Tony, Thank you for taking the time to perform the tests. My anecdotal evidence is at odd with these results. So the only way I add value to this discussion is to perform the field test in a more controlled way. Thanks again and best 73s, John --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Tony

Gary, Thank you for the feedback. Using ARQ systems like you did we have also noticed that faster PSK modes show better performance as in less repeat request than slower ones. Your first theory is the one we believe is the most likely contributor for the ARQ links in general benefiting from

Hi Sven, I can only report on one implementation years ago with a Tandy TRS-80 which processor probably had about the same power as an entry level MCU of today. The detection circuit was an analog PLL with a pair of passive filters at the front. It worked reasonably well, with good sensitivity
