Hello to all, About S/N here are my measures:
Lowest S/N (125 bauds ARQ FAE in ALE): - 6.5 dB(- 8.5 dB with many repetitions) Lowest S/N (50 bauds ARQ FAE in ALE400): - 11.5 dB(- 13.5 dB with many repetitions) The tests have been done with 30 characters message. The Tony's tests, as far as I remember, were done with 63 characters message (which is more conservative, but the value must be about 3 dB pessimistic compared to 30 characters message). Here are two quick demonstration files, for the ones interested in this mode (with a previous RS ID it is easier to detect): a.. "ALE and ALE400 easy with Multipsk"(MS Word Doc, 1.1 MB) a.. "The ARQ FAE beacon easy with Multipsk" (MS Word Doc, 282 kB) 73 Patrick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jose A.
