[amsat-bb] Re: BeeSat at 4800 GMSK

[Tom Azlin N4ZPT]

Hi Nate,

I was not aware MixW had MSK in it but still identical to GMSK. Perhaps 
you are thinking of MFSK? In the MixW program there is MSFK16, a 
multitone frequency shift signal, is supported, but not Minimum Shift 
Keying or Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying signals. And also FSK, aka RTTY.

There is work going on to make a sound card 4800 bps 0.5 time-bandwidth 
product GMSK soundcard modems for use in GMSK DV adapters to use with 
D-STAR radios. Perhaps that could be adapted for your purpose?

http://www.qsl.net/kb9mwr/projects/voip/dstar/G4KLX.html seems to 
describe some of the work.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dstar_development/ and 
ttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcrepeatercontroller/ are where I see the 
discussion underway.

Separate discussion is using an external sound card interface like the 
Rigblaster, to connect a computer and radio.
