VLF BAND TEST on 10101 Hz
20 watt VLF AMP to compact DELTA LOOP ANTENNA
received by a Ferrite rod RX VLF antenna connected directly to this recording laptop's MIC INPUT jack, demodulated from VLF into CW AUDIO by the AD5DZ SDR APPs: LO-MIXER & FILTER modules

brief demo using REAPER as a variable sped CW MIDI FILE PLAYER ...sending a text file that has been converted to a CW MIDI file by a CW TEXT to MIDI converter like Morse Midi or ehoCW
the VARIABLE SPEED on REAPER is excellent and the timing is very accurate at any speed you dial in
the AD5DZ CW KEYER has many CW parameter adjustments,…

There are 11 CW signals to choose from,
each one at a different speed from 61 wpm to 81 wpm.
Use your own SDR APP on your own PC to scan each signal and choose the speed you would like to use for COPY BY EAR practice.
Use a Virtual audio cable as the YouTube browser playback device and set your SDR input to use the same…

this is an experimental test setup to get rid of narrow band CW filter SEA SHELL BACKGROUND HOWLING, and QRQ CW Ringing...
by using a:
1. SIMPLE GATE
2. SIMPLE CW BANDPASS FILTER
the gate silences the "in between" cw element sea shell howling, and ringing, but also causes key clicks...
the following CW BANDPASS…

brief demo of testing a VLF TRANSMITTER and VLF RECEIVER for QRQ CW operations
this is a follow up video to the first two using a VLF RECEIVE - BIPOLAR TESLA COIL with a FERRITE CORE antenna...the Transmitter is a tiny DELTA LOOP(7 foot per side) fed by a 5 watt audio amp…

brief demo showing QUISK SDR and a wire antenna hooked up to the PC's sound card input
- picking up a weak QRQ CW signal on VLF - 18 khz
- by using the AGC on QUISK SDR and sending the QUISK SDR receive audio through the CALF EQ 5 BAND lv2 plugin, the weak signal is brought up significantly to improve copy

brief test of 24 bit VS 32 bit uncompressed audio going from a laptop to a Raspberry pi 2b loopback - and then right back to the laptop over Ethernet cables going through router and switches
32 bit has virtual no variance from the original audio source
24 bit does show a wide berth of harmonics generated at the lowest db…

Brief example of showing the inclusion of an LV2 AUDIO FILTER chain into a Gstreamer PIPELINE
1. to discover what LV2 plugins Gstreamer "picks up" on your system.. run this command gst-inspect-1.0 | more
2. when you find the LV2 you want to incorporate into your Gstreamer pipeline run the inspect command again using the Gstreamer LV2…

Gstreamer encodes and decodes the CW AUDIO using the GSM AUDIO CODEC - plus - one bonus of using Gstreamer for Receiving the TRANSMIT PIPELINE, is that Gstreamer has its own CW AUDIO BANDPASS filter PLUGIN code that you can setup and use...to filter out most of the harsh harmonics, and poor sounding audio of such a low bitrate, low sample rate,…

this setup uses a RASPBERRY PI and its audio output going to the WINDOWS 10 audio input and SSH to bring the PI's AD5DZ CW KEYER's GUI onto the WINDOWS 10 desktop...so you can can have access to the typing screen and all the settings...

This demo shows the AD5DZ CW KEYBOARD sending CW at 60 wpm from a remote OP's location to a RASPBERRY PI 2b which is using the RIG's own sound card as its own sound card in order to send CW on that rig remotely, over ip, using AFCW MODE on LSB. In order to preserve the first bits of the CW ELEMENTS, when using VOICE VOX MODE on the RIG, on LOWER…

every Raised Cosine Window that can be used to form the CW ELEMENT Rise/Fall time edges...sounds just a little bit different at QRQ CW speeds...this test was run at 55 wpm using the Riemann Window, and 3.3 milliseconds was also trimmed off of each element to make it just a tiny bit lighter, thinner sounding, between letters...
