I copied Rick with a SNR of 7.1 on 7166 but no DV. I did hear some
audio from him but it sounded like his Mic was retransmitting his
digital signal rather than his voice, maybe his Mic picking up the
tones from his PC speakers.

Well I was able to print out Andy's fairly long message on 7166 LSB.
Also, could copy message from Tony, KT2Q. Also, worked Tony and KB3MOW
on LSB voice, but no go on DV.
So the text messages don't seem to require all that much signal. Maybe 3

Good point, the WinDRM web site suggest
Suggested Frequencies:
80 Meters:
3.733
That part of the band is listed for "CW, RTTY, DATA" but the usual
convention for digital voice is to use the SSB analog voice frequencies
which would put it above 3750 .
I'll try 3759 for the next few tests.
