Re: [digitalradio] THOR is static-proof (Re: KV9U - MT63)

Skip, MT63-1000 has a -5 dB minimum S/N, but MFSK16 has a -13.5 dB minimum S/N, so the static tests you made must be at signal levels high enough that MT63-1000 decodes, which may not be a realistic level. That is true. Fortunately, there are times when signals are above the decode threshold

Re: [digitalradio] AFC in FL-Digi

We use search acquisition range of 40Hz , and 6dB for PSK250. That will solve your problem. AFC should be on on. Sweet spot wherever your filter sweet spot is. E.g. to use the DSP on a IC756 we use 1500, default is 1000 Hz. Use a 300 Hz filter if possible. Rein PA0R -Ursprüngliche

In EU only 500 Hz bandwidth is allowed on 30 meters. I would suggest those interested in pskmail to discuss further on the pskmail list, you are invited to join at http://www.freelists.org/archive/pskmail. The chances you get help there are bigger and to organize the servers all present

We did not test MT63, because only MT63-2000 could work with flarq and ARQ, and we think it would be irresponsible to use that on the shared ham bands for the little benefit it would bring compared to much more narrow modes. It is OK to use on MARS, because each MARS frequency channel is

I would like to remind all, if you are not already aware, to turn AGC off when static crashes are an issue. If you are fortunate enough to operate in a mixed mode net, turn it to fast, or for inland stations, medium. Slow recovery time of the rig in response to a strong signal cannot be

David, I would like to remind all, if you are not already aware, to turn AGC off when static crashes are an issue. Good advise. A fast AGC setting may help as well if there's no way to turn it off. Tony -K2MO - Original Message - From: David Little dalit...@bellsouth.net To:
