Short User Manual HamSphere 3.0

MULTI SERVER SPHERE
===========================
HamSphere 3.0 currently consists of a network of 3 servers. USA, UK and Sweden.
The signal propagation between the servers are based on a spacial Shortwave DX
simulation. Therefore you will notice that stations will have different
signal levels between the servers.
HamSphere 3.0 has a new messaging system. To save CPU power and network activity
the message system is at very low priority so your chat and private messages can
be a little delayed.
Standard chat messages are not relayed between the servers as it would clotter
the chat list. Private messages are however relayed between the servers.
If you want to send a global message to all users on all servers you can use
the /cluster msg command.
The cluster shows all activity on all servers.
BUTTONS EXPLAINED
===========================
CH- : Step 1 kHz down in VFO mode and memory down in MEM mode
CH+ : Step 1 kHz up in VFO mode and memory up in MEM mode
VFO/MR : Set VFO or Memory
FILTER : Set filter 1 (3.8kHz) or 2 (2.8kHz)
VOX :
Set VOX operation which means that the PTT can be triggered by your voice.
You can set the VOX levels with the SETTINGS button.
Adjust the VOX gain so that it triggers the PTT with your voice only.
Set the VOX delay so that it keeps the PTT hold enough for the pace of speech.
DSB/CW : Toggle between DSB mode (voice) and CW Mode (Morse code)
SIM OFF : Turn simulation mode off. Works on 6 and 10 meters only.
AGC : Set Automatic Gain Control to slow or fast. (Receiver)
COMPR :
Powerful microphone compressor/processor. Layman definition:
Makes your audio stronger and more consistant. But should not be used in
the long run as it can make your voice hard to listen to.
So please use in moderation.
For experts:
By reducing the dynamics of the voice signal you can push more
ERP (Emitted Radiated Power) out of your HamSphere Transceiver.
This is an elegant way of overcoming QRMs or bad signal propagation.
The compressor has 3 settings: Attack, Release and Threshold.
Attack is when the compressor is decreasing gain to reach the ratio level.
Release is when the compressor is increasing gain to reach the ratio level.
The higher the number of attack or release, the faster it will adjust the level.
The ratio is set by the "Threshold". By increasing the threshold,
the over all audio level will increase.
The mic input has also a significant impact on the compressor performance.
You will have to experiment with it to get the best values for your voice.
Some rule of thumb settings:
Attach 1, Release 1, Threshold 1300 = Easy compression (High dynamics)
Attach 4, Release 4, Threshold 2100 = Harder compression (Medium dynamic)
Attach 8, Release 8, Threshold 2700 = Extreme compression (Very low dynamics)
CODOFF :
Codec OFF mode will switch the Transceiver to 30 meters and turn off all audio
codecs. This will allow digital SSTV or other data modes to be transmitted.
When the transceiver is in Codec off mode it will require approximately
140 kbits bit speed. Please note that all audio filters are disengaged
in this mode.
PTT :
PTT Push To Talk is used to key the transmitter. It has two modes:
Locked and unlocked. It comes by default as unlocked meaning that
the transmitter will go off once you release the PTT.
By clicking on the left led in the PTT button you can lock it.
While the PTT button is in locked mode, the PTT will toggle the
transmitter and you can release the PTT for more comfortable
"long"-transmissions.
LOGOUT :
You will need to hold this button for a least 3 seconds in order
to logout from the system.
CLUSTER :
The HamSphere radio cluster shows a representation of all current
activity on the HamSphere bands. It will show all active stations
on all servers. Can can click on each callsign to get an instant database
lookup in the chat field.

There is even direct links to the PayPal payments system.
SETTINGS
Audio settings:
Vox Gain:1-8, VOX Delay 0-3sec.
Mic Comp attack: 1-8, release 1-8, threshhold: 300-3000
Mixer command. The specific mixer command for your operating system.
i.e: sndvol32 for Windows XP and sndvol for Windows7 and Vista.
Programmable F-Keys (F1-F12)
Programmable CW-Keys (F1-F8)
Use #c in texts to replace with clipboard content and #r for Enter.
SERVER SELECTOR
HamSphere has multiple servers. They are listed here.
Each server has a ping number in ms (milliseconds) and ID number.
The closer your are to the server, the lower the ping.
