What do you have in mind? > 73 André N4ICK Well, there has been considerable success with Gs being received in Canada and the US using 30 - 60 second dot speeds when faster rates failed. Assuming you have some reasonable data on reception with 3s dots, how about reducing the speed to see how your range improves? Argo will cope with 90s dot lengths, so anything up to that would do.
