Re: Ham Radio Integrator will no longer be free.


 

Charles Brain is a DSP Guru God, and a very nice person. I have communicated with him a few times this year.

Charles Brain has given me written permission to use his m110 software code. Took much work to get the transmit code to work, as its original purpose was an RX only product, and the TX code was only intended for testing.

This is the same Brain code Steve started with a decade ago, and Steve's DMT is still a mess, crashing randomly, can't handle long messages,etc.. I found DMT works better at higher speeds compared to slower speeds indicating big problems. Steve really tries hard, but I do not think he is a software professional. I think distributing software with many huge problems was a major disservice to MARS.

My "TheModem" has been tested by MARS members who own expensive hardware M110A, and their conclusion was it is a very good software modem fully compatible with MARS encryption software using M110 or MT63.

I will see if MARS members will pay $25 per year for my TheModem software rather than spend $2000 for the lowest priced hardware modem. Or they might continue suffering with DMT.

Maybe Chiefs Army and AF MARS will get the military to buy all members a license? It's really not much for the organization to spend.

If TheModem sells well, I am thinking of ALE as my next project primarily for MARS use.

P.S. Doug, a few years ago I decided to stop doing blue collar work. I refuse to work a full-time job and still take money out of savings each month. I prefer to live poor, until social security payments begin.

Sorry to hear Howard. Too bad my HD with my ham software crashed 2 weeks ago. My
backup image was bad to boot!

Hopefully someone in the IT field will recognize your talents and hire you. You
are an excellent programmer!!!

I know what you mean about folks staying here in the country, I deal with that on
a daily basis with my job in IT field. Luckily I'm employed with a municipality
in the public safety field.
Charles Brain also charges for his software, HFDL. With the amount of time you
spent on HRI, I think you are on the right track to charge for it.
