Re: [digitalradio] PSK-ROBUST - Path Simulation Results vs field tests

John, The first thing that comes to mind is whether there were any ground wave signals mixing with sky waves during your field tests? It's been shown that NVIS throughput can fail when the sky wave echoes interact with ground waves. The sky waves take more time to arrive at the receiver so

Hi Tony, Thank you for the information. This is the issue with field tests, there are always several variables. I will proceed with some other field tests, trying to eliminate some of the variables. In my case I have an inverted V on 40 and 80M at only 9 meters peak over the ground for the

I have done several tests with DA5UWG on 80m, and the 200 km path still shows lots of multipath. Both antennas are low (mine is a full wave 80m loop at 10m, DA5UWG has a dipole at 12m). Sometimes the mode goes up to PSK500 for a few frames, but it always switches back to PSK500R, PSK250R or

Rein, what is the cause of the 1700hr heaviest multipath? Is that a ionospheric condition of some peak airport traffic issue ? Andy K3Uk On Fri, Apr 2, 2010 at 7:35 AM, Rein Couperus r...@couperus.com wrote: I have done several tests with DA5UWG on 80m, and the 200 km path still shows

Your question is one that I have also. In our recent NVIS testing with fldigi/flarq we found BPSK250 provided better throughput than other modes we tested, and most notably MFSK32 which we thought would be our safe, robust mode. This was with a variety of band conditions including strong

greetings etc little problem. have an older buxcomm comport/audio isolator dongle. it is wired for rts high to key rig, and have verified this with multipsk software and works fb on two different computers one xp other win7. when i try to use it with easypal, it will not key, it instead
