A "warbling" or "purring" sound, 14070 +/- a couple of kHz. The
sound lasts for some time, it doesn't come in brief bursts
the way packet does.

Check the web pages (others have posted pointers) for software,
other frequencies, sample audio, and so on.

The sound is like an unstabel carrier varing a few HZ.  The
transmissions usually last several minuters as the 'tone' is sent the
whole time a station is typing out a transmission.  Look for a program
(free) called Digipan.  You can set your receiver to 14.070 mhz and as
you see the yellow bands appearing in the blue (normal colors, but may
be differant) background , move your mouse pointer on the yellow and
click on it.  That is the audio offset frequency of the tone.  If setup
properly, you will also have set the correct tone of the transmitter.
The tuning is critical and best to just  put the receiver in the general
area and tune with the mouse.  YOu should be in the USB mode.

Subject: A couple of basic questions re PSK31

Actually for most PSK31 QSOs, it does NOT matter what sideband you use.  The
BPSK mode of PSK31 is sideband independent.

But the sideband is important if you operate the QPSK mode of PSK31 which is
fairly rare due to the critical tuning involved.  MOST Hams use USB for the
QPSK mode of PSK31.

If you rig can only operate in LSB in the DATA mode, then make sure you
select "use INVERTED QPSK" in the OPTIONS screen of the software.  Then, if
you ever make a QPSK QSO everyone else will be able to copy you and you will
be able to copy them.

PSK31 is best described as a warble like sound

Anything recent on the AEA DSP-232?  I have one (long story) and it is now
gathering dust.  Never could make it work very well on packet.  It seems to
be an orphan at this point.

Check out:

http://www.timewave.com

They bought out AEA, sold off the DSP-232's they had in stock due to design
flaws but they also were able to come up with a new firmware chip, version
7.2,
I believe which makes this machine usable for some things.  They also have a
resistor modification to increase sensitivity.  Check out their website or
even
give them a call.  They are pretty friendly & helpful.  My DSP-232 works great
for HF RTTY.  

Good luck & 73's,

Subject: AGW Packet Engine with HTTP interface

Hi

I have just uploaded a new,experimental version, 2000.63.
This version has a build in http interface that allow you,for the moment, to
use your web browser to monitor the packet traffic. Soon you will be able to
do packet also(connect,chat,yapp etc)

Subject: DRSI  2

I have a receive fault on my PCPA type 2 (DRSI) card. Port 1 works
perfectly. The fault is on port 0. TX works ok but even though the RX LED
lights there is no RX data to the PC.

I have tried the loop-back tests, using the THS program, with the same
result. I have also tried adjusting the RX sensetivety with no effect.

I have tried to find Siskin, who serviced these units in the past, with no
success. DRSI no longer support amateur equipment.

I would appreciate any information on this TNC,  likely cause and fix,
