Winlink


 

I’m new to the group and to BTX kits so please excuse me if this has already been covered.

I’m involved with emcomm wonder if anyone uses these small hf rigs with Winlink?

If so would you please let me know if any mods are required to the basic kit.

73, thanks, WU0G

Well I’ve used them several times successfully. The audio band width is not quite as large as one would like. ?You can change some capacitors in the Crystal filter to fix that if you wish; I haven’t yet?

We’re only talking 5 to 10 watts here, so you need some pretty good conditions and Good antenna and stations to work with.

I put an RJ-45 jack on each of mine so they can’t immediately be connected to a signalink or a similar soundcard interface

I have not yet tried them on with a pactor.?

I have also used ?one for automatic link establishment (ALE) demos, where again the slightly narrow audio Bandpass is an issue.

They are nice little rigs, easy to carry into a classroom setting with a 12 V battery: I use the low-power filament of a tail light bulb as their dummy load. ? With such a poor load ?I don’t push them to run real high power

Cheers

I've been using mine for Winlink as well.? My sloping 'S' shaped 40/20 attic dipole isn't optimum by any means, and I sometimes have to jump from station to station to get a reply, but it does move email through the network.

My mic connector is the 4-pin Kenwood type so I can move the Signalink between my TS-530S and the ?BITX.

Doc Gordon - how wide should the bandwidth be for Winlink?? Heaven help me - there might be another tweak in the queue.? hi hi hi

Well, I suspect at LEAST 2 kHz. ?I think mine is more like 1800 hz. ?Optimal is probably 2.4 kHz

?If you’re short on bandwidth and things aren’t working, try the 500 Hz winmor mode in that should be better, if slower?

Thanks!? I feel a white noise/SDR test coming on.

I'm using your books - thank you for documenting your work with Winlink and ALE!? And please pass on a 'thank you' to Mr. Prepperdoc as well.

?ha, ha!!? ?Next time I see that elusive fella I'll be sure to tell him you appreciated the hours and hours he spent!
