Why would you like to do that?
>FM radio frequencies are Airborne frequencies and they are amplitude modulated i.e AM.
You are right. I'd like to listen Airborn frequencies. Is it possible with Diamond ?
Id actually like to know if it is possible as well, alot of cool frequincies in that range, airtraffic, police, firestation... would be cool to be able to use the diamond as a frequency scanner as well
AM or SSB or PM are different moduleation forms then fm
am is amplitude modulated
ssb is single side band == only info in ½ the am "sinus"
pm is pherse modulated
fm is frequency modulated
they cant recieve signals from other modulations
and unless a fm radio was made to recieve from other ranges
it's impossible to change it
with old type of radios one can change the components
called crystals to match other hz's but if it's inside a chip it's not possible
Ok , but airtraffic comunications are FM (108 to 133 mhz). Is it possible to set Diamond to FM Band 108 mhz / 133 mhz ??? I know ... it is possible to change a normal FM receiver to listen 108 Mhz to 133 Mhz instead 88 mhz to 108 Mhz ...
Do you know if it is possible ???? Thanks.
i cant say but i doubt it
Radio Frequency change
Actually, the radios in most current PDA / Cellphones are run by software -hence, for example the RADIO software in the boot rom being different based on the version number - causing different battery drains, lock-on time for GPS, etc.
What is needed is a set of spec sheets for the hardware inside the phone and then an "expert software" package to disassemble and label the code within the Radio software. These can sometimes be provided by the hardware manufacturer - not the phone/PDA manufacturer - but Intel, Motorola or other such.
After that, if the timers and registers can be reset to different frequencies (it is all done by 'countdown' timers and dividers) then yes, the radio CAN be changed to cover different frequencies - such as Aircraft bands.
And, yes, I know this because I have designed microcode for such devices before - but I got out of the business because it has become too, too demanding on an older gentleman such as myself.
yes i made a ssb radio in a dsp once as a project but even if it's software
it dont change what range of Hz's one can recieve
the first filters in the line before the dsp get to "play" with the signal
set the limit of what range is possible
that being said i dont know for suden what the max range the chip in
the diamond
but few companys who want to make money spend alot of money on hardware
which is able to give more then they need in terms of range and the likes

In digital radios, even the inline filters are digital, and most (like cellphones) have a large set of dividers and multipliers in the head end, the base frequency on many of the phones is 2.3 GHz and then that is frequency multiplied or divided to get to a harmonic of the frequency wanted, and after applying digital bandpass, hipass and lopass filters to chomp out the "grass" they end up with the frequencies wanted. Most all of that is done inside a single chip these days - they don't use DSPs much anymore - they have complete head end, intermediate, FM/AM/FSK/SB and DV outputs right from the single chip now. (I really did do this carp for a living, guys.... )
Dont forget that MOST ot the PDA/Cellphone users are blind to even the idea that the thing is completely built with software - they just "take it as it is". If you think about the MILLIONS of users out there with HTC products in thier hands and how FEW are really in this forum, it doesnt take much to see that the companies are pretty safe about making money - not to mention that they bring out new bells and gadgets every 12 to 18 months too, just to keep the money rolling in!

to be able to sample a signal one is required to according to nyquist
to use at least 2 times the hz as the signal you are sampling
with the dsp i used ADSP 8150 EZ-Kit Light board
i had a 300Mhz dsp and samping Mhz or even 1XXKhz signal would
be imposible without a pre downsampling system analog or asic

Yuppers.... an ASIC is only one segment of the headend inside the primary radio chip. Current ASIC's can take a 2.3GHz input and create a reference from 40MHz up to 18GHz with a max of 8dbm insertion loss to the secondary segments. From there, you can probably guess what can be done - since the reference is 40MHz to 20GHz, then changing the operating radio band and the bandwidth is just a matter of changing the preload values in 10 or 12 downcounter registers, setting the ouptut format and channeling the analog to the proper device(s) -
I was a subroutine programmer for some military development work which used a Freescale MXC300-30 (modified for the particular use) and I tell you, the things that chip could do..... holybejeezus!!!!
The master clock was 600MHz but it could handle WDCMA Tri-band to 1900 MHz [1.9GHz] while handling the audio and video conversions (much slower clock rates - 128 KHz and 1.75 MHz) and do this all at the same time as it was providing the master processor clock and a few other things as well.
Ah well... those days are over (thank God!)

Wow, you and your stuck caps lock just don't give up do ya?
I figure we'll all see this same message from you for the next month if someone doesn't answer, so...
1 - most BT headsets work with voice dial, whether you mean MS Voice Command or one of the Cyberon variants.
2 - clock240, etc, are shortcuts to the OmapClock overclocking utility that set the CPU to the indicated speed. So, Clock240 sets the cpu at 240 Mhz, clock250 sets it to 250 Mhz, etc. There is no feedback - it just does it's work quietly. The CPU will revert to stock speed when the device is put in standby.

ok i know mini stumbler doesn't work since it hasn't been updated back in 2004.
i do alot of network readings for work. mainly net stumbler for the regular SNR readings not the snr+.
is there a program that i could use on my AT&T tilt to get SNR readings?
i would like to walk around with my phone then my laptop getting readings.
Apologies if you know this already, but WiFiFoFum can observe (& record to a file if reqd.) the RSSI - can you figure out the signal2noise ratio with that figure?

i like to just to do a quick look and record the SNR. I install wireless AP's in hotels and i have to test the signal in every room.
or what would be the quickest way to figure out the SNR with the RSSI?
It appears that the calculation may depend on the WiFi chip manufacturer.
Because the RSSI detector is a nonlinear detector, it changes the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of the signal that goes into it. The key to the ASK sensitivity calculation is the SNRout vs SNRin curve of the RSSI detector.
Once we know the SNRout vs SNRin relationship, the steps to finding the ASK sensitivity for a given Noise Figure, IF Bandwidth, and Data Rate are given below.
1. Determine the Eb/No needed for a target BER (10-3 in this example) then calculate the SNR from the Eb/No by using
SNR = (Eb/No) * (R/BBW)
Where R is the data rate and BBW is the Data Filter bandwidth.
2. Reduce the SNR calculated from the previous step by the ratio in dB of the IF (pre-detection) BW to the Data Filter BW. For instance, a 600 kHz IF BW and 6 kHz Data Filter BW means a 20 dB reduction in the SNR. This is the SNR of the signal coming out of the RSSI detector before the Data Filter gets rid of the high frequency noise (assumed to occupy the IF BW). At sensitivity, this ratio is usually negative in dB.
3. Use the RSSI SNRout vs SNRin curve to find the SNR at the input to the RF or IF Amplifier and RSSI detector. You actually use the curve "backwards" to find SNRin given the SNRout you calculated in Step 2.
4. Use the SNR formula for the front end of a receiver to find the signal level at the receiver input. This is the sensitivity, S.
S = (SNRin) * (kTBIFFS)
Where kT is the noise spectral density at 290 K (-174 dBm/Hz) BIF is the IF (pre-detection) BW, and FS is the system (not just the front-end) noise figure of the receiver.
Because the RSSI detector is a logarithmic detector, the SNR input-output relationship can be expressed in a closed-form expression, albeit a messy one. An old paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems[1] derived the expression and plotted the SNRout vs SNRin curve. The curve in the article is small and doesnft have enough gridlines, but it is possible to evaluate the expression in an Excel spreadsheet and plot it in better detail. The curve appears below, plotted along with a simple SNRout = SNRin curve (linear detection) for comparison. Notice the threshold effect. Below the "crossover point" SNR of 3.7 dB, the SNR gets worse going through the detector. Above this point, it improves.

Taken from the 9th post here.
So, going from my brief skim reading, it may not be possible to get the SNR figure from an RSSI figure without a noise value at each point?
Could be wrong, I'm no expert at all, just hoped the program might be of use to you...
thanks for the help.
Hopefully there's a program out there that would work for me.

i tried it already, it doesn't detect the Wifi card. Maybe someone here can get mini stumbler to work on the kaiser?
thanks though!
The original question can be anwswered differently depending on interpretation of question....
1. How can ur xda transmit/receive over ham freqs? (must perform modifications to device and get FCC-ok, but legally possible)
2. How can ur xda observe and post through web host-repeater to chatbox, and can hambands be listened to on website over xda?
My tilt would not have javascripting and java plugins running would it? It doesn't seem to be able to support the Netherlands site post#3. I tried with both PIE and opera mini with TCPMP and Streaming Media Player.
I think it would be easier if you just use HAM Radio over Internet...
couple things
1.)
power booster would be designed native to particular phone
designed for particular freq band
cradle or docking station for xda (charges with signal rx - antenna on top of car wired into cradle)
33cm band is old analog cell operating band. You might have interruptions sound like conversation(hi-freq noise w/multi-tones)
23cm band(1240-1300Mhz), 13cm 2350-2450Mhz(right in middle of celll phone authourization band - most of GSMs here)
GSM requires carrier-authorization (freq band) 900-928Mhz which is near cell phone range.
Microwaves may have skin heating effect. Questions of safety of being in close contact with xdas and cell phone towers known to cause cancer. Antennas in microwave range are extremely small. Could make collinear to give multiple gains. U could get pretty hi gain wi fi antenna in 900Mh~2 ghz range. Couplers(passive) could be used with antennas in cars
Many collinear high gain antennas would multiply 10000-20000x the power with a power amp. external antenna would give 20x-30x range. mounted atop vehicle or house would give far better line of sight both tx and rx. would easily recover loss from passive coupling on back side of radio. ctrl ops would have to provide very precise measurements on operation in freq and band. legal to do if authorized and operating in legal bands of FCC (here in usa...every country would have near equivalent comm regulators)
2.)
d-Star a protocol to internconnect cells into digital repeater systems. Ppl talk 100-150 miles apart with its usage. Transfer video, audio, or data. With packet radio u could transmit text thru pda entirely thru ham radio. It may go partially thru both ham and cell towers to hit say australia.
possible to use ham over ip software to find repaters' url and will be encapsulated as traffic.(ax.25 protocol used in amateur radio...internet affected by similar ix.25 protocol) GSM refers to type of modulation used to modulate signal. once it gets back to the inernet its born as packets of info ie voip graphic images ascii whatever (but no porn!)
links would be limited for instance if link transmitted at 300 baud it would take forever. but text for example ascii short and sweet would easily be transmitted in 12-15 modes psk 31, packet radio, paktor, amtor (amateur radio version of sitor), baudot. ascii is a recognized easily. all is encapsulated.
baudot is 5bit instead of 8bit. still used today in deaf phones with 5bit baudot code. makes it easy to use as a terminal into a ham radio. easy to talk to teletype operators over world. alot of times host will translate over internet with known repeater-ip address. connect to digipeater over ham(or cell?) and internet. Lots of mailbox like systems. almost like an email server.

I just thought I'd say I'm a ham and I gave up on reading that drivel at about 3 lines in.
You could probably do speaker/mic to a radio and be an internet gateway that way, but all this other "cellular is near suchandsuch" stuff is silly, the Tilt itself would in no way ever be transmitting on ham frequencies.
Easier said..*wink*
Thank you for input, khaytsus. Cleared up first post(somewhat).
Would really like others to read more than 3 lines in...
Rayan, I have checked a couple of the links out. The tilt does not seam to support the java version or javascripting...will keep trying the others.
Ham radio through Kaiser/Tilt
The simplest solution would be EchoLink. With the AT&T Tilt having the PTT button, I would love to have a WM port of EchoLink tied to the PTT. If I knew how to program, I would work on a WM port of EchoLink. Any programmers up to the challenge?

Boy, I came in on this way late, and am resurrecting a dead thread...sorry about that.
Wish I were still doing programming, that would be a fun project, that's for sure. Got a couple of friends that are programmers, though, one with experience with PPC stuff...gives me some things to think about....
My thinking as far as VOIP around here was to simply use the wireless LAN in the house and something like Microsoft Portrait or Skype to pass the audio to my HF rig. My big problem is rig control since I use HRD for rig control and logging on a regular basis and I don't really want to change.
Anyone got any good ideas there?
As to some of the other stuff posted, I agree, the Tilt (or any handheld cell phone for that matter) certainly won't easily make it to the lower ham bands. Plus, you'd have a lot of work to do reprogramming it to make it to the upper bands. Is it possible? Maybe, but not worth the effort in my opinion. Provided all of this was done in the US, by US citizens, you wouldn't have to resubmit the device for FCC certification, as long as several conditions were met. First, you would have to be a licensed ham operator. Second, you couldn't sell it to anyone other than another ham operator for use at his station. And third, you'd have to verify that it fell within the spurious emissions guidelines that the FCC sets out for a device at that power level. I should remember what that is, but I've slept since I took the test.
When it comes to getting an antenna connected to the phone, if you're talking about the Tilt itself, it has an antenna connector behind the rubber cover near the camera lens. Most phones have the same type of connector somewhere on them. Not all, but most. That also tends to remove most of the stray RF from the device itself and allows you to route the RF to an amplifier instead of having to use passive devices and increasing efficiency. BUT, you're still talking about retuning a device that wasn't originally designed for those frequencies in the first place. Interesting idea, though. Using that thought, the amplifier could be relatively universal and wouldn't have to be designed for a specific device.
As to many of the links, while they're relevant to a degree, many of them are online receivers. It's legal to broadcast received signals online, but not legal to rebroadcast signals over the ham bands. There's where the control operator mentioned in the first link comes into play. That's the whole issue of legality. There's no problem with listening, though. If you can stream the signals, you can listen all you want.
OK. I've not only resurrected a dead thread, but I've stirred the pot quite a bit. I'm curious to see what floats to the top!

ham radio why not??
ok why not use hrd and psk 31 and you should beable to do all functions but voice over radio and computer. just a thought 73s wc3sam
it'd be really neat to see an Echolink compatible client, and fantastic to tie it to the PTT!
As it is, I leave my HT running at home sometimes and have it streaming through my Windows Media 9 encoder at 8kbs, and it sounds awesome, with no breakup, even over GPRS. The downside is that I can't talk back, but at least I can keep tabs on our emergency nets, and I SMS in my check-ins to another HAM buddy live on the net, so he lets them know I'm listening. Downside #2 is that I can't surf the towers. I have to go home and change the tuning manually. I don't have a radio with a fancy PC interface for control. Just a thumbwheel tuned clunker I picked up at a field day. It does the job though.
I hope we have a good samaritan programmer that might take this project up. My Dad and I would love this app!

First I want to thank everyone for their posts and links, You mad my research a one stop shop
I have a hardware/systems integration background and love it. My dad rest His sole gave me a walkie talkie before I could talk. I have have been excited by the concept of field day in the ham radio world since. to go into a remote area and set up as many systems and frequencies as you can and make as many contacts around the world in 24 hrs excites me!! I have carried this over into my work and play. I have been working on a idea of a remote control/relay station with COTS (consumer off the shelf)items. Having a remote terminal that can send /receive email,sms,mms, make phone calls, have Internet access and control an APRS (automatic position reporting system) in a package that the power source is the limiting factor is a challenge. With the information you people have posted and linked I was successful in upgrading my tilt form stock to cooked and back with only one anomaly. That is a text message from my provider when I hard boot

On the flip the only time I get lock up is when I have a USB connection, Edge connection, a wifi connection bluetooth connection, and am trying to access a web page over 400k. I think this is a windows issue cuz I can still open the start menu, but soft boot is needed. In the same location the db environment increased from -93db to -73 and was getting 8 sat's with GPS (this is inside a local drinking establishment) .
I am down to 3 main pieces in the system
1) the Tilt
2) A dual band hand held xmitter (opened up to wide band xmitt and receive)with a built in tnc
3) A laptop
I can now sit on a given location and be connected to email, sms,mms,internet,phone,and 144 mhz to 448 mhz with one control center (a laptop, a tilt and a xmitter)

Hey guys, I gotta good news!
I bought a lumia 625 in the last year in December, but until now , I got stuck with WP8 unforunately. I was really interested in Windows Phone platform, but hard restrictions makes me feel like I have a nearly strong, but an absolute useless mobile. I like to gain the best of all the features whitch comes whit my device, but in this way, Nokia is still two steps behind from the other manufacturers of the market. I follow day by day the infos of the Android project Nokia X, so I've decided to check my bootloader somehow, to test the possibilities if in the future can be able to port a CFW into the phone.
-Turned the phone off,
-Pressed the Volume Up button and kept holding it
-Connected a USB cable to the PC
- And voila, A NEW UNLOCKED QUALCOMM DEVICE WAS RECOGNISED BY OS (instead of Nokia DLOAD)

- And voila, A NEW UNLOCKED QUALCOMM DEVICE WAS RECOGNISED BY OS (instead of Nokia DLOAD)

Ähm.... what exactly are you trying?
And what do you want?
Do you want an unlocked bootloader?
Or do you want SIM-Unlock?
If you connect your device and it shows "qualcomm device", does windows ask you to format your drive? (if it does, do NOT format, press cancel!! as in old Lumia 800 days)

I'm just having a trial of if I have an unlocked bootloader or not. I do not want to unlock the sim-lock, but if it possible, I would change the firmware to another (get started trying to port android somehow). I know, that there's a large scale of Android running smartphones nowadays, but lumia devices have uniq beautiful design, and well quality of hardwer. So if there's a potencial chance of success, why not?
SORRY guys i was a little basic on the 1st post, what i want to do is use another network on the phone, its locked to one company and i want to use another companies sim, is this possible without having to pay for it pls?
Sorry about that

I highly doubt that happens. If you hold the volume up button during boot, you'll put the phone into some sort of mode (forgot the exact name), but the OS won't recognize it as a mass storage device. If anything, you'd get a QUALCOMM MSM DEVICE or something like that, which isn't of much use either. And if you connect the phone during normal boot procedure, you'll probably get a NOKIA BOOTMGR for a couple of seconds before the OS finishes booting and the MTP kicks in.
This isn't WP7. Production WP8 Nokias are all protected by SecureBoot and a whole bunch of other stuff, so you can give up your hopes of a factory unlocked bootloader.
