Hello Skip, TKS for the information.
I read the specifications. It seems to be a DominoEX with a MFSK16 interleaver (in the FEC DominoEx, in accord with Murray Greenman, I had reduced it as it seemed to me that the delay was a bit long). Do you confirm that it is the only difference? If so, due to the longer interleaver, the Thor mode must be a bit more robust than DominoEx Fec but with a longer delay. 73 Patrick ----- Original Message ----- From: kh6ty To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2008 4:07 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Re: Sound card question Patrick, John, The link on the Thor web page, http://w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp/Thor.html, provides some additional technical specifications for Thor: http://w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp/Modes/THORdesc.htm To answer John's question, Thor uses full time FEC. 73, Skip KH6TY NBEMS Development Team ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrick Lindecker To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2008 9:25 AM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Re: Sound card question Hello John, As far as I know, there are no public specifications or description of THOR modes. 73 Patrick ----- Original Message ----- From: "vk2eta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2008 12:01 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Re: Sound card question > Vojtech and Patrick thanks you for the reply.
