Re: LF: ROS

Mal, MF,

OK, I am pleased you tried ROS. Some of my decodes last night of John & Finbar were not even audible in the speaker or visible on the ROS waterfall or SpecLab.

My first encounter with ROS !!

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

I only got one good line strangely from the most distant 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 impressed. I cannot see that I was doing anything wrong since I did get one complete line decode. It takes up a good bit of bandwidth although this is not a problem since there is so little acty on 500.

 

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

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