It works down to -24 dB. If you push on the button "KVASD decoder" which is a soft-decision Reed-Solomon decoder, you will work down to -26 dB but you will have (very rarely) a false decoding. Good tests! 73 Patrick ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew O'Brien To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2008 9:03 PM Subject: Re: [multipsk_team] Test of JT65 on Multipsk / Essai du JT65 sur Multipsk It works !
