Ten Tec 506 and Arduino

[wb4jfi at knology.net]

Depending on the DDS involved, you COULD send PSK31.  The newer/better 
Analog Devices have multiple frequency and phase registers that can be 
switched to via software and possibly hardware control.  I believe some of 
the AFD995x series have two frequency registers, allowing FSK.  They also 
have four phase registers, allowing QPSK.  All under hardware/software 
control, probably accessible to the Uno32.  If so, it would probably make a 
LOT cleaner PSK signal as well.  IF it has a better DDS chip, that is.  If 
it's using an old AD9850 or AD9851, well, that takes a little more work.

So, PSK31 transmit should be possible.  Receive may be a different matter. 
But, with the maxKIT Uno32 having much better speed and other resources, 
receive PSK31 may also be possible.  If no, ship the audio to an external 
PSK31 decoder (dsPIC), or a, Nue-PSK.

I joined the Yahoo group for this rig.  Am very interested in more technical 
data.

The info I have says it is "CW only".  To send the audio tones for PSK31
I think a SSB capability would be needed.

Maybe those Ten Tec marketing guys are forward thinkers, but right now
Elecraft is eating their lunch and I don't see the introduction of the
506 to change that.
