All,
Certainly is remarkable the way Olivia mode performs under adverse
conditions.
Was having trouble decoding VK2PN in PSK31 mode due to the unstable
conditions at the time (selective fading / multi-path).
Switching to Olivia 500/16 fixed the problem. Copy went from marginal
to perfect (see captured text below).
We certainly are lucky as digital ops to have a variety of modes to
choose from. Whether it's rag-chewing or dxing, it's nice to have the
ability to switch to suit conditions.

K2MO de VK2PN roger roger Anthony... Yes the olivia is much more
robust than the psk hi hi
I love Olivia too but there is not as many stations around on this
mode. Still I think, I've tried them all and love the Pactor the most.
But that is even more rare hi hi
Sow is the copy?

RRR Olivia makes quite a difference, throughput 100%. I'm running 20
watts to a 5 element Monoband Yagi by M2 up 18 meters.
