Hi Guys Andy, the frequencies listed on the web site are for APRS 300bd, except 10m which is 1200bd. The setup I describe is specifically as an adjunct to Net14 and not a PSK-63 general QSO frequency. With regard to Long/Lat v Grid Square, the choice is yours but the Grid Square shortens the

Hi Guys Andy, if you wish to join in the Net14 activities with just PSK-63 then by all means do so but I stress this frequency is not for general QSOs. If you are just running a PSK-63 program set your dial to 14.103MHz LSB and the PSK tone to 1300Hz. If you are running an APRS program under

I've never heard of Net14 before and don't know how it differs from APRS in general, but the best band for APRS activity (including using PSK63) 24/7 seems to be 30m. You need the software APRS Messenger which you can get from this Yahoo group:

We have been using PSK63 for APRS inside PSKmail from 2003 to 2005, and we have dropped it. Reason was the long duration of the frames, which made them extremely vulnarable to qrm, qrn and other goodies. We are now using PSK250 and PSK500R with a lot more success, also the pskmail protocol has

Extensive testing of ROS on the air on UHF have now been concluded. Unfortunately, ROS totally fails for UHF communications, in either 16 baud, or 1 baud variants, and using either the HF or EME channel. Even with ROS metric readings between -1 dB and -8 dB (i.e. relatively strong signals),

There's a lot more to Olivia than being multi-tone MFSK. A fairer comparison with a new mode such as ROS would be MFSK as the features of Olivia that make it so very robust could (should) be added at a later date. To put it simply Olivia hunts for the best signal it can decode and has

The question is whether a narrower mode would have done as good a job or even better. To take up more than twice the bandwidth of even the widest Olivia mode there has to be some benefit. In IARU region 1 only 10KHz is allocated to narrow band digimodes so ROS should not be used at all on 30m.

If there were documentation on ROS then there would the possibility of investigating the problem further and maybe adding improvements. Part of the problem is that even if there is a large degree of spreading compared to the data rate, the channel is still quite narrow and a large portion of

Based on observations of the tones on the waterfall on the air, compared to observing them locally, and hearing the raucous tones compared to bell-like quality locally, my guess is that perhaps the modulation is disturbed or the tones moved in frequency far enough so there is no decoding. If

I don't think you can impute anything meaningful from one set of reports. Normal QSB will make a difference of from several to many dB which can only be averaged out over a period of time. WSPR is much better IMO for this sort of thing. You can leave it running, go and do something

Yes but at UHF there seems to not be enough spread to tolerate the Doppler shift. If the frequencies were further apart, and were received through a wider window, the Doppler would be tolerated better but at what penalty in noise? I can think of a few ways to solve your problem but not with
