Hello Phil,
According to my measures (under gaussian noise), PSKFEC31 has a minimum S/N of
-14.5 dB (2.5 dB better than PSK63F) but the speed is twice weaker (28 wpm).
It includes a FEC system (bit based) which permits to have a more robust mode
than PSK31 (about 5 times less errors than
Patrick,
Thank you for the information.
If throughput is one the metrics for this comparision then I clearly see
your point.
The argument of reduced character set in PSKFEC31 is a little difficult as
it looked like Tony was not considering that particular metric as his
comparsion include RTTY
