Why such automatic recognition abilities are not already incorporated in rig control and digital signal software such as HRD or Fldigi, is beyond me. This goes far beyond RSID (as I understand it) for which one must already know the mode - and be actively receiving it - in order to benefit from it. Such an application would have a very wide appeal to a large SDR user and Ham Radio audience, indeed, ham radio digital operation will not be complete without such software ability. We need this software ability available for the Mac OS X platform. And for new and young hams this would go a long way to removing obstacles.ĭoes such software already exist? Does it have a Mac OS X version?
For me this is a crucial requirement in order to enable me to effectively use FLdigi, HR Deluxe or any other digital mode amateur radio program. It seems to me that what I needed is software with the ability to "recognize" a received signal and automatically identify what mode is being sent and then (give option to) switch to that mode for RX/TX. I would spend hours over days going back and forth with signal identification web pages and wikis, hearing audio clips of the different modes and then switching from one possibility to another with almost complete lack of success. Very often I could not recognize either the waterfall display or the audio tone configurations, despite being a musician with perfect pitch. In using Fldigi on my Macbook Pro it became obvious to me that what bogged everything down was that it was left up to me to identify received digital signals from among the many possibilities, and then to choose the correct mode in the software to enable reception. Ive been a ham for 56 years and have recently become interested in digital modes and CAT.
