The other features can be applied as well of course (listing, mapping...). Then everybody would be happy :-) 73, Stefan Am 25.07.2012 19:39, schrieb mal hamilton: > Graham es Co > While Opera es other data modes are an alternative to CW for a change they > need another level of demodulation and cannot really compete with the basic > CW mode or QRSS CW. > I often see traces of all data modes that could easily be identified in QRSS > but they do not decode therefore the purpose of the transmission is lost. > de mal/g3kev > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Graham" > To: > Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 4:07 PM > Subject: Re: LF: 4X OP32 report > > > >> schrieb Stefan, :) >> >> Why do you think so? >> >> Its linked to the DSP engine in Op , there is a timing issue , if >> other applications lock the sound card at a different rate , due to >> the % tolerances , low level decodes can be lost , noting, Op is a >> 'data mode , so the overheads in the transmission are much higher , >> as are the DSP engine requirements , as can be seen with 'older' pc's >> cpu loading can be a issue , as is a one-pass system , all the >> processing is taking place in real time >> >> But on with the show , >> >> 73 -G.. >> >> -76 dB in 28 mHz b/w , what is that when translated to 2.5Khz >> B/w ? >> >> >> >> >> -------------------------------------------------- >> From: "Stefan Schäfer" >> Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 3:08 PM >> To: >> Subject: Re: LF: 4X OP32 report >> >> >>> Am 25.07.2012 15:51, schrieb Graham: >>> >>>> Pity nothing decoded in the US last night , but signal 's in 1500 >>>> /2000 mile range where quite substantial ... >>>> from this , it seems that propagation on 136 is really linked to >>>> > the > >>>> seasons ? >>>> >>> Yes (of course) and no.
