Sorry, my error. Working for the military has jaded me abit...the term "standard" I took to mean an imposed criterion. I do agree with you as to "whatever works"; that is part of the fun...seeing what works better. And yes, I have learned to discern the mode via the waterfall apperance..took som

A major consideration of the various Olivia modes on the lower bands is baud rate. If you have good conditions, the 62.5 baud rate should be OK much of the time, however it is somewhat above the 45 baud rate that was experimentally determined to be a cut off point with some ionospheric condx. I

I think (and that alone surprises a few) that perhaps a "convention" rather than a "standard" is at question. I tend to use various combinations based on conditions in addition to those mentioned (often 4/500 and 8/250). I understand the difficulty of discerning what mode is in use, especially b
