Introduction to PSK31 - Receiving

I have cleaned up the closed captioning.
Randy

I will show you how to get Digipan up and running in a few minutes receiving PSK31 without needing any interface boxes or cables. I have even uploaded a video of PSK activity on 20 meters for you to practice receiving PSK31 and using Digipan.

This is not hard, it is fun. Randy

Thank you very much for all your great videos; I am just getting into digital comms and your videos are very helpful in getting started. I'm looking to buy a newer radio for full operations in the digital modes and you've done a great service in answering my questions about the rig I need to buy.

Hope you have many PSK QSOs from the North Pole

From what I've heard most, if not all, people using PSK31 only do it for quick contacts to log stations and don't chat for QSOs. Is this so?

[K7AGE]

I believe what is happening is that many have all their QSO text in macros. So a QSO may only be an exchange of pre-canned messages. I really don't need to see 10+ lines of equipment used in a station. Asked some questions of the other person and engage in a conversation.

[liquidgee13]

As part of full disclosure on my part I haven't, and don't at the moment, operate PSK31. What I'm basing my statement on is posts others have made in ham relate forums stating their disappointment that the exchanges using this mode consist chiefly of signal reports, equipment and antenna gear and the like and that no "Hi, how you doing" sort of exchanges take place. Do you engage in ragchews using PSK31?

[K7AGE]

I certainly try to.

Thank you ... I look forward to one from you. Keep warm ... don't feed the bears...hi hi

This could work if you have a friend who is doing the same but I don't think you'll get QSO's on your own. With VHF/UHF you would use an X.25 connection, much higher bandwidth, 1200 or even 9600 baud. 73, W1SOP

I have a signalink USB and a Wouxun 2/440 HT ... I have the correct cable for the radio and signalink, can you use PSK with 2 meter or 440??

Useful video. Thanks! But I'm just a listener on shortwave.

... I'm using an MFJ-1625 Apartment/Balcony Ant. It's ok. Very limited here. Doesn't do the greatest on 80m but I didn't expect much. After a little modification it at least got me back on the air. Still looking for something better. K4RUE

i used packet radio back in the day, this seems alot more simple without a packet modem on an rs232 port :)
