psk31 with no computer
spacecase0:
if you have a phone that does PSK31, then keep with that,
I have no smart phone, so that is why I went the way I did.
I had one of these already
http://www.westmountainradio.com/product_info.php?products_id=pnp
so it was not that hard to go the extra step and get the low power use computer.
and I also use linux,
but for the radio things, there is just some software that just not out there for linux, and not all of it runs well enough with wine, and it is super handy for programming the radios.
so I just run windows for the radio computer, it does not have any reason to be networked anyway, so it should be just fine.
Tempstar:
Quiet1, I'll jump on with you Sunday afternoon if you're interested. I'll give a shout here.
AD:
I have a Signalink USB, but have not hooked it up and tried it. Had to just reformat my laptop so I need to reload the HRD and give it a try over Christmas when I have some down time from traveling.
Quiet1:
@spacecase0: True, when it comes to a lot of devices and associated manufacturer-supplied software – radio, gps, car tuner, etc. – using anything but Windows is like a tonsillectomy from the wrong end. I'm going to keep my eyes open for a decent used laptop.
@Tempstar: Sounds good, thanks! Let's finalize times and frequencies as the week progresses.
@work: I'm coming, I'm coming... out the door in 10 minutes.

http://nue-psk.com/
and kind of want to get one,
the computer just pulls to much power to use in any sort of emergency,
but this toy takes almost no power,
alternately I could just stick to voice or try to learn CW...

I have one of the Nue-psk modems and it works great - lots of fun in a small package ! Mine will do PSK and RTTY and will fit in a fanny pack except for the keyboard I use is an old PS2 keyboard for a desktop PC. Been trying to find a mini keyboard with a PS2 plug on it with no luck. I can order a mini keyboard but its a usb and would require an adapter that converts it to PS2 but I've heard somefolks have trouble getting that to work right. Anyway, the Nue-psk modem goes well with my Yaesu FT-817 or my Icom 703 !
