ROS opens the forgotten band , 5.367 MHz
On a frequency where time delay and phase distortion over
long paths severely disrupt conventional data modes ….
ROS HF-4 , 25 watts to a 35 ft vertical resulted in a surprise
decode from RN6AM ,on a band normally considered closed
during daylight hours to all but NVIS propagation , quickly
followed by spots from Europe and the UK
Not only was this the first ‘LIVE RTTY’ decoded over the Atlantic but at 2134 hours, was a quite unexpected event so early in the night , s/n ranged from -23 to -27 dB giving 100% decode from a ERP of 1 watt .
ROS MF demonstrating good ability to resolve signals with deep and rapid qsb , over 3500 kms path.
With the Remote Operation System you can use a Remote Station tipically via internet (using the Public IP) or via private LAN (using the Private IP) from a Base Station.
This system is also extremely simple and requires no additional audio programs to work. Only install ROS in both computers and run.
REMOTE STATION CONFIGURATION
Select Remote Mode as “Remote Station”. Write a Password twice and select a port. If port is in yellow, port is closed or disabled by a firewall. For Internet Remote Operation you need to open a TCP Port in your Router. For a Private LAN it is not necessary.
If Remote Station uses CAT, you have to select the Operating Bands in the panel. This avoid that Base Station can damage your Rig transmitting in a frequency with a High-SWR. In the example, i have selected 40, 30 and 20 meters according to my dipoles. Now my friend EA5HUK can use my station via remote from his Bus without posibility of transmit on 160 meters and damage the IC-725 (*)
If Remote Station doen’t uses CAT, Base Station only can work in one frequency, obviously.
Remote Switch
This option is useful for activating a relay remotely via the serial port from the Base Station. Their use depends on the imagination of each Ham.
Email button
This button send the Remote Station Configuration to your email (IP, Port and Password) to be easily remembered.
Windows Alert
On Remote Station Mode, Windows will ask you to unlock the program.
Open Ports
For Remote Operation via internet you have to open a TCP Port in your Router. If you dont know how, ask in forums.
BASE STATION CONFIGURATION
Select Remote Mode as “Base Station”. Enter the Password, Port and the Remote Station IP (Public IP in the case of internet). Press connect button and you will be using the Remote Station. In the Base Station is not neccesary open any port.
“And now, on with the opera”
(*) The IC-725 is property of EA5HJY. Thanks also for his contribution.
You can export the QSO in a .adi file or exclusively to HAMLOG.EU, HRDLog.net or eQSL.cc or both….. by clicking in the options.
Now it is possible to change the frequency clicking on this window:
(And congratulations by the -35dB reception in Iceland)
Congratulations!
