Cortland, We also use it in Region 4, but mostly 1K long interleave. We have used 2k under good band conditions, and the speed is very impressive. We are also experimenting with the text transmission capabilities of Easypal. David KD4NUE

Here in Michigan Army MARS, we usually choose 1000 Hz long for normal training texts, but 2K for larger files.

In actual use, Olivia will do better under worse conditions at a large loss of speed. Contestia attempts to bridge the gap, but MT-63 gives the highest accurate through put at the highest speed before going to an ARQ protocol. David KD4NUE
