Re: Canada FMBC PI code decoding support? #feature C. van Ravenswaaij #62909 Hi Simon, Upon receiving a PI code in Console with or without accompanied PS information, I do a search action in FMLIST -> myFM (free account necessary, login required) with filtering on frequency, type of propagation, PI code (more filtering available) to identify the received station. If this process could be incorporated and automated by Console that would speed up the amount of loggings per minute. In Es propagation a welcome feature, especially when used with multiple subreceivers in combination with RDS Logfile. Just dreaming, that's all.... 73, Cornel Op 21-6-2021 om 14:04 schreef Simon Brown: toggle quoted messageShow quoted text I have no idea.

Re: Canada FMBC PI code decoding support? #feature Simon Brown #62904 Yes, Would be best as it’s then logged. I would have to know whether we have a Canadian station or USA station, I suspect this could cause confusion. I don’t have time right now, if I do later then I’ll need some Canadian recordings to I can see what we’re dealing with.

Re: Elad S3 recording bug Simon Brown #62903 Hi Paul, If recording to hard disk then that disk really must be dedicated to recording and nothing else. Better is a RAID or SSD.

Re: Transverter for HL2 etc.w Larry Dodd #62899 Bill There is a significant difference between 12 bits and 16 bits in many ways. You may not hear the difference on a particular station depending on your sound card and audio reproduction capability. You can even see the difference in the spectrum.

Re: Transverter for HL2 etc. jdow #62897 I am not sure you can find an FM transmitter that good, a ham "studio" that quiet, or a path offering that demodulated instantaneous SNR. With a modulated signal your ears will generally not be able to hear an instantaneous SINAD over 40 dB or less. This is why most existing audio compression schemes work, But, I think that's not what you meant. Nonetheless it is an interesting factoid that my particular ear problems taught me a lot about. Yes, information is present in the averages of signal transitions. You can decimate signals down or look in FFT bins well below the 14 bits nominal dynamic range due to this averaging effect. Think of a signal that is maybe 6.5 bits peak to peak. Riding with it is a signal half a bit peak to peak. If they both are perfectly built around zero sometimes the A/D converter will read 7 bits, 6 bits, or even 5 bits. The weak signal comes out of that bit jitter. (That may be a poorly constructed example. But the essence is there. I have to get ready for some talks with my realtor.) {^_^} On 20210618 06:03:32, Bill Cox wrote: toggle quoted messageShow quoted text "HL2 is 12 bits, so we’re looking at ~74 dB dynamic range."

Canada FMBC PI code decoding support? #feature Eric Inloes #62896 Hi, I'm curious how hard it would be to implement this feature. Also would it conflict with the current setup? With that said Industry Canada posted this that supposedly has the algorithm https://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/h_sf08741.html Thanks!

Re: Processor requirements for tablet allen KC2KLC #62895 The Afedri LAN-IQ is above my budget level, and the Belka appears to be feature-poor. The Malahit seems to be an interesting alternative, albeit with some serious caveats (judging by the discussion at the link David Taylor provided). I'm going to continue to take my time to render a final determination as to exactly what setup will best suit my needs and my budget. Thanks again to all for the valuable feedback and I look forward to any additional advice that may be relevant.
