Centos Digital modes
- Enabling HAM Radio on Centos: This
document is my journey into Linux-assisted HAM radio. It covers
many different topics much like my TrinityOS document and will be
constantly evolving. Here is the index to give you an idea of
what it covers.
- Browse my repository's directory tree to see the individual files. Some of these individual files include files that I get lots of positive comments about like:
- My compact but comprehensive HamShack homepage
- the powerful and flexible packetrig.sh startup script
- My set of bookmarks of fantastic HAM website's I've found
- My GoogleEarth KML file of ploting the NorCal 145.050 unproto packet network - Preview

Repairing an MFJ969 Roller-inductor tuner - My MFJ 969 roller inductor tuner
was having intermittent high SWR issues and thus I was getting S9+40db to S4
signal reports. These pages describe how I diagnosted and fixed the problem...
for now.

US Interface Navigator and Linux - Many HAMs have heard of the
simple and inexpensive SignaLink USB-sound device for HAM radio.
What all HAMs should also learn about is the superior US Interface
Navigator USB sound device. It supports more than just
AFSK modes but it supports FSK modes and WinKeyer CW modes too!
This document fully documents how to bring a Navigator into your
Linux shack!

Grounding:
As with most learning HAMs, there are a few topics that domintate all others
in terms of disagreements between HAMs but few top grounding. Why? Lots of
opinions, different designs work differently for different people, etc. This
fantastic (and huge)
presentation from K9YC covers what you need to know comes with full
diagrams, circuit diagrams, signal plots, etc. Topics include:
