John, Yes, in the big majority of QSOs, it is rare to find a long period of deep QSB. However...

Tony , K2M) and I were testing this and found that while we could get ALE400 out of sync under very weak signals . we both had to go QRP, by not typing anything into the buffer for a moment got the signal back without further collisions. Seemed to work well for us. Both using the latest (13th) test version of multipsk, not sure if that has any effect, found at http://f6cte.free.fr/MULTIPSK_TEST_13_08_2009.ZIP john VE5MU
