It’s an interesting story. I had never heard of it before I ran into this guy at a flea market. He had manufactured these cool little fixed-frequency transmitters, and he said they were intended to be used with JS8CALL, being set to that 3.580 color burst frequency. I tried many times to get things working but they didn’t do anything! After SO MUCH trial and error, we determined that the JS8CALL program could not even bring up the audio interface correctly, nor send or receive any data through it. Not with these little guys, or my big HF radio which I know works reliably. Just bizarre man. I haven’t given it a go since.
had to look up the 3.580 color burst, very interesting.
Hmmm that sounds like a problem with the audio interfaces, maybe a adapter issue.
I have used JS8call with CB radio a bunch and it worked rather flawless, but i use a external vox trigger in the adapter instead of interfacing the radio over serial.
