Correct. The sync sequence continues un-interrupted; only the data symbols are changed. Let's say the Tx message was changed half-way through, at about t=25s. Data symbols up to that time -- say, 31 of them -- correspond to the first message. The remaining 32 data symbols will be those of the second message. All 63 sync symbols are as they should be for a normal (unmodified) message. Suppose all data symbols in the wrong The signal was pretty strong, so data symbols in the "right" half of the message are nearly all received without error. Those in the "wrong" half nearly all produce a hard error. Still, that's only about 30 hard errors -- so there's a good chance that sfrsd will decode both messages correctly. -- Joe, K1JT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
