They seem somewhat illogical, with static zoom-levels without the ability to zoom into a marked area. On a Danish keyboard, this means that the task of adjusting the brush size – Brackets keys – requires you to hold down the Alt Gr.

To that end, Topaz Remask employs some of the Adobe Photoshop keyboard layout, but sadly without the ability to customize the layout. That would make it easier to use and be precise in the adjustment of the primary Compute brush-size. It would be nice though, to have a clear indication of the initially analyzed edges and segments. In some ways, I prefer the Topaz Remask work-flow, where you start by marking out the difficult areas rather than the cut- and keep-areas. Well, you’re actually saving a 4-map (Keep, Cut, Compute and Transparency), but unfortunately you can’t save the Adjustments or the changes in color recovery/desaturation.

It’s intuitive, easy on the eyes, and with the 4-split screen, where you can edit on each of the 4 screens, the program has the upper-hand over the competitors.Ĭonsidering that a cut-out process can be quite tricky and time-consuming, it’s also a welcome feature that you can save a project / Trimap / mask as you go along. The really nifty part is that everything is in the mobile radio.It’s evident that a lot of planning has gone into the Topaz Remask interface.

This Tait applications note describes the technology and how it works. The user never has to twist a knob as he drives around. This mobile voting feature, when enabled, causes each users receiver to automatically select the best signal, and the receiver steers the transmitter appropriately. Picture an agency, such as a county or district police department, with a large number of wireline (or microwave link) controlled linked base stations or reepaters, all of which are at different geographical sites (each of which, naturally, has different geographical coverage, or 'RF footprint'), all of which transmit the same audio (or it could be a large, linked repeater system configured so that what goes in on one system comes out on all systems). One option that Tait offers that very few manufacturers have is voting in the mobile - where a mobile can select the best base station or repeater signal depending on signal strength.

There is a real lack of NBFM mobile and handheld equipment that covers 218-225 MHz, plus I know of more than one multi-repeater system whose members could use a 2m or 440 radio with the mobile voting feature (described below). I can put a pointer to you on this web page. If there is a Tait new or used equipment seller that would like to do some business with USA amateurs please let the author know. If there is a Tait expert 'out there' let me know, I'd be willing to just about turn over this page to you. If the person wants to remain anonymous (as many manufacturers employees want to) that's alright too. If you are at all interested in these radios I suggest you join it.Īn overview article on what equipment is of interest to the amateur would be most welcome (and we won't complain if it's written by a dealer, as long as the major thrust is information sharing rather than sales). There is a YahooGroup mailing list oriented toards Tait radios at. Back to the Tait index pageĬompiled by Mike Morris WA6ILQ from donations from several folks

I do acknowledge that a lot of posts regarding the Tait TM2020 Software can look alike however I.
