Hi Andy. Let's say one works with Olivia 1000/32. Olivia sends/receives 7bit ASCII letters. Each 7 bit letter is coded by Walch-Hadamard transformation into 2^(7-1)=64 bits. One of 32 tones modulation codes 32=2^5 combinations, which equals to 5 binary bits. Olivia is spreading 5 7bit letters

The lag is in the software - it's part of the design for the error correction. Where error correction is part of the design then *in general* with Ham modes you have to wait a while before text is decoding is the error correction is applied. The lag is not caused by CPU load. To really

Folks, when Simon was first adding Olivia to DM780 he studied Pawel Jalocha's coding and consulted with him about the correct implementation. The lag noticed in DM780 is reportedly as the Pawel Jalocha intended. What I am looking for is people to get on the air with Olivia and see if the

Interleave is a tradeoff... improved error correction vs latency. If you are going to use a digital mode, as an Amateur, you have a responsibility to learn something about how it works. For the general population, software needs to be idiot proof. This shouldn't be a constraint for software

Well...I guess if you consider that asking reasonable questions in a technical forum to qualify someone as an idiot, it kind of says something about the technical value of your response. Where better to turn in order to learn how it works than a forum like this?? Thanks for nothing.. Curt KU8L

In the December 2008 QST there is an article about Olivia. In that article is a reference to the latency, to me it sounded as if it's part of the protocol. If only some Programs have the latency issue, then the operators using that software should tell the other operator about it in their

Here is my personal experience comparing Multipsk and DM-780 in Olivia 500/16: DM-780 needs significant more time for synchronizing than Multipsk (the first 2 or even 3 or 4 letters of a call are not decoded in DM- 780). I haven't seen any better decoding by DM-780 under S/N figures down to

How are you going to make sense of the variety of MIPS performance across different testers, or are you just looking for trends. A is faster here than B, etc? I run all but DM780--it doesnt like Win2K and my soundcard/machine configuration. Currently running Fldigi--Win, not Linux. Curt KU8L

Sooo. a 500Mhhz machine running at 20% is going to perform the integrations and decoding same delay as a 2 Ghz machine running at 20%?? That seems counter intuitive to me.. I'm sure you're right but I don't understand how that can be. I thought the load information talked about resources not
