operator can choose the frequency where he transmits
 
Yes  , but  each  end of the  link  needs  to  have the  same  qrg ,  by  convention , the  frequency  coded  in the  software  is  used to  ensure  maximum  chance of  intercept by other stations
 
Operation  could  be  defined  by  carrier  frequency  , using  a  set  BFO  offset , but  'dial set  usb'  is  taken as the  normal  definition , this  was  formulated  at the  start of   wspr   usage , where the  concept of  a  receive  'audio band'   was  introduced , being  simpler to  define the  dial  frequency..
 
casual  intercept is  possible , as  onyl   50% of the  data  is  required  for  a  decode  ( unlike  ROS-MF  data  mode , where  the  sync frame 'must'  be  decoded) but the  search  Rx  must  remain  stable  for the  remaining  duration

Opera experts,

I have a simple question to Opera. If the program keys a PTT of a PA like a CW key and the operator can choose the frequency where he transmits, what is the range of frequencies where a decode can be expected from someone who set his RX to e.g. 477 kHz? Is it a USB bandwidth, so maybe from 300...3000 Hz, i.e. 477.3...480 kHz?? Can i completely free decide where i want to transmit on?
And if someone decides to let Opera choose the transmit frequency in that band (e.g. by using a HF TRX and a transverter), where does the program usually transmit. Is is accidentially oder is the range much more limited?

Hi Graham
 
I have found that if I run 24 Watts no body hears me. If I run one Watt people hear me?? If I boost the 1 Watt rig to 4 Watts same rig people don't hear me...... dohh! It may be RF into the Opera PIC keyer? I will next time try screening the PIC keyer. But the thing is my PC decodes everything.... why?? Any ideas?

TNX FER RPRT
Am now sending op4 on 500 at 1/2 intervals on the hour and 1/2 hour very approx. Can you report please if available will try to keep it on most of afternoon.

Hi all
While you are all testing Graham's theory on optimum band usage could you report my OP4 transmissions. I am using the stand alone PIC 'JNT designed Opera keyer switching my all Valve (Tube for our Cousins) TX.
Power now increased to four (4) Watts O/P from the original 1Watt at the antenna up lead. Antenna up lead abt 40 ft x 128ft long E/W. from IO91UX.
