Ralph, A group of us were beta testing a brand new mode for NBEMS on HF, especially designed to survive extremely high, almost continuous, levels of static (such as follows a hurricane). One station was in Florida, one in Alabama, one in Georgia, and one in South Carolina. We were on 3854,

Hi Rick, FYI, our tests last night indicate that MFSK16 still copies the best at low S/N, but only when there are no static crashes, but DEX16 or DEX11 have much fewer errors when there are static crashes. The problem with MFSK16, as you found, is the mistuning tolerance. For messaging, when

The problem with knowing where to tune any signal can be solved completely by use of RS ID (as in MultiPSK, PocketDigi etc). It amazes me we have had this technology for over a year now and very few people seem to realize the potential of this. Even with s/n ratios down around -15dB MultiPSK

Hi Mark, I think G3PLX recently mentioned the same thing, with regard to USB sound cards, as he found they have the biggest offset problems. However, in dealing with the masses, if we can find a way to nullify the offset's effect long enough to complete the ARQ transfer, it will work with

Andy, Video ID is nice but when sent horizontal it has a very low average power so won't work well in poor conditions. The RS ID is sequential MFSK and will have 100% power. Also the Video ID doesn't automatically tune in your software. In MultiPSK it is possible to use both types of ID
