Have you found particular combinations of Olivia BW and tones that seem to work the best for various conditions?
My frustration with Olivia is that it is impractically slow for keyboard chats unless you use the higher baud speeds to get the wpm to at least 30 wpm. But then it does not seem to work as well. But if the choice was some communication instead of no communication, there would be times that it would be a good choice. My main interest is in using sound card modes that work well for emergency communication with lower power and lesser quality antennas, particularly on HF NVIS. 73, Rick, KV9U Jose Amador wrote: > > As all differentially encoded modulations, it has a price, in the form > of burst errors following a wrong bit. > > For me, Olivia is far better than any Domino EX modes, including Domino > with FEC.With FEC it is more robust, > but becomes slower than Olivia, without reaching the same degree of > robustness.
