Tnx Eddie,
I was setting up to see if i
could monitor Willem. could see him via twente but
he was running mf-7 , which is not as sensitive as mf-1 , that was
a test at 100 watts , decoded that via twente at
mf-1 , no decode at mf-7 , may try later on , see if
can work x-band to 80

MF1 ROS is 0.837053 symbols/second. If you
can decode at -33dB (presumably in the reference bandwidth of 2.5kHz)
that's +1.7 dB S/N in a symbol bandwidth, that in the case of
16FSK with Viterbi
Decoder is possible.
ROS calculate S/N for
100Hz, after tx , show's S/N for an equivalent system of
2500Hz >> CANCEL> -36 dB <<

MF1 ROS is one symbol per
second isn't it. If you can decode at -33dB (presumably in the reference
bandwidth of 2.5kHz) that's -1dB S/N in a symbol bandwidth.
Which I'm not sure I can believe. FSK with good Feed Solomon, or
whatever, FEC needs 2 - 3dB S/N.
Is the S/N calculation
being a bit optimistic? The calculation in WSJT / WSPR gives an
artificially high S/N value if the input bandwidth is restricted below a
complete 2.5kHz's worth, and if impulsive noise is present. So could ROS
be suffering some similar effect?

Just a couple of

Hi LF,
My ROS MF-1 beacon is
transmitting now with 3 minute timer.
Frequency is 137.500 kHz
(dial 136.500 kHz USB), reports & QSO attempts very
welcome.
