[digitalradio] Olivia Contestia path simulations

All, Interesting pathsim test: Contestia 16/500 and Olivia 4/500 move along at about the same wpm rate, but there's quite a bit of difference in performance. Contestia 16/500 THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS +UER THE LAZY DOG THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER

Is there anyone out there who uses both DM780 MixW who could record wave files using DM780 where the wave files contain Contestia and RTTYM trasmissions? You'll need to couple the programs using something like VAC. Ideally one file per mode with a reasonable long text. I need the waves files

Hi Simon and all I made some pathsimulations with RTTYM and Contestia from viewpoint QRP and contesting. My results show that both are dead modes. But RTTYM with UOS like Sholto believe it would be much better. The data about 1.5dB snr or 3dB in relation with original Olivia is myth.

Hi Vojtech, I didn't know that PocketDigi ran on Windows XP etc. - I also clean forgot about MultiPSK (sorry Patrick). I saw your Contestia / RTTYM implementation - quite simple really (once someone's already done the hard work). Simon HB9DRV www.ham-radio-deluxe.com www.sdr-radio.com

This is where Patrick's RSID idea will help, I'm adding it to DM780 and maybe the MixW developer(s) could add it? Patrick - how does the RSID sensitivity / robustness compare to Olivia? Would there be any point in sending the RSID twice? Simon Brown, HB9DRV www.ham-radio-deluxe.com -

Hello Simon, maybe the MixW developer(s) could add it? It would be good to include RS ID in Mixw, at least for the Mixw exotic modes (FSK31 for example). It could be indicated for the softs not decoding the exotic mode with which soft it could be decoded. For example, on reception on a (future)

Simon, As Patrick mentioned, the RSID is very sensitive. Multipsk was able to detect the ID down to -25db with the HF path simulator PathSim. It seems robust and decodes fine with moderate HF channel disturbances -- tends to fail under extreme conditions such as disturbed high / low latitude
