The recent post from KE8AKW Nick, plus previous posts from WB4APR Bob got me thinking... just what would be required to transmit PSK-31 to NO-84?
In the Amateur Radio world, I'm sure that I'm in the minority, but I don't even OWN an HF rig. My primary interests are the higher frequencies, including satellite telemetry and the other various data modes. Practically the only time I transmit a signal is packet to the ISS. I'm much more active with SDR's and a computer than I am with conventional radios.
But all the data modes interest me, and perhaps others. If someone would be kind enough to list what hardware might be required for the transmit side of NO-84's PSK-31 capability, it sure would be appreciated. (low-cost options preferred!)
Dear Scott,
I have yet to try to work NO-84, so hopefully others can provide better impressions of the uplink power and antenna needed.
One thing that you might want to consider is getting a 10m-only transceiver. There are several inexpensive ones from Chinese manufacturers, such as the Anytone AT-5555. These will cost around 100$-150$ and put out up to 20W or so. Definitely an option to consider, because the cheapest all-band HF tranceiver now is probably the FT-817ND, with a considerably higher price tag, and it will put out only 5W.
