It would also be very interesting to see if the improved MFSK modes in fldigi works better than in other software, especially when affected by lightning static. My informal tests seemed to suggest not much difference, however, if there was any difference, it might suggest that Multipsk was ever so slightly better.
When I have done some crude comparisons with actual off air tests between different programs, there is usually not a lot of difference but sometimes there may be slight variations where in some modes there will certain characters that are correctly displayed in one program, yet other characters are correct in the other program. Thus it is often a wash (no significant total difference). It did seem that Multipsk had the edge in some of my testing and when I mentioned this to an on the air contact, the other ham was adamant that his testing overwhelmingly showed that HRD/DM780 was the best by far. Sound card calibration differences perhaps? 73, Rick, KV9U David wrote: > Hi Tony.....have you tried fldigi...it is available from > http://w1hkj.com in both Windows XP and Vista as well as Linux..... > it has MT63 500,1000 and 2000 > > 73 David VK4BDJ >
