for Installation on Computers with Windows
STEP I Installing and Configuring UZ7HO
Modem Program
Note: These instructions
were written by Jeff: AE5ME
Here is the
step-by-step procedure to get UZ7HO running:
1) Download the
zip file from the link: http://uz7.ho.ua/modem_beta/soundmodem84.zip
2) Unzip the
file to the directory of your choice. There is only ONE executable file
that will come from the zip file. No DLLs or setup.exe to worry about.
3) Make a
shortcut to the soundmodem.exe file. You can put it on your desktop for
your convenience.
4)
Configuration is easy after soundmodem.exe is run. Go
ahead and click on your shortcut or run the executable directly.
5) Click the
settings dropdown. Then click on devices.
Set the input device to the microphone (or audio line in)
connection of your soundcard interface. Without being at your computer, I
can't tell you what the name of that is. If you don't know the name of
it, I suggest we set up a remote login session so I can connect to your
computer and see your particular configuration.
Set the output device to the speaker connection of your soundcard
interface.
Under server setup, make sure to check BOTH AGWPE server port
and KISS server port. Default ports numbers should be set and not
require any modification.
Default
ports numbers should be set and not require any modification.
7) Click on OK
and then click on settings dropdown again. This time click on
modems.
On the modems screen, click on the mode dropdown on the left side
of the screen. Set it to "BPSK AX.25 300 baud".
Click on "OK" and the sound modem software is configured
and ready
STEP II Installing and Configuring
APRSIS32 Client
Note: These instructions
were written by Jeff: AE5ME
Instructions for
installing APRSIS32:
2)
Similar to the UZ7HO
program, you will unzip to the folder of your choice. The only item
will be the APRSIS32.EXE. No DLL's, setup files, etc.
3)
Make a shortcut to the
APRSIS32.EXE location.
4)
Run soundmodem.exe first
(the first program you installed). Run APRSIS32.EXE next.
5)
A setup wizard will pop
up the first time you run it. Enter your callsign with a SSID of your
choice. For example, I am AE5ME-5. You can leave off the SSID if
you just want to use your callsign. Click on "accept".
6)
Once the program starts
up, then click on "CONFIGURE". Then click on
"PORTS". Click on "NEW PORT". Set type as
AGW. Name as UZ7HO. Click on the create button.
7)
Hit the port type button
as "TCPIP".
8)
Enter an address of
127.0.0.1 and port of 8000. Click on OK.
9) On the last pop-up,
check the check boxes like I've done (see screen capture below). Rather
than using AE5ME as the call you would, of course, use your own call possibly
followed by a dash and a number: such as K5RKS
or K5RKS-4. Then click on Accept.
10) Locate your station
(as the map says) by moving and zooming to where you are on the map. Zooming in
or out is performed by using the vertical scroll bar on the left side of the
map.
11) Click on the
"Transmit" button when you have finished locating. You should
see some text show up on the soundmodem.exe screen. If your soundcard interface
is connected to a radio, it should transmit.
Once you've done all the
above, you are ready to begin some on-the-air testing with your rig. You have
to setup the audio input and audio output cables between your rig and
soundcard. Also you need to setup your PTT control. These will be the subject
of a subsequent addition to this cribsheet.
