New v1.1.7 ROM for packet tnc. - Advance info.
New v1.1.7 of AX25L2V2 EPROM TNC firmware is on beta test; release is
imminent, and features include:
TRUE CWID It is recognised that the v1.1.6 implementation of morse
identification produced AFSK modulating tones, and not true CW. v1.1.7
corrects this by inhibiting audio output during 4wpm morse keying of the
PTT line: lower speed allows use of this feature by a much larger body
of listeners. The CWIDTEXT buffer is expanded to 4096 bytes, giving room
for complete location & station description to be sent using real CW.
SPEECH ID allows users to implement the ITU/DTI option of station
identification by speech as well as morse. v1.1.7 ROM contains a speech
synthesiser generating callsign ID using a new phonetic alphabet espec-
ially developed to avoid confusion. See the appendix to this bulletin.
BUILT-IN NODE: NET/ROM and TheNet compatible allowing every public-
spirited packeteer the opportunity afforded by the new UK licence to
run his or her own node. So as to better keep up with the constantly-
changing route map, NODES broadcasts occur every 5 minutes, and accom-
modate 16384 entries.
BETTER BUGS In contrast to v1.1.6 which had whizz-kid bug hunters
sending out bulletins within a few days of its release, v1.1.7 features
much more elusive bugs, activated occasionally by the TNC's random numb-
ers generator. These include CVINF (Computer Virus Infect) which adds
segments of extra code within executable files transfered when the TNC
is in TRANSPARENT mode.
BULLITEN CONFORMITY A CHEKKER WHICH IS THE INVERSE OF A WORD PROC
ESSOR SPELING AND PUNKTUASHUN CHEKKER AND THIS MAKES SURE THAT YOUR
BULLITENS LOOK LIKE EVRYBODY ELSES BULLITENS AND THIS INCLUDES
**SUBJECT EXPANDER** TO ENSURE BULLITEN SUBJECTS GO OFF THE EDGE OF THE SCRE
Send your (serious!) suggestions for 1.1.7 to TAPR @ TUCSON BBS
and NOT to GU3MBS @ GB7GUR! 73, Steve
APPENDIX v1.1.7 will use the following in its SPEECH ID facility:
THE GUERNSEY PHONETIC ALPHABET
Most amateurs will be aware of confusion on the bands caused by all the
different phonetic alphabets in use. Attempts by bodies such as the Inter-
national Telecommunications Union to impose a uniform alphabet have come
to nothing, and the alphabet suggested by the UK license is widely ignored.
The time has come for the confusion to end, and for Guernsey to lead the
World in the adoption of a new and better alphabet !!
