How does the crest factor relate to the mean power vs the peak power? It doesn't seem correct to add 3 to that figure to come up with the crest factor. Patrick has the peak and mean power for the various modes listed in the documentation for Multipsk, but I am not clear how to convert them to

Bonnie, What radio services are we going to interoperate with? Normally this would be illegal operation. Even under emergency conditions, you need to be very careful about transmitting outside the ham bands. Even if the FCC says it could be legal, it may not be legal under other entities

I'm not sure that we can quantify ARQ vs. broadcast. One thing which has been over looked is that we think of ARQ as sending a packet(s) and the receiving station sends an ACK. If however each packet is numbered and contains a CRC number, then if the receiving station misses a packet (missing

Rick, My explanation was for sinusoids not rectangular waves, our radios transmit sinusoids. You are correct about rectangular waves they would have a crest factor of 1 in linear terms or voltage terms, and 0B in non-linear or power terms. Yes MT63 has a crest factor of 13dB. It is very

Hello Rick, the peak and mean power for the various modes listed in the In Multipsk, you have the ratio between the average power and the peak power. The peak power is obtained if you have no band base windowing and if you are always transmitting one carrier at a given time (RTTY, MFSK16...).

Research done by private research firms have addressed this problem. For medium length messages in the broadcast mode, they suggest heavy FEC. For longer messages they suggest less FEC and NAKs. For critical messages of any length they suggest FEC and ACKs. For many receiving stations, they
