Thank you for your tests and report Wes. The data is very enlightening. fldigi's detector is a simple pre-filter / frequency discriminator with hysterisis. I will build and test alternate detectors and would welcome the assistance of both designers and testers to improve the RTTY decoder in

Thanks for the comments, everyone. An SDR certainly makes the experience in the shack even better. Steve, I do have VAC on my PC but I have not figured out what it does yet, your comments are interesting. AFter 24 hours, I have used my SDR-IQ with CW Skimmer ( amazing with an SDR) , SDR-Radio,

John, The Pskmail group certainly report visible improvements in sensitivity and QRM handling which is expected with the FEC and interleaver but at the price of speed of course. In white noise we see a 4 to 5dB improvement over the same bpsk speed but at 1/2 the data rate. That does seem to

If you are interested in a host mode program try xpwin http://www.glaswerks.com/xpware/ This program has been out of development and support for several years but it works great with the PK-232. Gary has placed it in the freeware domain. Neal - WD4LSS --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com,
