    Hi again folks.

    I came across a piece of software which some of you may find very interesting.
    Here is a description, and the link of the software will follow.

    Description: Ham Radio Software Transceiver

    What is so great about this Ham Radio Software Transceiver?
    No extra hardware needed, just your PC, a microphone, speakers and you are ready to call CQ on the virtual Ham Radio bands. Once you have installed this Ham Radio Software you will be able to communicate with thousands of Amateur Radio operators and radio enthusiasts from over 200 countries around the world.
    Both Voice (Double Sideband) and CW (Morse code) is supported. The software works in Windows, Linux and Mac or any other Java driven system. HamSphere can be used by licensed Amateur Radio operators and unlicensed radio enthusiasts. Features of the Ham Radio Software Tranceiver
    The Ham Radio Software Transmitter virtual output is adjustable between 10 watts and 2.5 kilowatts. HamSphere covers 11 virtual Ham Radio Bands between 160m and 6m. The system does not emit any RF so it is 100% safe to operate in any country. You can also use the built in 48m Broadcast band to create your own shortwave radio station.

    * Modes: DSB (Double side band modulation) and CW (built in keyer)
    * Filters: 700hz in CW, 2.4kHz and 3.8 kHz in DSB.
    * AGC: Fast and slow
    * 6, 10, 11, 15, 17, 20, 30, 40, 48, 80, 160m bands.
    * Band span: Usable bandwidth for each band is 96 kHz.
    * Power: Adjustable between 10 to 2.5 kW.
    * Simulation on/off (Turn off shortwave reality mode and use as a 2m like transceiver)
    * VFO and memory mode (9 memories)
    * DX Cluster

    Amateur Radio simplified
    You probably know what the Amateur Radio hobby normally requires such as big aerials, antenna permits, expensive hardware and an abundance of sun spots. Perhaps you live in a block of flats where Amateur Radio is impossible. Well, this Ham Radio software will get you the real Amateur Radio feeling without those things. You will be able to work that DX country on the other side of the world that you always dreamt of working.

    Enjoy!

    Hi The Outlaw.

    Hmmm, Echolink, I don't think I ever heard of it. What is it?

    Cheers.

    EchoLink is a way of using your computer/iPhone etc.. to use HAM radio connected nodes around the globe over a form of VOIP.
    check it out here: http://www.echolink.org

    It's OK but I prefer IRLP or the Internet Radio Linking Project for VOIP between nodes. It uses a different codec and seems to have a much better
    audio quality than the Echolink codec.
