<H1>MultiPSK 4.17 released</H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>Patrick F6CTE</STRONG> has released a new version
of the popular Amateur Radio digital modes software
<STRONG>MultiPSK</STRONG></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>He writes:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Hello to all Ham and SWL,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The new release of MultiPSK (4.17) is on my Web site
</FONT><A href="http://f6cte.free.fr/" target=_blank><FONT
face=Tahoma>http://f6cte.free.fr/</FONT></A></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The main mirror site is Earl's, N8KBR:<BR></FONT><A

<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Multipsk associated to Clock are freeware programs but with
functions submitted to a licence (by user key).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The main modifications of MULTIPSK 4.17 are the
following:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>1)</STRONG> Decoding of the COQUELET modes (8 and
13)<BR>These modes are used in HF for professional transmissions. 2 sorts of
Coquelet exist: the "8 tones" (still used) and the "13 tones" (perhaps still
used). This mode is available for licencied copies, only (otherwise, the
decoding is stopped after 5 minutes).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>2)</STRONG> Interface with
PSKReporter<BR>Principle: the SWL or Ham monitoring transmits received data to a
PSKreporter WEB server, either manually or automatically (by Multipsk in direct
or panoramic reception). This server gathers reception records of any digital
mode activity and then make those records available, in near realtime, to
interested parties (typically the amateur who initiates the communication).
Stations are located on a world map.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>All text modes can be reported (included JT65, ALE and
ALE400 soundings and ARQ FAE calls). However in PACKET/PAX/PAX2, the option
(available clicking on the "Options" button) "Only the information on RX and TX
frames" must be unchecked to be able to report to PSKReporter. The "Call ID" can
also be reported.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>For configuration and help about PSKReporter, click on
"PSKReporter" located on the menu top bar.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>3)</STRONG> New macros:<BR>- <COM:command>
permits to send a serial command through the selected main COM port ("Serial
port" menu).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Through this command, it is possible to control such
equipment as TNC or DSP. Attention: Multipsk gives the possibility to send a
command through the serial port but this one must be determined by the user. See
help for details.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>4)</STRONG> Improvements<BR>• Possibility to do a
callsign look-up in DXKeeper,<BR>• Slight improvement of the 4285 and 110A
decoding and SELCAL display,<BR>• Partial decoding of the CCIR 493-4 Selcall
(Australian Selcall) mode. It is an option of the GMDSS DSC mode,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>• Timestamp on each line (for versions under licence): a
timestamp (<12:03:51> for example), will be added at the beginning of each
new line for all text modes (configuration in the "Options" menu of the "RX/TX"
screen),<BR>• Possibility to control a TNC (or another exterior equipement) with
COM and EXEC macros in 4 phases: TNC initialization, at RX to TX switchover, at
TX to RX switchover, at the TNC end of service (configuration in the "Options"
menu of the "RX/TX" screen),<BR>• Possibility of QSO recording in a TCP/IP
client logbook (configuration in "Your logbook" of the "Configuration" screen
and with the "TCP/IP" button of the "RX/TX" screen),<BR><BR>• Digitalk (thanks
to Skip KH6TY), through a TCP/IP link with Multipsk, permits to pronounce (in an
English way) all the decoded text. It is aimed to blind Hams and SWL
(configuration in the "Options" menu of the "RX/TX" screen). The PC must be a
XP.<BR>• For blind Hams and SWL, possibility to search transmissions (PSK31,
RTTY...) on the waterfall with the "<--" and "-->" keys (configuration in
the "Options" menu of the "RX/TX" screen),<BR>• Possibility of pause of the text
transmission, by double-clicking on the transmission window (second one), then
resumption with a simple-clicking,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>• New function "Auto RX" to switch automatically in
reception as soon as the transmission buffer is empty (for Hellschreiber mainly,
but also for PSK31...),<BR>• Colors for the panoramic (characters and
background) can be freely chosen ("Fonts" button),<BR>• Improvement of the
selection of the modes detected by RS ID,<BR>• SdR: possibility to transmit in
base band and to select one among 12HF frequencies.</FONT></P>
