Its all  down to  power S ..  the  bigger the  signal  (rx end) the  faster  you  can go
 
with the  'very' long   qsb  , the  interleave   (FEC)  time  has to  be  able to  bridge  the  gap  in the  signal , so  you  will  always  have a  long  , start  and  finish time , for  any  robust  mode
 
amtor-fec may  offer  a  better  link , but  again  , there  is a lock up time  and  s/n  level is  higher that  the multi  tone modes
 
unfortunately  there  is  no  way   round the  power/range /time  aspect

Hi Eddie, LF/MF,

I'm a bit confused in the last days by the number of various digimodes which have been tested. Gary started with RTTY which is fun and allows real QSOs on 630m, apart from CW. But if each mode is done as a short test to check its performance, then it quickly becomes boring. What i would like to have is a mode which is used by several active amateurs, a real QSO mode like CW. A mode that lasts longer than a day. I thought that AMTOR-FEC could be useful but i didn't make any tests yet. However if i have to assume that there will be 2 or 3 interested QSO partners who will be available for a short test QSO and then QSY to GADFDSMSFASKMDKFK-4 or whatever, then none of these modes are actually interesting for me and i come back to CW where i can be sure to find a QSO partner without announcing my activity before. Today, tomorrow, next week and next year :-)

What do you suggest? :-)

PS: And where is Mal? :-)

Just a little more signal and this would have been a really good QSO over our path of 127Km conditions are not good tonight, my antenna current is down.

Searching for a Narrow Keyboard QSO mode suitable for QRP on 630m. I went back to a program I used several years ago.

Currently Testing GMFSK not to be confused with gMFSK which is a Linux program.

GMFSK is an FSK Mode using Varicode by JE3HHT Makoto Mori included in MMVari.not new program it is of the usual high standard found in his software.

GMFSK has variable width, currently I am running at 15.625Hz wide. 474.200 Dial 1900 tone frequency.

JE3HHT provides fine documentation with his software, for some reason all the other modes covered by MMVari are well covered but when h
e gets to GMFSK he says that it is beyond the scope of the instructions. I have yet to find more details about the mode.

This Mode should be better than RTTY and faster MFSK for higher power stations too.
