IF YOU WANT TO PROCESS A BEACON ON YOUR OWN STATION, THERE ARE TWO SOLUTIONS.... ELECTRONICS (EEPROM memory) OR SOFTWARE.
I WANT TO PRESENT YOU THE SECOND SOLUTION TRUSTED BY A FRENCH HAM RADIO F6DQM.
SIMPLEX is a FREE software which has the capacity to produce in option a full beacon with your computer and your transceiver. In connect mode computer / transceiver can deliver a repeatable message in VOICE fonction (CW) indefinitively.
The caractéristics of your beacon are:
- programing the repeat time of message
- programing 2 messages (1...waiting space....) (2 your beacon message)
- programing in VOICE phoning whatever
audio file you want (CW JT65 PSK RTTY).
So these 3 caractéristics of this software produce a high quality beacon and a lot of things.
It works very well and fun, easy fast and efficiently with you radio in full phone mode (AM, FM, SSB)
ATTENTION: The legislation of a repeater station is specific and different between state countries. Be carrefull before using a beacon and all cases you must provide a declaration act at your state administration.
You can download at this link the free software.
