Latest new & things

New TLE of Aenaes (and friends) from DK3WN makes collection a lot easier. These are a couple of packets I just received:

APRS: KE6YFA-1>CQ,TELEM:4341455255531D0040020008090B020D072837050000001000F075000070130049C08F13411D4F
APRS: KE6YFA-1>CQ,TELEM:4341455255531D0040020008090B020D080037050000001000F075000070130049C08F1341D581

Which means that the port to GnuRadio 3.7 now seems to work - it took a lot of effort due to the relocation of a whole bunch of classes from one module to another (and also some bugs the GnuRadio maintainers introduced on the way). So after a week of effort I'm back to where I was with version 3.6, and don't really have anything more to show for it! Ho hum.

I did order some better crystals for my RTLSDR receivers - although as they're at 14.4MHz I need to do some more work in order to get them usable - but it should cure the really crap frequency drift I see with the recent received I purchased.

I've just ordered a Rigol DS1052E oscilloscope - I'm not expecting much, but it should take some of the guess work out of some of the things I do! Now I just have to win the lottery and I can get that VNA I need!

I now have some test data (from HO-68) which I can use to evaluate the new CW mode in MultimonNG.
