Re: [digitalradio] Olivia and other modes, etc.

[Andrew J. O'Brien]

First, I have not used MFSK lately.  However the FEC add-on to this via Olivia seems to make it better in very weak conditions, seems to handle QSB better than plain MFSK.  I also found early MFSK16 application  a tad harder to lock on to that I would like , Olivia is very easy.  Perhaps MFSk16 is easier to tune these days.   Andy K3UK   ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Williams To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 08, 2005 1:47 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Olivia and other modes, etc. Andy (and anyone else of course),   What do you see as the advantages of Olivia compared to MFSK16, which thus far,  I have found to be the best medium wide bandwidth keyboard mode?   On another note, I have tried the MultiPSK program recently and although it is not a finessed program, due to the extreme clutter design, the program does seem to work well.   I was visiting a friend who is a digital guy like me for decades, and he felt that no other program can decode CW as well. Being the skeptic that I am, I tried it and he appears to be correct. It really does work amazingly well in being able to read even fairly difficult fists. Similar to the way a human interpolates the poor timing of some opearators.   On still another note, I keep hoping for development of sound card ARQ modes for serious messaging use that can operate cross platform if possible to reach the necessary critical mass of hams.   73,   Rick, KV9U -----Original Message----- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Andrew J.
