Dear Steve and everyone, r7776 decodes the files as Joe described previously, and seems to successfully decode current on-air signals. (I'm using Ubuntu Linux 17.04 "zesty".) Cheers, Tamas HA5FTL 2017-07-02 18:02 GMT+02:00 Steven Franke : > Ah - I should have RTFM. I am not used to using the

Now that Bill has fixed the memory issue, it would be interesting to see if we get the same DT values from Tamas’ files when running on Windows and OS X. The decodes that I get from r7776 on my OS X machine are the same as I had before: 130800 -7 0.9 1097 ~ EI4KF ES6DO KO27 --

Bill - Thank you for finding this! But I still don’t understand what was wrong with the way that the cx array was sized. Surely the size of the original x array (NMAX real elements) is equivalent to the size of the original cx array 2*(NMAX/2) complex elements... I just did this test (using

For future reference, I’ve attached a plot summarizing the performance of the FT8 decoder in r7775. The 50% decoding threshold is at about -21 dB. These results pertain to an AWGN channel (no fading) and were obtained using .wav files generated by ft8sim. Each .wav file contains 25 signals. A to
