Hi All, I can run Faros on my XP laptop, but it doesn't detect my HD soundsystem on my Vista PC. I don't know if this is soundcard related or OS related. I'll...
Yesterday, I received an SDR-IQ software defined receiver on loan from RFSpace (www.rfspace.com). It covers 500 Hz-30 MHz, all modes, and is about the size of...
Hi all, What does a probability value such as 3.47 mean, whereas I understand the value should be between 0.00 and 1.00? I didn't set up the delay properly,...
HI all, I tried to use cwskimmer with the contest software wintest. This is the setting: - 3 kHz radio hardware type; - CAT: no radio; - Telnet server enabled ...
Hi Greg, The Evidence value shown in the log and on the front panel of Faros is not a probability, it is a so called log-likelihood ratio. This value can be ...
Currently, Win-Test is the one and only logging program that has been shown not to work properly with CW Skimmer's telnet output. I have written to the...
One additional point - it is *probably* not the "-#" -- another win-Test user wrote a little app to strip that off before forwarding the Skimmer spots to...
Hi Art, You should probably select the actual radio in the CAT settings of CW Skimmer. Without CAT control, the program has difficulties assigning the ...
... the ... placed on ... HI Alex, I think it's a problem of wintest, as Pete N4ZR said (TNX Pete). In fact, I tried right now to do the same thing with N1MM...
OK thanks. Also, should I be able to run Faros with Vista? My sound card is not detected. 73 Greg VE9GFI ... Faros is not a ... can be ... presence of ... ...
Hi Greg, Faros is not officially supported on Vista and probably will never be. This program needs to accurately estimate the signal delay which requires a ...
Hi Pete, CW Skimmer/telnet works perfectly with N1MM as you have already mentioned. I don't know if I'm missing something obvious, but when I run Skimmer in...
I've managed to set up 2 virtual COM ports using a virtual serial port tool from Eltima Software. One goes to CW Skimmer and the other to N1MM. The 2 virtual...
Is that the Eltima Serial Splitter? I didn't realize it was that expensive. Still, not a bad fix if you can control the radio with either Skimmer or MM. 73,...
Hi... Have you tried "GPS Gate" from Franson? (Google is your friend!) It's not just GPS's that it can split between multiple app's, and not just on the same...
Thanks for this Dave. I did try one of the GPS applications but it seemed to have very slow poll and update rate - so not much use for the frenzy of a...
I hope a feature can be added to allow seeing the full SoftRock bandwidth in "SoftRock-IF" mode (something like Softrock-IF-Wide mode). I currently use Skimmer...
In the last 24 hours, we have had 8 "reverse beacons" online, using broadband SDR receivers and VE3NEA's CW Skimmer software to sample what stations are being...
Hi... Before I re-invent the wheel.... Question #1... Is it posible for OmniRig to send (for example) frequency data to "another device", as well as the radio...
Hi Dave, OmniRig is not a program, it is just an engine that a client application can use to change the settings of the radio, and to be notified when those ...
... HI, the problem has been fixed. In the development version 3.20 of wintest the Packet parser has been modified to comply with the CWSkimmer telnet ...
Thanks Alex... Understood, I think... But... I need this to work alongside OmniRig, as that will continue to control the radio, so surely Faros needs to know...
I wonder if this has been implemented? If so, how do you set the exchange number? Great training program, thank you very much Jim/KC4HW ... number ... the...
The reverse beacon network has started to take off. As I write this, we have 10 CW Skimmer reverse beacons active, and 16 have been on the network in the last...
I'm getting some odd results from comparison tests between my SoftRock 20 and the SDR-IQ, used with CW Skimmer. During the YU contest today, over a span of...
I have the RF Space SDR-IQ RX, I downloaded the trial CW Skimmer but I need information on how to connect the Audio I/O. Do I need 2 sound cards installed?...
Hi Joe, You need only one soundcard for audio output, the input is done via the USB connection to the radio. Make sure that you have v.1.1 of CW Skimmer, v.1.0...
Alex Thanks for the reply. I have V1.1 and I think I have everything set as per the help file for the SDR-IQ. I selected the SDR-IQ in the Hdwe type, I've...
Joe, Do not run SpectraVue when CW Skimmer is running in the SDR-IQ mode. Make sure that the dll is registered as described in the Help file. Please send your...
