I have a ft 847. If I take the transceiver config. for this radio, it doesn’t work.
Switch I to the config for ft 817 or 857 or 897, it works. How is this possible?
11 January, 2011 at 19:49
Henk, you have an email
FT-847 need first a special command to turn on the CAT. So, it is very strange it can work with 817, 857 or 897 that no require that command.
11 January, 2011 at 23:45
It is oke now, the ft 847 works correctly

The CAT operation for the FT847 works just fine using a Rig Expert modem interface. This automaticaly does the rs232 null modem condition. Beware it may require a null modem, crossed 9-pin rs232 to work, for some rigs. These can be bought as a unit or a rs232 plug can be re-wired, quite simple.
Would this program like it to be incorporatedsay, MixW, as a program selection, as for other modes..

in new616(noicons) cat does not work with ic765…
in 503 i could set cat to com4 (usb-cat-cable) and ptt to com1

in 616 the soft says rig not found
and there is no option to set cat and ptt to different com ports like in 603

cat polling does make rfi problems
i have a slight crack-crack.crack.sound in my transmit audio
set poll interval to 1000ms … every second that cracking sound
set to 200 … guess what… every 0.2 second that sound
785 uses 1200 baud but can be switched to 4800 and 9600
didn´t try that yet … maybe different baud does not make that noise …
(or falls out off audio passband)
but for that i have to open the rig and flip some switches
would it be possible to stop polling of usb while transmitting??
only one at start (for the rigs that uses cat for ptt) and the next poll at the end of transmitting…
i have seen that there is another (not needed) poll if you switch from trx to rx
direct when pressing ptt button a second time … that should only be at the end when buffer is empty (so a few seconds later)
if the poll would only be at begin and end there were no rfi noises anymore ….

for the shortcut on desktop i set to be e:afu/ros to be the workfolder but ros ignores that and makes an own folder in drive c …
is that needed by the vista or win64 users or why it is nozt stored where it was befor??? could it not be stored in the rosfolder???

Dear José,
I just read your interesting interview (http://www.dxcoffee.com/ita/2010/09/13/mr-ros-speaks-out-an-exclusive-interview/). Many thanks for providing us with your great mode.
One thing that concerns me as (soon to be) ham with a linux-only system is the unavailability of the source code and/or the mode’s specs (Running ROS in a windows emulation layer such as Wine isn’t a really great option, as running linux programs under windows inside a virtualized linux is, esp. on low-end hardware such as netbooks). I understand your concerns about the challenge to release a moving target, but on the other hand, many open source projects achieve fast progress with shared development.
Anyway, it is your idea and your code, so it’s your decision
Thanks,
Stefan
28 January, 2011 at 21:48
Hi Stefan,
Source Code is no impediment to share development. At least, no more than censorship.

If you don’t install Team Viewer i cannot help you.
30 January, 2011 at 10:42
Hi José,
A small ‘bug’ has crept in with ROS recently with CAT operation.
With the Icom IC-756PROIII I have the mode generally set to USB-D (USB Data) to enable the Accessory Port for digital operation.
On starting ROS with CAT enabled, this mode is reset to USB which then requires the operator to manually change back the mode to USB-D.
For some operators, USB is fine if your SignaLink USB (for example) is connected to the front “Mic” socket, but for those who use the “ACC” ports at the rear of the rig USB-D or its equivilent is needed.
I hope this makes sense!

OK, you are using the old “ROS Install.exe”
You have to use the new “ROS intall.exe” included in the .ZIP file. Be careful how and where are you uncompressing the archives. You’re making a mess with directories

Am using Toshiba P200D with Vista to Yaesu FT747, no vox. And USB to RS232, to TTL converter to CAT. RX, TX, RTS, CTS are available. I cannot get RTS to key (PTT).

Thanks José. Obviously I ran the Install exe and it said installed successfully or something but nothing at all has happened. No icons to click, no uninstall entry to undo anything the install program did can be found. Running the other 2 exe files does nothing, they terminate immediately with no error message or anything. I’m worried that a faulty install program which clearly says installed okay when it isn’t installed at all might also have done other silly things like overwriting my system DLL or OCXs with older versions.

New DECODE Switch for selective decoding.
DECODE to ALL: Decode any message
DECODE to “EA5HVK”: Decode only messages from EA5HVK
decode only FROM ea5hvk or decode only TO ea5hvk ??? what is correct?
so does if the switch is set to on the soft only decodes messages that are to you or from you???
i know that it is for 2 stations to stay “connected” … so far so good …
i guess you send something in the start sequence … ok on that …
but question is does the soft only decodes text from the other station (that i have in the callsign field) …means in start you send the (others)call as “sent from” text …
or does the soft receives only text that is sent to “me” ??? so in start you sent (my) call as “sent to” text???
example: we both have qso (bfc and hvk) …
if we both switch decode switch to on … you sent text to me … now is my soft receiving only FROM hvk or only TO bfc??? (2 different things for sure!!)
i ask cause in the first way nobody else could intrude in our qso … in second way somebody else could say “break pse qrx to bfc (or to hvk .. depends on who the third will speak to)… so question is do you sent the callsign as sent to or sent from text?!?!? (or both?!?)
should be possible for a third station to get into our qso (example: jesus gets to us and wants to say hello to you or to me)

I think you should test it before doing so many questions.
28 July, 2011 at 11:09
Hi
I have found a (very)smalll quirk but it is a little annoying to me
It seems that ROS reacts to keyboard function keys even if it does not have the focus.
So, doing other things while running a ROS beacon in background, every time I press (for example) F5, the STATION macro text is appended to the beacon string.
Sometimes I unintentionally make the beacon text very long!
30 July, 2011 at 22:30
only f1 does work …. and only if focus is on ros
no other f-buttons do work
jose you got mail (subject decode switch)
you send the sendings station call in start … would it not be better to sent the receiving stations call sign in start?
like an adress in packet?
greetz sigi
ps i explained my idea further in direct mail to you that you understand better my thoughts …
31 July, 2011 at 14:26
No, i think it is better like it is now.
2 August, 2011 at 10:25
hello DR.ROS
could you explain why you make it this way???
(ok it is that more stations can share a qrg … right?)
no third station could make a break in a running qso
and i think that is not ok
in the other solution a third could sent a break to one of the 2 stations … way better i think … but we could ask the other users …. so to all ros fans, users , club members:
WHAT DO YOU THINK? … should it be possible if 2 ststions are “linked” for a third station to break in the qso ?

i would like to have a good explanation for that from jose
3 August, 2011 at 02:34
Hello Doctor Sigi
Possibilities and combinations are infinite, but i think is not practical for the system and for ROS users, in the 99.9% of the situations, that a third could break.

I see that the FIX QRG’s are changed in the ROS version 6.6.3. on the 30meterband in 10132, 10133, 10134 but in the region 1 are the bandwitch on those freq. 200Hz and ROS is 500Hz .

8 August, 2011 at 21:08
Yes, and Region 1 is limited to 500Hz from 10140 to 10150 but you can see all kinds of unnattended stations of more than 500Hz, ALE, Pactors…etc…

Hi dr José,
I have installed the last version on my computer but my Cat System is not recognized. My trx is FT840 and my interface CAT is MAX232 on com port 3. For info my rig is: Yaesu FT840, Cat System home made, SignaLink interface, Asus P4 Intel dualcore 3Ghz, 4mb ram

Hello,
Do you have to close others programs that use the CAT
5 September, 2011 at 08:19
Hello José, I am using Elecraft K3 with an external amplifier 6W in 600W out. So I do ROS sometimes with 1-2W Input and get 150W out. I am using CAT. With pwr <5W ROS automatically added /QRP to my callsign. That´s not right, because 150W going out. A software switch (external PA) should solve the problem, that not /QRP is added if pwr of my transceiver is <5W.
73 de Frank, DL2GRF
5 September, 2011 at 14:12
Ok, but Elecraft K3 has until 100W output, amplifier not neccesary.

Hola a todos
Tengo un problema al instalar la version 6.7.3, cuando cliqueo Ros.install me sale un cartel que pone “installed successfully” y cuando le doy al exe de ros para iniciar el programa me pone
“File C:\Users\Usuario\Desktop\jose\Ros\cty.dat not found” utilizo Win7. En Xp no me daba ese problema. Gracias.

Buenas José Alberto, si la clavija esta tanto Rx como TX ya que yo hago Psk31,sstv con HRD y sin nigun problema e incluso cuando estaba con XPpro hacia ROS y fantastico, pero desde que he querido instalarlo en win7 nada mas que cartelitos y es por eso nada más. Gracias

Hello José,
thanks for your good work and efficient software;
I’m using qrp rig Flexradio 1500 (5w) and i didn’t succeed to configure the software to obtain “/qrp” after my call.
The single way i know is to use 5% of the power with APC and 5% of 5w is not to much
What am I missing ?

Tengo un pequeño problema con ROS, ya que el programa pueda conversar con el
Martin PM-SDR de tipo de cambio (sólo setare la función adecuada).
El problema es este, si lanzo directamente ROS
, Esto no es un diálogo con mi Rx-PM SDR (la casilla correspondiente etiqueta se mantiene el rojo (no “la oportunidad de gestionar las frecuencias).
Después de varios intentos descubrí que sólo si inicia por primera vez el software se ejecute ROS Simon “SDR de consola” y luego me voy a lanzar de inmediato ROS, entonces y sólo ahora el diálogo entre ROS y PM SDR-está bien (placa de color verde, entonces vamos y posibilidades “tipo de cambio).
Esto no sucede si el primer lanzamiento “Winrad” o sotware que yo uso para más con mi PM-SDR “HDSDR”.
Parece que hay algún parámetro de la comunicación a través de USB que se establece en el valor en Aceptar para comunicarse con los ROS que sólo “SDR-consola” utiliza.
El problema es que soy un ignorante!
¿Me pueden ayudar a resolver este problema!
Otra pregunta, la banda cambia el PM-SDR recibe la orden de selección del filtro en la?
Gracias de antemano.

24 October, 2011 at 20:49
Hola Jose Alberto.
Veras te comento un problema con tu programa y el Yaesu Ft-2000.
no consigo hacer funcionar el cat con tu programa.
El cat esta configurado: Com6: Cat Ft-2000 Activar RTS y Baudios a 19200.
cuando en tu programa le pincho el menu de Emisora y selecciono CAT.
Le doy Yaesu, y busco Ft-2000, cominza a realizar un scan tu programa pero termina diciendo que no encuentra la emisora.
sin embargo con el Ham Radio de Luxe lo hace a la primera.
Decirte que solamente busco el cat en tu programa con todos los demas programas desactivados y sin usar el puerto com con otros programas, para que no de fallo.
para evitar conflictos entre programas que quieran compartir el cat.
Me puedes decir, que supongo sera un problema de configuracion del programa, ya que no he visto que en ningun sitio pueda ponerse los Baudios a 19200 y activar el RTs en el puerto Com6.
Alguna sugerencia…
Comentarte que el control de ptt con la tarjeta sonido y un pequeño interface funciona correctamente.
pero tengo el problema que no funciona el cat, para llevarme a las frecuencias…
Un saludo.

Hi All,
Not been using ROS for a while, but got back on to 20m with ROS during the last week, with the latest version.
Lots of NEW gimmicks, etc.,
However, can someone please clarify, which frequencies we should or should not be using on 20m.
I note from a quick search of the NET that 14101 and 14107 appear to be used for other modes. Certainly there appears to be lots of complaints from users of other modes, about ROS on these frequencies.
Is this why I’m yet to hear a station on 14107 and can call and call on 14101 with very very few responses, all of which have been kept very short.
14103 and 14105 seem to be quite busy.
Are we avoiding 14101 and 14107 ?
If so, why are these options in the programme ?
Also, are there any other frequencies, on other bands, that I should be avoiding ?
Any clarification would be much appreciated.
73
Dave, G3ZXX.
27 October, 2011 at 13:56
The problem is the same for any frequency.
27 October, 2011 at 17:12
If we could use wider bandwidth , then we could increase the dispersion and reduce the power in each discreet ‘tx’ pulse , to the point , no one would know ‘we’ where transmitting , just merge into the broad band plt noise
30 October, 2011 at 04:16
Why does it take 2 -3 minutes for the program to load in

30 October, 2011 at 19:06
It is a problem searching the COM ports and it is not because of W7, but for your computer.
I dont know the reason.

Thank you for your help last friday but signal weaker than minus 18 db are still mosly “bad crc” labelled.

Hello Jose,
I’m new to ROS, and must congratulate you and friends for this great software.
It has some very nice tools for propagation research, like the bcn mode with report. I’m quite involved in long DX VHF/UHF terrestrial.
I wonder if in next versions, maybe, there would be a possibility to include a free qrg that you can enter on bcn mode. In the mean time, while bcn mode, avoid the 3 min listenning, after rxing a signal on the band.
For more details on our work on tropo here anyone can have a look to http://www.astrorun.com/~fr5dn/
I would really love to try the bcn features in VHF/UHF DX work, and see how it goes.
With best 73 – Phil – FR5DN
5 November, 2011 at 01:01
Hello Phil,
The 3 mins marge is neccesary to give priority to QSOs, but i am sure there is enough QRGs in this moment for all ROS users.
Difficult copy you on 40meters, i have no good reception, but EA5DV copied and others european stations can copy you better. Could you put the bcn on 30meters?
5 November, 2011 at 12:42
Hi All,
I use a TS2000 kenwood and a signalinkusb interface which is ok without modification. However, the cat doesn’t work properly to drive the frequency automatically, i must use the vfo to display the correct frequency on TX/RX. The other functions (PW, AT) are ok but i note the AT is “on” by default at the sofware opening while it is “off” in the ROS window: clicking twice on the tuner button shut down the AT on TX/RX.
5 November, 2011 at 21:07
In theory, at start ROS VFO change to VFOA.
i have sent you an email

Hello Arnaund,
That is because of you are connected to Cluster in other software. Disconnect from Cluster then start ROS.

Because it was taking as reference others software that have a bad measure. So, now is OK.

Christmas 2011 in Madeira (CT3) and ROS
Hi All,
I hope this is of interest to some.
I shall be on Madeira, CT3, AF-014, IM12mp, from the 19th December, through to the 26th December.
I’m taking the FT817 (sorry just the 5 watts) with me and a homebrew portable 1.3m Mag-Loop, for 20m to 10m. Primary activity will be on 17m and 12m.
Activity will be on ROS, Olivia, JT65, and WSPR; and if I really cannot find anyone to have a QSO with, I’ll revert to PSK and 20m …. Hi Hi.
The loop, just about loads up on 30m, so I may give that a try.
If anyone wants to set up skeds, from 2200z on the 19th through to 2200z on the 25th, then please contact me via: ct3g3zxx.mail@gmail.com
I’ll be using the callsign CT3/G3ZXX from IM12mp94nc, which is the Royal Savoy, in Funchal.
If I don’t manage to work you while I’m there, then please have a Happy Christmas and Seasons Greetings to All.

Hi José,
Is a possible implement into the ROS modem theory of Adaptive modulation??
see here:
http://www.nsma.org/conf2009/Staxen_Adaptive%20Modulation.pdf
and here
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/WG1_RL1/TSGR1_17/docs/PDFs/R1-00-1395.pdf
So in my opinion is a possible use the evaluation quality CRC BAD or OK for switching between ROS 8 or ROS 16 etc….
Or another way is a counting bit rate for switching “robust” mode.
Of course on start and end of transmition must be send /receive packet for changing mode of the far radio.
The same theory using RSID (MultiPSK, Fldigi)
73! and Thanks for replay.
Ladislav
19 January, 2012 at 02:54
Hi Ladislav,
It is possible to implement any thing. The question is that i think it is not practical for a QSO mode.
22 January, 2012 at 08:06
Ahoj José Nieto,
Thank you José Nieto, so this high speed data mode is usefull on VHF/UHF/SHF, main reason is a wide band transmition???
This mode will replace Pactor maybe???.
There is more aspects, data speed (rate) , anti-jamming ability
etc.
Sorry, but this is only theory.
Generally, ROS is a perfect developed program and also Opera.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GREAT JOB.
