How does the crest factor relate to the mean power vs the peak power? It doesn't seem correct to add 3 to that figure to come up with the crest factor. Patrick has the peak and mean power for the various modes listed in the documentation for Multipsk, but I am not clear how to convert them to

Rick, My explanation was for sinusoids not rectangular waves, our radios transmit sinusoids. You are correct about rectangular waves they would have a crest factor of 1 in linear terms or voltage terms, and 0B in non-linear or power terms. Yes MT63 has a crest factor of 13dB. It is very

It in deed would. That is the reason Pactor and Amtor work so well. It's the AQR - even with the hi S/N needed. I got into Amtor in the early days when the KIT BOARD was over 500 bucks. Ask HB9AVK what he thinks of the AQR modes and Amtor in general. Or G3GPS. A lot of us old RTTY'ers played with

Mark, If what you say was true, it would be easy to have sound card modes that compete with Pactor modes. From studies that I have seen, Amtor can work down around zero db S/N. Same with Pactor I. Some claim a bit below 0 db. In fact one recent test claimed that RTTY was better than PSK31 for

Note also in Figure 6, the real world test by using distance on 80 meters daytime. The worst performance was by Amtor, followed by Pactor 1 and closely by PSK31. The best performer was RTTY at these slow speeds and he gives his explanation as why he believes this occurs. It sounds reasonable to

Hi Mark, The ARQ is really important. You really should have this for serious messaging via RF and must have it if you want to interface with a mailbox system or internet. Even one bad character trashes everything when negotiating a menu. Those who are OT's with Amtor know what I mean. I used
