Having found a battered old laptop running XP and with a COM port, I 
started to set up my Opera station yesterday. I could see a good 
signal but spent hours messing about with sound card settings trying 
to get it to decode. Finally I discovered that Opera had changed yet 
again and new (incompatible) modes had been introduced. Grrr!

After reluctantly joining the Yahoo group (yet more emails to read), 
I downloaded yesterday's version (1.1.1) and decoded G4JNT (-4dB), 
PA0A (-14dB) and RN3AGC (-35db at 2120, and all night peaking -21). 
What do those dBs represent? Presumably some kind of SNR.

I am trying hard to support this mode as it suits my station very 
well, but there are many aspects which are very frustrating, which is 
a pity.

I now need to find an adaptor to convert my Tx system's 25-way D plug 
into a 9-way for the laptop. Then I will be transmitting.
