GB2RS digital trial a sucess

Recently, The Radio Society of Great Britain undertook a trial digital GB2RS news broadcast. They are pleased to announce that this proved to be successful.

An experimental GB2RS digital voice news reading will now take place every Sunday at 2115UTC, until further notice, on 1,992kHz USB using the WinDRM standard. This mode occupies no more than 2.5kHz bandwidth, and is capable of providing high quality audio under reasonable propagation conditions.

If you are running Windows 2000 or XP on you PC should have no trouble downloading the free software from the Internet.

Both the existing GB2RS MT63 USB data and the LSB analogue voice transmissions continue as usual on 80m and 160m.

Please note that upper sideband is the default mode for amateur digital transmissions on all bands, regardless of the analogue voice mode conventions.

More details can be obtained from the GB2RS news manager on 01565 652652.
