In my 2009 Olivia qso's the majority of my partners were using DM780 (about 40%), Multipsk (about 30%), FLdigi and MixW more or less equally sharing the remaining 30%.
It's interesting to see that you can predict more or less if somebody is using DM780 or FLdigi: FLdigi is interpreting some uncommon characters like the German Ä (A Umlaut) etc. in a very specific way, and DM780 has the problem that the first characters of a call at the beginning cannot be decoded. Sometimes I have the impression (and that means I cannot say that my observation is really correct) that MixW users show up with a slightly different signal in the waterfall. I don't know if this is not a secondary effect because MixW-users may set up their radio in a different way. Would be interesting if others could confirm this very subjective statement. 73 Juergen, DL8LE 73 Juergen, DL8LE --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Joe Veldhuis <kd8...@...> wrote: > > I use Fldigi for every mode it supports, and MultiPSK for everything else > (except the experimental modes that are only available in a separate program). > > Most of the stations I work report that they are using either DM780, Fldigi > or MultiPSK.
