v2.02k - Twice the fun, WSPR and QRSS together! (and new feature request)


"m0xsd@..."
 

Hans,

My v2.02k arrived this morning and is now up & running under test and seems to be working just fine.

I was wondering if it would be possible to append an automatic QRA function to the QRSS Message in a future incarnation of the 'k' version? i.e. in my case a Message of 'M0XSD ' would become 'M0XSD QRA IO84GN00SB'. With the menu item being in the range 0 to 10 in even steps, 0 being off (no QRA displayed) up to the maximum of 10 (as shown in my example above).

I would find this extremely useful to let people know my exact position (to the accuracy defined) when out portable.

Hi Colin?

You are saying an automatic locator, which gets the latitude and longitude from a GPS module, converts them into all those digits, and appends it with an accuracy specified by you?

Well, if you can do that for him, I want one that will turn the kit into a time travel device so that I can visit my ancestors and show them why they shouldn't have had any children

I never said I could do that for him. I just wanted to make sure I understood the question, first ;-) ??

It sounded like rather a tall order. Do you know how long it took my feeble brain to work out how to turn the text stream coming from the GPS into the correct 4-character Maidenhead locator.... ? Until reading this email I had no idea Maidenhead locators went any further than 6-characters.?

Yes Hans, that is basically it.

Just like you do now for WSPR with the 4 digit locator but with the option to specify between 4 & 10 digits (depending on the accuracy/transmission time you want).
?
I realise it is no simple task but I figured that since you had the data there already why not do something useful with it.
?
It is no great problem if you can¡¯t do it, it will just save me a lot of time doing it manually, thats all.
