The part that I don't fully understand is the bandwidth calculation. When I use PSK31, isn't the bandwidth pretty much set by the baud rate and width of the signal? Often it is expressed as around double the baud rate or ~ 60 Hz. Now if I have my rig wide open with the 3.6 kHz bandwidth and tig

I thought about the same. On pactor, the doppler perturbation is 31/100 of the signalling rate, thus, results less affected, even without taking into account the FEC and QRQ strenghts that Pactor also packs along. 73, Jose, CO2JA Vojtech Bubnik wrote: >> PSK31 failed, bad copy even under goo
