Is SignaLink USB A TNC?
Is SignaLink USB A TNC?
Configuration for HF Winmor digital communication will be described in a future page. The Winmor mode requires a TNC like the SignaLink USB, a stand-alone soundcard modem, a computer sound card hookup.
How do you use SignaLink?
First, you will configure it for use with your radio by installing one of our optional Plug & Play Jumper Modules, or the supplied jumper wires inside the unit. Next, you will connect the SignaLink USB to your radio and then to your computer’s USB port which will automatically start the driver installation.
What frequency is psk31 on?
PSK31 Frequencies
| Frequency | Amateur Band |
|---|---|
| 7.040 MHz* | 40 meter (regions 1) |
| 7.070 MHz* | 40 meter (regions 2) |
| 10.142 MHz | 30 meter |

What is a SignaLink USB used for?
The SignaLink USB – with it’s own built-in sound chip- allows you to use your computer’s sound card for other computer functions, while enjoying digital communications. No more “You’ve got mail!” or other computer sounds in the middle of your transmission!
Is PSK31 USB or LSB?
PSK31 operators generally use upper sideband (USB), even on frequencies below 10 MHz where the convention normally calls for lower sideband.
What mode is PSK31?
Make sure your radio is set to SSB mode on the upper sideband (USB). Your will not have to change frequencies after that, since PSK31 signals are so narrow (31 Hz), all the transmissions will be picked up by the receiver without changing frequencies.
What does a rig blaster do?
A RIGblaster is the easiest way to properly connect your radio to a computer so that you may operate using over 100 existing and future ham radio sound card software programs. You will be able to operate any sound-card based digital mode that your radio could not otherwise operate.
What is the ideal bandwidth of a PSK31 signal?
approximately 60 Hz
PSK31 is a digital communications mode which is intended for live keyboard-to-keyboard conversations, similar to radioteletype. Its data rate is 31.25 bauds (about 50 word-per-minute), and its narrow bandwidth (approximately 60 Hz at -26 dB) reduces its susceptibility to noise.
What do I need for PSK31?
To get started sending and receiving PSK31, you’ll need an HF rig, a computer, and a way to connect the two. Typically, this will be done using an interface, such as the one pictured below. This sits between the PC and the radio, and handles the audio, tuning the radio, and setting the radio into transmit.
Does PSK31 have error correction?
PSK31 is a digital communications mode which is intended for live keyboard-to-keyboard conversations, similar to radioteletype. PSK31’s ITU emission designator is 60H0J2B. It uses BPSK modulation without error correction or QPSK modulation with error correction (convolutional encoding and Viterbi decoding).
How do I power the signalink USB?
SignaLink USB Users – The SignaLink USB is always powered by the computer’s USB jack. When installing the jumpers for the SignaLink USB using the settings shown here and in our other documentation,please disregard the PWR jumper(do NOT install it!).
What kind of jumper wires do I need for signalink?
The actual jumper wires that are included with the SignaLink are all the same color and can be used to jumper any signal. RJ-45 Mic Connectors- There is a lack of standardization in the way that radio manufacturers number their RJ-45 Mic connectors.
Where is the shorting jumper on the signalink?
This is a simple push-on shorting jumper located behind the SignaLink’s TX potentiometer and marked “JP3” (see the above link or the SignaLink manual for a picture of the circuit board showing this jumper).
How do I connect my radio to my signalink?
If Receive Audio is not shown in the jumper settings for your radio, then consult your radio manual to see if it is available. If it is not, then you will need to connect an audio cable between your radio’s External Speaker or headphone jack, and the “Speaker” jack on the back of the SignaLink.
