before upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10...

Hi all, Many of us are using USB to RS232 adaptors, mainly for connecting the station PC to transceivers CAT control, ROTOR controllers, and TNCs were needed. Although it seems that most, if not all, of the software programs work well under Windows 10, and updated drivers can be downloaded for most of the hardware, relatively old USB to RS232 adaptors might have chip sets that are not supported anymore with drivers for above Windows 7 (i.e. Windows 8 and Windows 10). There is a utility to check the chip set version provided by the vendor. It is highly recommended to check before starting the upgrade :) 73, Shamai 4Z1WS

NO-84 _ 14:45 utc 05-10-15
by KO6TZ Bob 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

On the 14:45 utc pass of NO-84 I saw the FM transmitter turned on continuously indicating someone was sending, but there was nothing on the down link except the telemetry at 312 Hz. This went on for many cycles of telemetry. Was someone calling CQ or trying to answer my CQ? If so, try moving your PSK31 signal lower in frequency, and don't forget to update TLE's if you are using the DopplerPSK program. KO6TZ Bob

But the PSK31 downlink is FM on 435.350 where you can hear the waterfall signals and decode them using any PSK31 software.
