Re: LF: OPERA - why it's less data than normal CW ?

[Andy Talbot <andy.g4jnt@gmail.com>]

Until I deleted every last trace of the software after discovering it
was sending IP packets, I had started analysing the Tx sequence to see
if it made any sense

For any given sub-mode, the Tx slots are all equal length, so allocate
a 0 and1 to each Tx state.
If you do an autocorrelation on the resulting sequence, (by XORing a
delayed version of the pattern with itself) some interesting longer
sequences show up - always an even number of 1's' and 0's' for
example.
It almost has a vague Manchester Coding feel to it.

But all analysis is stopped and will permanently stay so until a
version appears that will not send IP packets.
It was much easier to 'crack'  WSJT coding - just a case of reading
the source code :-)
