My first encounter with ROS !!

After installation it seemed to run well but no = signals=20 for some time although I could both see them and hear some of them on = the=20 waterfall.

I only got one good line strangely from the most = distant=20 station in the Shetland Is, the rest I could not get a = decode.

The programme crashed 3 times as well so I am = not really=20 impressed. I cannot see that I was doing anything wrong since I did get = one=20 complete line decode. It takes up a good bit of bandwidth although this = is not a=20 problem since there is so little acty on 500.

on the other hand WSPR never crashed when I used = it for RX=20 only, it does not always decode either even when the signals are quite = strong.=20

While it is interesting to experiment with = different modes=20 I still think QRS at a suitable speed or DFCW is probably better = especially for=20 a QSO on the lower frequencies like LF es MF
