When the 80 meter band goes long you may be far enough from the FL station so that you can copy OK, but too close to the GA station. If the signal strength was about the same from both stations, then there could be ionospheric conditions that may be affecting the GA signal. Olivia is generally

There is a standard used in instrumentation stuffsort of autovolt on DC. Those devices work on anything from 10 to 30 volts, so it covers at least 12.0, 13.8, 24 and 28 volts. Those devices are NOT inexpensive, and maybe a manufacturer would think a lot to add some regulator inside the two

Hello Bill, According to the Multipsk help, it is -5 dB for the 125 bauds (which is logic for this speed). But -5 dB with a gaussian noise (fix statistical characteristics). 73 Patrick " BPSK125 and QPSK125 Creation: in 2003 Description : Baud rate : 125 Speed : 148 wpm in capital letters

Hello Rick, 1200 bauds is equivalent to 1200 bits/sec as there is 1bit/symbol. 1 letter is worth 8 bits. So in one second, you transmit 1200/8= 150 letters In one minute you transmit: 150*60 or in words: 150*60/6=1500. But as there is an overhead due to adress... 1320 is more realistic. 73 Pa
