Hamsoftware reviewAfterhave reviewed more than fifty programs and associated tools, and close to seventyand -oriented programs, we are going to review applications dedicated to radioamateur activities. They include spectrum analyzers,satellite tracking programs, Morse code trainers, DX atlases, CAT, multi-modedecoders, and other logging programs.Allapplications were tested with registered versions and in real working conditions. You willfind additional reviews on.-(c)2001-2004,freeDevelopedby,it is a signal analyzer and multi-mode decoder developed in Finland using an originalgraphic user interface, and powerful DSP functions. To not be intimidated by all itswindows and functions, as soon as you launch the unregisteredversion, the system suggests you to run the built-in demo. Accept itsproposal, because it will show you some 27 scenarii explaining eachfunction of the program and the many decoders able to translate inclear text or image many 'strange' sounds that you can hearon HF or VHF bands.Themain screen is (off-)centered around the 'Configuration Editor'window, in which the user selects and set the required functions (Analysis,Generic decoders, DSP filters, signal generator, RX/TX, etc). Each function calls new windows thatpop up on the screen (IQ Constellation, Signal View, Eye diagram,signal statistics, 2 bit Analyzer, 3D-FFT, Spectrogram, Chat box formode decoding, etc).
SkySweeper Pro provides a high resolution phaseanalyzer (HFFT) up to 262144 point FFT with a frequency resolutionup to 0.04 Hz able to detect any fast periodic signal or a weak signal lost inthe noise. It provides a signal power/amplitude analyzer, FIR filtersand different synchronization methods to decode less commonmodulations like DGPS, MPT-1327 or POCSAG.SkySweeper Pro is able to determineautomatically the signal speed, to lock automatically to the signal,to remove RFI or AC hum from a signal, and to translate most codedmessages transmitted on the air.

Setup Instructions - Communication Programs (SignaLink USB only)Our Technical Support Staff is often asked how to configure various soundcard communication programs for use with the SignaLink USB. While our printed manual hasalways provided general guidelines for doing this, we have never attempted toprovide detailed instructions for any specific program because there are simply toomany, andit's really the responsibility of the end user to learn how to use theparticular program that they are interested in. While we will not betaking on the responsibility of providing support for third party programs(you'll need to contact the program author for that!), we have decided toprovide specific setup instructions for some of the programs thatwe are most often asked about.
You will find setup instructions for these programs listed below. If you do not findthe particular programthat you are interested in, then you will need to see the 'General SetupInstructions' section. The instructions there can be applied to virtuallyany program ifyou just take a little time to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts, aswell as the program'smenu's and Help file.
Please note that we will expand the contents of this page as time allows, butTigertronics is NOT responsible for providing support for any third partysoftware. This information is provided 'as is' for your convenienceonly, and without warranty of any kind. If you need further assistance with any third party program, thenyou will need to contact that program's author, or a related internet forum, oruser group for help. Most of the instructions shown below assume that the communication programyou want to use has already been installed on your computer and is activelyrunning. If you do not know how to download, install, or run software on yourcomputer, then you will need to seek help from a friend. We cannot teachyou how to do this.
Note that our instructions typically cover only those items that directly relate to the operation of the SignaLink.Most programs will also require you to set other parameters such as your Callsign, QTH,etc., so please refer to the program's Help documentation, or an appropriate internetforum if you're not sure what else needs to be configured. IMPORTANT - Configuring the communication program isonly part of the setup process. Please be sure to complete our WindowsSetup instructions when you are done configuring your program. Failure todo this may result in a system that doesn't work properly and/or unwanted andpotentially illegal transmissions.- Look here if your program isn't listed!. Look herefor the new FT8 mode!Every communication program has a 'Setup' or 'Options'type menu where various operating parameters can be selected. The setup menuswithin each program often look different, but the same basic elements orsettings (identified below) exist in all programs. You will need to locateeach of these settings within your program's setup menu and make sure that they areset as noted below.
Please note that if you havechanged other settings in your program that we do not address below, then it'spossible that you may have done something that could prevent the program fromfunctioning even if the items that we cover are set correctly. If yoususpect that this might be an issue, then you should uninstall the program, deletethe program's folder, and then re-install (be sure to first backup any datacreated that you may wish to save). Sound Card Selection - This MUST always be set to theSignaLink's 'USB Audio Codec' sound card, and you will usually need to set both the output/ playback (Transmit)and input / capture (Receive) sound card separately. In Windows Vista/7/8.x/10,the SignaLink USB's sound card is shown as 'Microphone - USB Audio Codec' for theinput / capture (Receive) side, and 'Speakers - USB Audio Code' for theoutput / playback (Transmit) side. NOTE: The latestsound card chipset used in the SignaLink USB is displayed as 'Line - USB AudioCodec' instead of 'Microphone - USB Audio Codec'. Besure to select this as the input / capture / receive sound card if applicable to yourSignaLink.
PTT - This should be set to something like 'VOX', or'External'. The SignaLink NEVER uses a serial port, so you should setany COM Port settings that relate to PTT to 'None', 'COM0','Disabled', or the equivalent.If you are using an old program that doesn't allow you to select this as anoption, then you'll have to select a COM Port that is available on yourcomputer, but not inuse. Note that if you are using a CAT / CIV interface and you have the SignaLinkattached to your radio's rear panel Data or Accy Port, then you must disablePTT by the CAT / CIV interface.
It is OK for the CAT / CIV interface to tune theradio, change modes, etc., but the SignaLink MUST key the radio if it isconnected to the radio's Data or Accy Port or you'll have no transmitaudio. Note also that your radio's VOX setting should always be OFF asit is not needed by the SignaLink. Built-in Output Level Slider or Attenuator - Some communication programs havebuilt-in controls to adjust the transmit audio output level.
For example,most versions of WSJT / WSJT-X have a 'PWR' slider, and some olderversions of DM-780, have an 'Output Attenuator' setting. Thesetypes of controls must be set so that they do NOT lower thetransmit audio output level or the SignaLink's PTT circuit will notwork. This generally requires these types of controls to be set to'0db'. AFSK vs FSK (RTTY / CW) - Virtually all sound card modes use AFSK(Audio Frequency Shift Keying) where the modulating tones are injected intothe radio. However, RTTY and CW programs often support both AFSK andFSK. The SignaLink supports AFSK only, so you will need to configureyour communication program for AFSK operation when running RTTY or CW.This is usually worded as'Send RTTY as tones', 'AFSK RTTY', 'Send CW astones', 'MCW' (modulated CW), 'CW SSB', or somethingsimilar. Note that if you see a COM Port option for RTTY or CW, you donot want to use it, as that would be for FSK only.
CAT / CIV Rig Control - The SignaLink does not provide CAT / CIVrig control butit can be used with a separate CAT / CIV interface if you have one. As noted above, if you havethe SignaLink attached to your radio's Data or Accy Port, then youneed to disable PTT by the CAT / CIV interface or you'll have no transmit power. If the SignaLink is attached toyour radio's Mic jack, then either the SignaLink or the CAT interface can controlPTT. Note that you should not enable CAT / CIV rig control unless youhave a separate CAT / CIV interface cable connected between your computerand radio, or you'll receive a 'Can't connect to radio' typemessage and/or lockup the program. Click the Configure menu and then click Soundcard. In the new window that opens, select 'Computer Sound card' from the Typedrop-down menu.
Note that this selection is for the typeof interface being used. The SignaLink USB has its own built-in soundcard so 'Computer sound card' is the correct type ofinterface. Select 'USB AudioCodec' in both the Input and Output drop-down menus. If usingWindows Vista/7/8.x/10, then you'll need to select 'Microphone - USBAudio Codec' for Input and'Speakers - USB Audio Codec' for Output. Click OK when done.Notes / Tips.

If you are running Windows ME/2000/XP then you should change the Sample Rateshown in the Configure-Soundcard window to 12000 to avoid any possible sample rate offseterrors. The default setting of 11025 is fine for newer versions ofWindows. In the Mode menu, you'll normally want to select'BPSK31'. This is the most common mode forPSK31. As mentioned in the SignaLink USB manual, you can use DigiPan's 'Tune' feature totransmit a steady test tone to aid in adjusting your transmitpower. To do this, click the Mode menu and select Tune. Note that the modulation frequency isdetermined by the location of the red diamond marker in the waterfalldisplay.
If the marker is at the 1000 mark (or xx.xx1Khz mark if youhave DigiPan set to show the band frequency), then you'll transmit a 1Khztone. Click the OK button when done transmitting. As with virtually all digital modes, you'll want to stay within the range ofapproximately 500 Hz to 2500 Hz in the waterfall display, or you'll beoutside of the (typically) radio's audio band pass and signals will be attenuated. This is true for both transmit andreceive. If you get too far out of this range, then your transmitpower will decrease and the receive signal you are trying to decode will beattenuated. Click Setup and select C/S-SoundCard-PTT, then click Soundcard.
In the new window that opens, click on 'USB Audio Codec' inBOTH the RX and TX menus, and then click the 'Assign' button. Ifusing Windows Vista/7/8.x/10, then you'll need to select'Speakers - USB Audio Codec' for TX and 'Microphone - USBAudio Codec' for RX. Click Setup and select C/S-SoundCard-PTT, then click VOX. Note that yourradio's VOX feature should be OFF.
This setting simply allows the SignaLink USB to control PTT. Close EasyPal and restart it so that the setup changes take affect.Initial InstallationNOTE: You can skip this section and go to 'Program Options'below if you have already installed EchoLink for Sysop mode. Select 'Sysop' mode and click Next.
Select your Internet Connection type and click Next. Select 'Direct Controlled' and click Next. Note that the com port selection is not used and will be changed later, so the default (COM1) is fine.
Enter your Callsign and other information, and click Next. Select your geographic location and click Next. Fire Wall Test - You can perform this test now, or do it later if you have connection problems. The initial setup of EchoLink is now complete. Please see the steps below to configure EchoLink to work with the SignaLink.Program Options. Click the 'Tools' menu and select 'Setup'. On the 'Audio' tab, select 'USB Audio Codec' for BOTH the 'Input Device' and the 'OutputDevice'.
If using Windows Vista/7/8.x/10, then you'llneed to select 'Speakers - USB Audio Codec' for the'Output Device' and 'Microphone - USB Audio Codec' forthe 'Input Device'. Enable the '300Hz TX High-Pass Filter' option and click OK when done. Click the 'Tools' menu and select 'Sysop Settings'. On the 'RX Ctrl' tab, select 'VOX'.

Note that you can adjust the VOX threshold with the slider that appears below the Audio Level indicator at the bottom of the EchoLink screen. Audio coming from theEchoLink internet connection will transmitted by the SignaLink when it is above theVOX slider level. On the 'TX Ctrl' tab, select 'External VOX'. On the 'Signals' tab, under 'Tone Burst', select 'Send at the beginning of each TX'. The default frequency is fine,but the duration should be set to 50-100ms.
Note that we are using this 'tone burst' feature to switch the SignaLink into transmit before the voice is passed to the unit for transmission. This will prevent the first part of the voice transmission from being cut-off, which can sometimes happen if audio levels are toolow, or the radio switches to transmit slowly. If you set the tone burst durationproperly (you may need to experiment with it), then the tone willactivate PTT but not actually be transmitted by the radio due to its shortduration. Click OK when done.Notes / Tips. ForEchoLink and other voice modes, we generally suggest that you install special jumper 'JP4'inside the SignaLink USB. This will increase the PTT sensitivity of theunit and improve operation on low level voice signals. You can alsoincrease the Windows 'Wave' or 'Application' control to improve the overall level of the signal and PTT operation.However, this will likely require you to decrease the SignaLink's 'TX' knob to lower the drive to theradio, and you may find that the TX knob is a little 'touchy' toadjust.
EchoLink is one of the more complicated applications supported by theSignaLink. Because of this, we strongly suggest that you confirm thatthe SignaLink is able to Transmit and Receive using DigiPan (or a similar,simple PSK31 program) BEFORE attempting to use EchoLink. If you canreceive PSK31 with DigiPan (or at least see the audio on thewaterfall display) and transmit a steady test tone, then any problems youexperience with EchoLink will likely be due to incorrect EchoLink setup, a problemwith the server connection, or operator error. EchoLink is used with the SignaLink when you cannot be in front of thecomputer/radio system that the SignaLink is attached to. This means that youwill be using a mobile radio/HT to remotely communicate with your baseradio that has the SignaLink and computer attached. If you are goingto be sitting at the computer/radio system that has the SignaLink attached, thenyou would normally use a headset (plugged into the computer's soundcard) totalk through the EchoLink system without using the SignaLink.NOTE: Do NOT use the SetupWizard interface to configure FLdigi.
