v2.02k - Twice the fun, WSPR and QRSS together!


Hans Summers
 


Good morning all,

This is all the fault of Keith Maton G6NHU, who asked for a special version. Then we thought others might like it too. So that became v2.02k.?

It is based on v2.02 but the difference is, it ALWAYS sends a WSPR transmission in the first 2 minutes, followed by the selected QRSS mode. The intended use, is to send WSPR for 2 minutes, followed by 8 minutes of FSK/CW (or other mode). You have to use Frames in this version. They don't have to be 10 minutes, but need to be long enough to fit WSPR and your message, and if you are using GPS, you need 13 seconds free at the end of each frame to do the calibration.

This means you can play with WSPR, and QRSS modes, at the same time. You can select a different frequency for the WSPR transmission and the FSK/CW (or other QRSS mode) transmission.

The summary of the "version k" is here??and you can also download its own operating manual, specific to this version, which details all the differences.

If you want, you can buy this version of the chip here?

Hi Hans

That's great, exactly what my PIC DDS MEPT does, shown on Knights Frequency Table as 8minutes QRSS, 2miinutes to commune with Satan. I knew you would manage to do something with those few left over bytes.

This is the upgrade I'm most excited about!

Once the Martello Tower Group have received their 2.02k version, we will be installing it into G0PKT and running both WSPR and QRSS on 30m and setting up a second station on 10m doing the same thing.

Thanks for the work you've put into this update and the new customised version, Hans.

Hi Eddie

No, I didn't put it into the spare bytes! I removed the Hell modes from v2.02k to make space. Hell takes a lot of space in the memory because it's a huge look-up table for all the character definitions. Some day if I really wanted to pretend to be smart, I should see if I could make a data compression algorithm to make that character table fit in less space. I should give that some thought...

Eddie,

Now you've done it!

Two showers and a train journey and Hans will have worked it out.
