Digital Blue Sound Cards & Media Devices Driver
By adding option cards to the Si range of digital consoles, you can interface your desk with a multitude of analogue and digital systems, whilst expanding I/O count beyond that of the standard console configuration.
Routing to and from the option cards is achieved via the 'Patching' functionality on the console. Further cards are always in development and will provide various solutions for interfacing onto emerging networks or devices.
The number of option cards that may be fitted varies by product model, as follows:
The Ins and Outs of PC Audio Jack Colors In many cards, the microphone connector will be pink, the line out or headphone will be lime green, and the stereo line in will be light blue. Additional jacks may be present on newer soundcards for rear and mid surround speakers. There is a widely accepted color standard for computer sound card input.

Title | Description |
---|---|
BR-universal-Filt | Real time DSP filter particularly for applications of amateur radios IIR, FIR filter, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass filter, band suppressor (notch filter) individually adjustable noise filter, irregular signal filter, hum filter, peak filter frequency tuning and inverting mixer support support of several soundcards (also virtual soundcards) e.g VAC Virtual Audio Cable small file size simple to use multiple language support |
MM-DSP Filter | By JE3HHT - Makoto Mori DSP filter with Windows and Soundcard Win95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista & Win7 (Seems to run on Windows 10, but vendor has not tested.) |
RoMac 10 Band Equalizer 2012 | The RoMac 10 Band Equalizer 2012 coupled with your present computer's soundcard, affords you the finest Windows based digital equalizer made for the Amateur Radio community. Using professional techniques such as audio equalization will enhance the audio quality of your signal. The RoMac 10 Band Equalizer 2012 is like having a full featured audio studio in one package. |
Spectran V2 | Spectran is a program to do real time or deferred spectral analysis / waterfall display, in addition to real time audio filtering (band pass, denoising, band reject and CW peaking) of audio signals, using the PC sound card to digitize the input analog signal, or taking as input a WAV file. Its characteristics are well suited to dig weak signals buried into noise, thanks to a selectable bin size down to 21 millihertz. On the opposite site, it can visualize normal CW signals, resolving individual dots and dashes (with a reasonably fast PC). |
Audio Spectrum Analyzer ('Spectrum Lab') | This program started as a simple FFT program running under DOS a long time ago, but it is now a specialized audio analyzer, filter, frequency converter, hum filter, data logger etc |
Voice Shaper | Voice Shaper is a speech pre-processor for SSB transceivers. It receives the voice signal from the microphone connected to the soundcard, and sends the processed audio back to the soundcard in real time. The following processing functions are implemented in the program: Bandpass filter; 7-band equalizer; Noise gate; Compressor; RF envelope clipper. The configuration procedure of the DSP functions is interactive: the program records your voice, then it plays the recording back through the processor and allows you to adjust the settings and immediately hear the effect of your changes. Real-time spectrum and histogram displays provide the insight into the processor operation and make the configuration process even easier. |

CW Skimmer | Multi-channel CW decoder and analyzer for Windows |
CwGet | A program to decode morse code (CW) via sound card to text. It can work as narrow-band sound DSP-filter also. No additional hardware required - you need only receiver and computer with a sound card. Can integrate with AALog logger. It is a software morse decoder that really work! |
CwType | The terminal program for CW-operators. You can transmit both from the keyboard and from a paddle connected to game or LPT ports. You can also operate in paddle iambic mode. Control of the transceiver (PTT and CW keying) is made through one of the COM or LPT ports. CwType can integrate with AALog software. |
G4FON Koch Morse Trainer | When I returned to Amateur Radio my CW was decidedly rusty. What I felt I needed was a CW Trainer to get my speed back. I looked around the Web and found an article by Dave Finley N1IRZ on a method of CW training developed by a German psychologist called Ludwig Koch back in the 1930's. Reading though Dave's article, I decided that it all made a lot of sense. Basically you start off learning the code at the speed you would like to achieve. Unlike the Farnsworth method which seeks to reduce the gap between the letters as you become more efficient, Koch came up with the idea that you should start off just learning two letters at full speed and add an additional letter once you reach 90% proficiency until you have mastered them all. Since you are only learning one new letter or figure at a time, your frustration is significantly reduced. Dave Finley gave a suggested order for learning the letters and figures and recommended a programme called Super Morse to use as a trainer. I quickly realised that Super Morse offered more features than were required to learn Morse by the Koch method and decided to write my own programme orientated towards the Koch method. |
Morse Runner | Contest simulator for Windows |
MRP40 | MRP40 is a powerful and highly-effective ham radio software program that decodes received CW audio that has been fed to a computer's sound card. The decoded text is displayed on the computer's monitor. For transmitting CW, the program encodes keystrokes from the computer's keyboard. Hams use MRP40 to send and read QRQ (high-speed) CW, to help read weak DX signals, and to improve CW contest scores.... With MRP40 you are number one on the air! ... |
RoMac CW ID | RoMac Software's Automatic CW identifier and Tuning Pulser utilizes your present computer's sound card to automatically send your callsign at preset intervals, to insure your stations compliance with FCC regulations. Also incorporated is a Tuning Pulser aka Pecker, to aid in reducing stress and heat while tuning your amplifier, antenna tuner, etc. |

PC ALE | PCALE software is an ALE software controller for PC computers. |
ChromaPIX | The ChromaPIX concept is to develop a high-performance SSTV workstation system, that exploits the newest DSP, imaging, and operating-system technologies. Although the program is not 'feature-crippled' or date-limited, unregistered copies are time-limited to 30 minutes of operation per session. |
MMSSTV | MMSSTV By JE3HHT - Makoto Mori Slow Scan TV with Windows and Soundcard. For WinXP - Vista - Win7 (Seems to run on Windows 10, but vendor has not tested.) |
SSTV Tools | This program generates SSTV audio signals from a bitmap and saves them in a WAV or MMV file. Multiple SSTV formats and sampling rates are supported. The software can generate either a clean signal suitable for transmission, or a signal contaminated with noise, suffering from QSB, etc. - much like in Morse Runner, but with all effects carefully calibrated and measured in dB, Hz, and ms. What it is good for Create pre-canned SSTV messages, such as 'CQ' or '73 DE', and transmit them without any SSTV software, just by playing the audio back in a media player. Test your SSTV receiving software and see how tolerant it is to the noise, soundcard calibraion errors, receiver frequency offset, etc. Compare different receiving programs quantitatively. How to use it Specify the bitmap and output file name, set other parameters, and click on the Generate button. Use only the 320x256, 24-bit BMP files. Tick the Distort The Signal check box to enable the distortion controls. If you enable QSB, add some noise as well. The signal is supposed to go below the noise during the QSB nulls. To model selective fading, use the Multipath option, set a short delay of 1-2 ms and an amplitude ratio of 0 dB. To model echo, use the Multipath option as well, but set a longer delay and a lower amplitude. |
DIGTRX | Digital SSTV software for sound card. |
EasyPal | I don't intend to waffle on about Easypal... what I do want to say is that it is currently the 'Bee's Knees' of Digital SSTV (Slow Scan TeleVision) programs for the PC ! Easypal is being updated all the time... it is currently still in BETA Stage but well worth trying it out. More features are being added... Efficiency Improved.. and users taking up this facet of the Hobby are increasing daily. You will need an interface to connect your PC Soundcard and Transceiver. |
KG-STV | Experimental program to transfer digital images and texts by JJ0OBZ. |
QSSTV | QSSTV 9 is a program for receiving and transmitting SSTV and HAMDRM (sometimes called DSSTV). It is compatible with most of MMSSTV and EasyPal. |
FDMDV - Frequency Division Multiplex Digital Voice | FDMDV is the latest digital voice mode on HF - it caters to high quality digital voice under poor band conditions, in only 1100Hz bandwidth!. |
FreeDV: Digital Voice for HF | FreeDV is a GUI application for Windows, Linux and MacOS (BSD and Android in development) that allows any SSB radio to be used for low bit rate digital voice. Speech is compressed down to 700-1600 bit/s then modulated onto a 1.25 kHz wide signal comprised of 16 QPSK carriers which is sent to the Mic input of a SSB radio. The signal is received by an SSB radio, then demodulated and decoded by FreeDV. FreeDV 700(B) rivals SSB in it's low SNR performance. At high SNRs FreeDV 1600 sounds like FM, with no annoying analog HF radio noise. FreeDV was built by an international team of Radio Amateurs working together on coding, design, user interface and testing. FreeDV is open source software, released under the GNU Public License version 2.1. The FDMDV modem and Codec 2 Speech codec used in FreeDV are also open source. |
WinDRM - HF Digital Radio Mondiale | WinDRM is the hottest digital mode on HF today! Nothing else exists where you can transfer data at almost 1KB/s without using proprietary hardware! |
IZ8BLY Hellschreiber | For many years Hell-writing (which is a type of simple facsimile developed in 1927) has been considered to be no more than an oddity by the Amateur community, in fact most hams have never heard of Hellschreiber. It was however a simple mode, that offered very good performance in noisy conditions without requiring much power, if only you could find the equipment! Now however, with Digital Signal Processing techniques and very good Windows software, the Amateur Radio fraternity is offered the opportunity to experience an advanced digital mode that requires no apologies for its performance. Hellschreiber can outperform other modes for DX, and requires nothing more than a CW or SSB rig and a PC with a sound card. If you operate PSK31, you can also operate Hell, and what is more, make contacts that are not always possible with PSK31 due to poor conditions. Operation is simple, slick, easy to tune, and ideal for QSOs and nets. Because of the unique nature of Hellschreiber, you actually see an actual replica of the transmitted signal, so the font used, bold or italic, is faithfully reproduced. Noise adds fuzziness to the received text, but cannot cause incorrect characters to print. |
G3PPT's SlowFeld | Slowfeld - An Experimental Slow Speed Hellschreiber Program by G3PPT |
HF Pager | A program intended for short text messages exchanging over HF radio using IFSK modulation (Incremental Frequency Shift Keying). No additional hardware is required. You only need a transceiver and computer with a sound card. A simple circuit for PTT-control can be used. |
WSJT-X | WSJT-X implements communication protocols or 'modes' called FT8, JT4, JT9, JT65, QRA64, ISCAT, MSK144, and WSPR, as well as one called Echo for detecting and measuring your own radio signals reflected from the Moon. These modes were all designed for making reliable, confirmed QSOs under extreme weak-signal conditions. |
WSJT-X | WSJT-X implements communication protocols or 'modes' called FT8, JT4, JT9, JT65, QRA64, ISCAT, MSK144, and WSPR, as well as one called Echo for detecting and measuring your own radio signals reflected from the Moon. These modes were all designed for making reliable, confirmed QSOs under extreme weak-signal conditions. |
MF TeleType | MF TeleType is a Soundcard based audio data Modem which does encode / decode TeleType signals based on the well known and very reliable DTMF (dual-tone, multi-frequency) system. |
ZL2AFP CMSK | MSK (Minimum Shift Keying) is very similar to PSK, but instead of changing the phase to signal the data bits, the frequency is advanced or retarded a very small amount (exactly half the symbol rate), sufficient to exactly achieve a 180 degree phase shift in one bit period. Because the resulting phase change is produced smoothly, without any sudden changes in phase, the signal does not require raised cosine (amplitude) modulation or other means of spectrum management. For PSK modes, such modulation must be employed to drop the output to zero at the phase change, in order to reduce the keying sidebands. The MSK spectrum is very similar to PSK, but the phase relationship between the carrier and the data is different. MSK is little used on HF, but has been widely used on LF, notably (at 100 baud and 200 baud) for DGPS beacons, and (at 50 baud and 100 baud) for VLF submarine communications. The HUGE advantage of MSK over PSK is that because there is no amplitude information on the signal, the transmitting amplifier need not be linear. The transmitter duty cycle is always 100%, not reduced by the AM modulation, so the average signal strength is greater. In other respects the mode is similar to PSK, and in fact the same receiver demodulator can be used, although a different means of recovering symbol sync is required. |
DominoEXFEC | This is a computer program for Amateur Radio transmission and reception using a computer and HF radio transceiver. The program provides computer chat-mode operation on the HF bands, using a sound card technique to generate and modulate for transmission using tones at audio frequency, and receive and decode the incoming signals, also at audio frequency. An SSB transceiver translates these signals to and from the HF Amateur Bands. The DominoEX mode is a development from earlier experimental DominoF and DominoG programs, but is not compatible with them. This version (DominoEXFEC V2.0) is compatible with earlier ZL2AFP DominoEX versions, and also with MULTIPSK, with and without FEC. DominoEX operates using a variation of the MFSK technique (MFSK = Multiple Frequency Shift Keying), since MFSK offers very good immunity to interference and ionospheric effects, and is also very sensitive. However, MFSK can be quite difficult to tune in, and suffers from some interference effects, which are usually masked by using error correction. This unique program addresses these limitations in a special way that wipes away all problems. DominoEX is easy to use, and hence ideal for beginners. You will be impressed with the performance! |
FSQcall | FSQ is a Fast Simple QSO mode designed specifically for HF. It works well under NVIS and sunrise/sunset conditions on the lower bands, and also works well for short skip and grey-line on higher bands. It can also be used on VHF FM, and clearly has a much wider useful range of operating conditions that other more conventional digital modes. FSQ transmission is also well within the capability of micro-controller based devices for low-power propagation transmissions (MEPT and telemetry). The FSQ modulation, coding and FSQCall protocol are publicly disclosed and described, and the software is open source. FSQ was developed by Con Wassilieff ZL2AFP with the assistance of Murray Greenman ZL1BPU. The first QSO took place between these two on 28th November 2014, and the first Alpha executable release was on 17th December 2014. The source code was released with the Beta version 0.23 on 3rd March 2015. The first US version release (V0.24 RC1 by Bob NW8L) was on 29th March 2015. The first full-package public release was by Bob NW8L on 29 April 2015. A version of fldigi with full FSQ support was released by Dave W1HKJ on 16 July 2015, and includes support for Linux and Mac platforms. FSQ is intended for fixed frequency (channelized) operation, with dedicated calling frequencies. It isn't intended as a 'tune around to see what you can find' mode! |
Chip64 | Chip64 is the software that implements CHIP64 and CHIP128 spread spectrum modes. |
IZ8BLY Stream | Stream is a software that implements MFSK16 and MFSK8 modes designed by me and Murray Greenman ZL1BPU. It also offers a series of experimental modes based on FEC, interleaving and several modulation techniques (PSK, QPSK, MSK). |
Jason | Jason is a weaksignal communication program, especially tailored for LF work. |
SIM31 | This new hf digital mode (digimode) has the same BPSK modulation of PSK31 but with a different coded FEC bitstream giving some enhancement against ionospheric fading and interchannel interferences. |
WOLF | WOLF (Weak-signal Operation on Low Frequency) is a proposed new signal format and protocol designed specifically for the LF bands. It can be used for beacons and for two way communication. Unlike existing formats, which are optimized for a particular S/N (and corresponding speed), WOLF can operate over a wide range of signal levels. For example, a WOLF beacon transmits a 15-character message repeatedly. If the received signal would be adequate for conventional CW, copy will be displayed in 24 seconds. At a level barely enough for 0.4 WPM QRSS, copy will appear within two minutes. Even if the signal is another 10 dB weaker, the message can still be received. It will take from 20 minutes to several hours, depending on the stability of the Tx and Rx. Of course, it is also necessary that the propagation path remain open over the required interval. |
MS-DMT | MIL-STD Data Modem Terminal. |
IZ8BLY MT63 | MT63 is a digital radio modulation mode for transmission in high-noise situations developed by Pawel Jalocha SP9VRC. MT63 is designed for keyboard-to-keyboard conversation modes, on HF HAM bands. |
Airlink Express | Airlink Express Box Airlink Express is a user friendly digital mode software package for the Amateur Radio Operator. The software is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Vista, and Microsoft Windows 7. (Seems to run on Windows 10, but vendor has not tested.) It offers PSK, MFSK and RTTY digital modes with logging and macro capabilities. If you have ever used the Digipan software you will be immediately familiar with Airlink Express. With the release of Windows Vista and Windows 7, Microsoft introduced a new sound architecture. Airlink Express is developed to support this new sound architecture, yet it maintains complete backward compatibility with Windows XP. Airlink Express brings back the familiar volume slider interface you've become used to from older Windows versions. |

PocketDigi | PocketDigi is an open source utility developed by OK1IAK to provide ham radio operators with PocketPC PDAs (and Windows computers) with the ability to use (encode and decode) digital modes such as RTTY (teletype), PSK (phase shift keying), and CW (Morse Code). |
TrueTTY | A program for amateur radio digital communications via a sound card. Supported modes are RTTY (Baudot code), ASCII (7 or 8 bits), PSK31 (BPSK and QPSK), BPSK63, QPSK63, BPSK125, AMTOR-FEC (SITOR-B, NAVTEX), MultiFSK-16, MultiFSK-8. HF-PACKET and UHF-PACKET (AX25) are supported in KISS-TNC emulation mode. SELFEC SITOR, AMTOR-ARQ (SITOR-A) and DTMF-code decoding is also possible. No additional hardware is required. You only need a transceiver and computer (Pentium-100 or better) with a sound card. A simple circuit for PTT-control can be used. It is fast and convenient to use with many macros for transmitting. Can integrate with AALog logger. |
AGW Packet Engine | This program does all the traffic between the packet applications (AGWFWD, AGWTERMINAL, AGWCLUSTER and others) and your TNCs. It runs as an Icon. It has the capability to handle 100 tncs and 100 applications at the same time. For the moment works with external tncs in KISS mode, Baycom Like serial modems for 1200-9600, DRSI cards (4 sharing the same IRQ line 8 Radioports), Baycom USCC cards, Sound Cards with the PSA chipset 1200/9600, OE5DXL,YAM, OptoScc, PetScc . New drivers for new hardware will be available as soon as I get the Hardware!!! It handles also the special dual port tncs of Kantronics (KAM,KPC96 etc.) and AEA (PK900 etc). This program has the capabilities to handle different applications it does that only if each application has a different call. Eg agwfwd.exe with SV2AGW-1,Agwterminal.exe SV2AGW, agwcluster.exe SV2AGW-3 etc. That way with just a tnc you work like you have two or three or four different tnc and TRCVRs. In case you have more than a tnc then each program can work all the tncs at the same time. You can eg. Chat with a friend with the agwterminal.exe in tnc1 (e.g.. vhf 1200bauds) and also receive a YAPP form tnc2 (eg. UHF 9600bauds). And also receive your mail from tnc1 and cluster dxspots also from tnc1. The combinations are unlimited. What the program doesn't do is that of gateway for other stations. Other stations cannot gateway from your tncs. Also it doesn't serves as a digi . This is done for two reasons. First I don't like the idea 'every tnc and a digi'. Leave it for clubs and special packet teams to decide if we need a digi or not. Second because I have to write a lot of code and I can't do it right now. Maybe in the future if I receive many requests for those operations. AGW Packet Engine can also use the native build in TCPIP protocol over Packet Radio. |
AGW Terminal | This program needs no other explanations because it is just a terminal program. The only difference is that it is multitasking. This means that you can have multiple connects and you can YAPP without restrictions. You can receive as many YAPPs as you wish simultaneously. If you have more than a RadioPort (You have more than a TNC) you can connect in any RadioPort. You can have also unlimited number of connections (about 100). Script Files. You can run at any time a script file with packet commands. Remote Control. Any station that connects you can remote the program if it has the remote Privilege. It can dir and receive a file from your disks etc. The AGWterminal has not a Help file. This isn't so big problem. You ask me about the remote control. Just enter from the properties menu and the remote dialog the callsigns. Each time someone wishes to remote receive files from you will type the 'REMOTE' command. If its call is in the list he will get remote access otherwise not. Everyone can send you a Yapp file. The program will receive the file. You don't have to do anything to receive a Yapp file. Just watch. You can also specify a file to send when someone connects you. Fill the proper dialog from the properties page. In this file write the follow ,if you wish. 'Type REMOTE for remote control'. Then add anything else you wish. The file must be a valid text file (no word-processing file). The program is much faster in sending from other dos applications. You will see it if you work 9600b packet station. You have the ability to use the program also as a telnet client for TCPIP connections. |
AGWTracker | Modern APRS terminal. Advanced tracking/messaging facilities with online map displays. |
AGW UI Digi (APRS) | AGWUIDigi is a program that help you setup your packet station to act as an APRS Digipeater. Its unique feature is that it is written to take advantage of the Windows XP facilities. Among others can act as Cross Port APRS digi if you have more than a RadioPort. Now Can be used also as Internet Gateway to feed data to and from Internet. The program is the Perfect Companion to AGWTracker. |
APRSISCE/32 for Win32 | APRSISCE/32 is an advanced Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) Client for Amateur Radio, written for Windows and Windows Mobile (CE). It will also run on Linux and Mac OS under WINE, as well as other virtual machines. APRSISCE/32 can be configured to run connected directly to the APRS-IS via an internet connection, as well as connected to the APRS-RF network via AGWPE, a TNC, or one of the APRS capable Radios including the Kenwood TH-D72/TM-D710 and Yaesu FTM-350. |
BPQ32 for Windows | BPQ for DOS and BPQ32 for Windows were written by John Wiseman G8BPQ/GM8BPQ and have a considerable following of appreciative users. BPQ32 includes BPQMailChat, a modern BBS and Chat system. BPQ32 offers three program interfaces. The DLL interface is the fundamental and most capable interface and is recommended for new applications. An AGW-like front end interface is offered permitting BPQ32 to be used with any program currently supporting AGWPE. The third, now deprecated, interface method is ActiveX. An AGW back end interface has been added to allow BPQ32 to use sound card modems. Many useful BPQ32 utilities and configuration examples are included. |
Digiplex | Digiplex is a multi-purpose routing engine aimed to work with the AGW Packet Engine by SV2AGW. Some of it's features are: A cross-band AX.25 L2 Smart Digipeater (SMART). A NETROM router (ROUTE). An APRS enabled digipeater (APRS). A high performance router with hop-to-hop ack (DIGIPLEX). It's intended to interoperate with other network infrastructure components such as NETROM nodes and digipeaters present on your LAN but based on other platforms. Also it features other functions such as Telnet remote access, a build-in Web server, the capability to define 'managed applications' to be accessed thru it and more... The program is in the process to be developed with upgrades being continually released as part of the beta process. |
Direwolf | Dire Wolf is a software 'soundcard' modem/TNC and APRS * encoder/decoder. It can be used stand-alone to observe APRS traffic, as a digipeater, APRStt gateway, or Internet Gateway (IGate). It can also be used as a virtual TNC for other applications such as APRSIS32, UI-View32, Xastir, APRS-TW, YAAC, UISS, Linux AX25, SARTrack, RMS Express, and many others. |
Outpost PM | Outpost is a Windows-based packet message client that lets you send and receive packet messages with almost any Amateur Radio Bulletin Board System (BBS) or TNC Personal Mail Box. Outpost was designed for the ARES/RACES packet user community. The thinking behind it was to create an intuitive, easy-to-use program that lets ARES/RACES organizations focus on the 'message,' not the 'medium,' as they pass digital message traffic to and from an Operational Area BBS. So, what are the overall design goals? * Hide the complexity of the native packet environment and shorten the learning curve * Provide an MS Windows-based packet messaging client * Automate the packet message handling environment * Create a program that behaves like your email client that you have at work or home... * ...create, send, receive, read, delete, reply to, or forward messages * Support the response efforts and requirements of our local municipalities and served agencies Outpost has a similar look and feel to other contemporary mail clients. It features Windows-driven forms and screens that handle creating, sending, receiving, storing, and printing packet messages from your PC. It also can run automatically where it periodically checks for out-going and in-coming messages. Outpost does not yet support any packet message forwarding protocol or SMTP. Instead, it interprets the information sent from the TNC and BBS, then generates the TNC and BBS commands needed to send, list, and retrieve messages from the BBS. It essentially automates the keyboard entry and interpretation performed by the user.
