[digitalradio] MFTTY - HF Path Simulations

2009-01-17 Thread Tony
All, I was able to take some time to test MFTTY with the HF path simulator this evening. I added a few commonly use modes for comparison. As expected, the slower / narrow MFTTY modes seemed to have a definite weak signal advantage over the faster ones. The minimum SNR test showed a wide

Thanks for the tests, Tony. The numbers confirm what NC5O and I found yesterday with our on-the-air comparisons between MFTTY, PSK31, PSK63, PSK125, and MFSK16 over a period of four hours and changing band conditions. We could communicate on PSK31 long after MFTTY had quit decoding, and solid

Hi Misko. I strongly believe before going to actually implement something one shall explore existing systems first and if it is possible, try to simulate a new system using the existing one. I propose that you and your friends try to set up a flexnet system using fixed links at single frequency.

Skip, Glad to hear that the path simulations coincide with your on-air tests. I agree with your take on Olivia 500/16 and MFSK16. There are times when I'd rather sacrifice some throughput and go twice as fast. The throughput gap between the two does increase under severe ionospheric

G'Day All, I am trying to get more to grips with all the digital modes to operate. I currently run HRD w DM780 and MFTTY software on my computer (Love HRD) I have used DM780 in the past but it was just plug-in and see if it ran, which it did and was able to make some contacts. I have since

Kevin, What I was interested in, is, should I have moved the radio freq. to pull the station onto the 1.5Khz No need to move the VFO unless you decide to search outside the 2.5 KHz window of your radios pass band. Most of the PSK31 activity, for example, falls within that window. Should I
