I am pleased that we have added a new FLDIGI port on 2m, in addition to the one already on 40m.
The new port operates at BPSK1000 at a center frequency of 1500 Hz on 145.03 Mhz FM.
The instructions previously given on this blog are identical, with the exception that you have to change the configuration file mode to BPSK1000 instead of BPSK250. Due to the nature of an FM signal, we opted to provide a speed that is comparable, if not a little faster than conventional 1200 bps packet.
Once you connect to the BBS, you can create outgoing connections to HF BPQ32 stations and conventional packet stations on 145.01 Mhz.
For those of you that do not have HF equipment, this is an excellent opportunity to try out the capabilities brought by marrying FLDIGI to BPQ32.
Next stop: APRS on FLDIGI!
PSK-1000 is a nice bump in speed compared to PSK-250.
ReplyDeleteShould we expect to be more noise-tolerant when compared to traditional packet ? I think you said this was every bit as fast if not a bit faster ...
Are you on good terms with any other HF BPQ nodes ?
ReplyDeleteIf so, I guess we could get into those via HF or via Internet all from your node ?
