In all cases, click just on the central frequency of the transmission on the SdR waterfall.

To test AM: select "ACARS" on the Multipsk mode panel and 131725 KHz (for example) on the FCD DF program.

To test FM: select "PACKET" on the Multipsk mode panel and 144800 KHz in Europe (144390 KHz in North America) on the FCD DF program. 1382 (in Europe) and NWR (in USA and Canada) modes are also demodulated in FM before decoding.

Yes ... you can use funcube hid ( or fc df) and multipsk ... but I use hdsdr
and just route the decoded audio to multipsk ...
(hdsdr also has memorys!!)

When using the rig I select line in ... and when using the sdr I select
stereomix (what you hear) as input signal

Easier to change between rig and sdr cause all other settings are then the
same ... another nice thing is that with hdsdr you can sync the rig and the
sdr to same qrg (rig via cat) ... use the sdr as bandscope, find a signal,
click on it in waterfall and your rig is exact on same frequency as the sdr
software

Ps I made some snapshots in google earth to include them as maps in aprs
window ... works better as the google earth link ... just note the "corners"
of the snapshot and copy the picture as map in the maps folder of multipsk
