to carry us into the next millenium. The following new features are founded
on that powerful architecture.
. Binaural CW
Binaural CW enables the CW operator to use the powerful combination of his
brain and both his ears to separate CW signals in a panorama with lower
pitch signals to the left and higher pitch signals to the right. This
exclusive feature makes CW listening easier and takes the pile out of
pileups!
. CW Spotlight
The CW spotlight highlights a weak signal to pull it out of surrounding QRM,
and allows a proficient CW operator to monitor nearby CW signals while
staying focused on a particular signal. This unique feature is great for DX
pileups and contests.
. PC-Radio Interface and Filter for PSK-31
PSK-31 and SSTV require connection and matching of a radio's audio
input/output and transmit/receive control line to a computer sound card and
serial port. The DSP-599zx with Version 5.0 firmware performs these tasks
while maintaining the ability to perform its other signal processing tasks.
You can now operate RTTY, PSK31 and SSTV with just the DSP-599zx, a
transceiver, and a computer with appropriate software. No other interface
boxes or multi-mode controllers are required!
This new feature includes an internal reconfiguration of the signal routing
and audio level adjustments in the DSP-599zx that permits the DSP-599zx to
be connected directly to a sound card in a computer.
.Noise Reduction Algorithm Modification
We've tweaked the DSP-599zx's noise reduction algorithm for a better low end
response for SWLers and improved noise reduction over the entire range.
.Morse Code Practice Oscillator
This one wasn't much of technical stretch for our engineers, but our
customers wanted it! Even 5 words per minute takes some practice. Just plug
in your key and start sending!
The manufacturer's suggested retail price for the DSP-599zx Version 5.0
firmware upgrade kit is $59.95.
Timewave is beginning production immediately and will begin shipping the
DSP-599zx Version 5.0 firmware upgrade kit the week of July 17, 2000. Order
now if you want one right away - it may take a few weeks to fill all the
backorders.
Look for a special DSP-599zx to computer cable kit to be announced in the
next few weeks. Although you can connect the DSP-599zx to a computer with
standard cables from Radio Shack, we can save you time and trouble by
offering the cable kit along with your DSP-599zx Upgrade kit. We also offer
custom cables to connnect most transceivers to the DSP-599zx and the
PK-232/DSP and other TNCs.

Subject: Timewave DSP-599zx Upgrade Announcement
The new version 5.0 firmware for the DSP-599zx is shipping now. All back
orders and dealer stock upgrades should be in place by early next week. For
anyone who purchased a DSP-599zx after 01/01/2000, they can contact Timewave
for free upgrades to version 5.0. All dealer stocks will have the upgrade kit
in the box and will be marked with a sticker showing the upgrade is included.
Be sure to ask your salesman.
Version 5.0 provides something for everyone:
Improved noise reduction algorithms for better clarity and wider bandwidth for
SWL and broadcast listeners.
CW ops get two new tools, CW Spotlight for isolating the signal you want to
work, and Binaural CW for copying that signal.
PSK31 and new digital mode ops get new PSK 31 filters, SSTV filters and
PC/RADIO mode used to connect the soundcard audio in and out, along with PTT
to your radio.
CW oscillator mode for practice and as a tool to check out TNCs and keyers.
Tanks for the bandwidth, This reaches hams world wide and in real time.

John,
Can you shed some more light on the PC/RADIO mode.
How do you connect the sound card's audio in and out lines to the
DSP-599zx?? Can you adjust (and attenuate) the audio levels to and from the
sound card?? Does the DSP-599zx provide any audio isolation??

"What is an Amateur licence?
An Amateur licence is issued to authorise a station that:
* is operated for the purposes of self-training in radiocommunications,
intercommunication using radiocommunications and technical
investigation into radiocommunications by persons who do
so solely with a personal aim, and who have no pecuniary interest in
the outcome of the operations of the station;
* is operated on amateur frequencies or amateur frequency bands; and
* may participate in the amateur-satellite service.
The Amateur Service is designed primarily to facilitate hobby
radiocommunications and for technical experimentation and operates
on specified frequency bands. Amateur radio operators communicate via
a number of transmission modes including, but not limited to,
morse code, telephony and data. "
