DRAWS Production Status

by k7udr

DRAWS Early Adopters!

Sales has gone over our initial run. That combined with an industry wide shortage on capacitors, has delayed assembly. We hope to have them shipping by the end of the month. We will confirm later this week once the shortages have been filled.

Thanks,
Bryan K7UDR

WinDV has not been updated in a long time. Apparently there have been enough changes in DSTAR that WinDV no longer works. 

I followed the advice I got on https://www.facebook.com/groups/DSTAR.Users.Group downloaded and installed BlueDV. It works great with the ThumbDV.

The only disadvantage is I can't use it on my old Dell Mini 9 with XP. But there is a Linux version so I will probably convert the Mini 9 to Linux Mint.

NOAA issued an ALTTP2-0239 UTC - High speed particles escaped the sun!

A Schwarz
 

Hi Everybody;

 

NOAA issued a ALTTP2 alert. This is not the kind of alert I would expect at solar minimum. I also honestly have to admit this is the first time I see it. It states that we will be getting nit by a plasma cloud at the speed of almost 900km/s. This is fast! The only indication that there was a masse ejection is a B class solar x-ray-flux spike. Kp and proton flux are low too.

Conditions at the MDSR test station are still reasonable good, but if the type II emission hits we will get some serious propagation change. We cannot predict if this will be good or bad for    

 

Stay tuned!

 

Current conditions at the MDSR test station:

80m open S5

40m open S4

30m open S3

20m open S4

15m closed S3

10m closed S1

 

Watch it live here:

All the best and 73;

 

Alex - VE7DXW

===============================================================================

NOAA Alert:

 

Space Weather Message Code: ALTTP2

Serial Number: 1068

Issue Time: 2018 Oct 12 0239 UTC

 

ALERT: Type II Radio Emission

Begin Time: 2018 Oct 12 0152 UTC

Estimated Velocity: 864 km/s

www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation

Description: Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the sun and typically indicate a coronal mass ejection is associated with a flare event.

I'm not defending it or its usage, but the open-source wine compiles
cleanly on a RPi2B after bison and flex packages are installed:

Hi John.

I'll pass thanks, if it's this fragmented and peculiar just to see basic technical spec's I wont bother.   Especially as there are viable alternatives that are indeed fully documented.

Groups.io has groups and sub-groups. We use sub-groups for topics surrounding a product or major topic. 

In theory, discussions about AMBE products have a sub-groups as does one for UDRC & DRAWS. People can then subscribe to sub-groups off interest. 

Main, this group, is for general topics. It sometimes gets thread that truely should be in a sub-group.

Simply join the sub-groups that interest you.

Have you tried other reflectors? Your default may be temporarily down.

If the ThumbDV works with BlueDV (or Buster), then the ThumbDV is fine.

Software support is by the software author -- WinDV support is at http://www.dutch-star.eu/feedback.aspx

Someone gave me a pointer and I pulled down the HTML directory zip file.  Yes, they are pretty straight forward HTML files.  I did not know where they were located, and I didn't see a top level "Here are the forms" top level link. I would have installed WE to see if I could find them.  However, it will take some time to figure out what the transmission API looks like.

What I would like to see are some nice architectural diagrams and protocol/API documentation.  Plus move the code to Open Source and public repositories.

Really, did you spend more than 5 seconds looking? All the standard forms are downloadable in a zip file using the manual update process:
https://winlink.org/WinlinkExpressForms
Or you can pull them from an installed instance of WE, oddly, they live in the "RMS Express\Standard Templates" directory. Who would have guessed?!

If other developers choose not to create a compatible process, or user choose not to create forms for their needs, it is not due to a lack of documentation.

I think that's because that page is not part of the "main" group.   So, what gives?

I only came here to find some tech info, at John's suggestion, as all that's publicized so far is advertising copy with no real "meat on the bone".
