awesome.. how do you interface your radio receiver with your computer? also i was thinking on doing automatic speech recognition on radio frequencies, if i manage to get the right hw, and then release the source..

@feebdaed

With this one i use a ICOM IC-R9500 that ive had a TOS link fitted into it

for the sound

its very easy to link your radio to computer as long as it has at least a headphone plug then just get a cable with 2 male ends one for radio and then into the mic input of your computer

even if it dont have a headphone plug you can just put the radio next to the computer mic

or if your handy with soldering just take a head phone cable and wire into the radio speaker

@xDuBx420x It is a way of sending encrypted messages to agents operating in other countries. They broadcast a message on a specific frequency at a preset time that usually consists of a block of numbers that, ostensibly, the receiving agent then decodes for a message.

I'm not sure how this fellow plans to decrypt as when correctly used, one time pads are pretty much invulnerable to analysis.

I don't understand a single comment here. Can someone please give me some detailed explanation of these broadcasts in laymans terms, to me, someone who is completely unfamiliar with ANYTHING to do with number stations or short wave radios. Thanks.

I have no idea what is going on here. Something about broadcasts to spies.

ive just had a look and you might be stuck with DIGTRX the EasyPay wont do the same mode it can TX and RX files but it use the WinDRM

Well shoot, if EasyPal can do RDFT, that solves my problem in a nutshell. It's a similar interface and much less crash-prone, with actual updates these days. I'll have to look into it, thanks!

[X06Shadow]

i think a program called EasyPal can do the RDFT mode to

its been some time since i last try as i cant pic up the cuban RDFT

i say its easier to find as the MFSK-20

freq change every month and year. and the cuban RDFT ones have been at the same times and days for years

[tcgiant]

wait, how is RDFT easier to find? The only Windows program I've seen do it is DIGITRX and it crashes constantly. Google has been NO help in finding alternatives. D:
