Vojtech and Patrick thanks you for the reply. I effectively didn't realize synchronization was so critical too. Interesting. Just a comment/question to both, since you are both developers of widely used programs (and I take this opportunity to thank you both for that), I discovered the THOR mode

There is a basic outline of THOR at: http://www.w1hkj.com/FldigiHelp/Modes/THORdesc.htm Perhaps someone can help us understand the difference between THOR and DEX/FEC (Domino EX with FEC). Aren't they very much the same concept, or is there a design difference? 73, Rick, KV9U Patrick

Hi John. 1. I noticed that although most PSK31 signals I receive are showing the two phase positions as displayed on the scope at 180 degrees, some are consistently at less angle than that, typically down to about 135 degrees. When I say consistently I mean it is obviously not just a

Thanks, Simon! It makes sense that if the native speed is 48K, any other speed would require some type of conversion. One more question, if I can impose on your good nature! What impact, if any, does the error in sampling rate have on any TX/RX offset? During the Tara Rumble I noticed that
