Hi Luis
The gain would be the same , 5 dB , but first it would need to be
added and that's another story ... being dynamic , tx and rx stability
would need to be higher as there is no afc , its possible a much
higher s/n could be achieved , but that would require , complimentary
high-stab hardware , dynamic is configured to use the same as the
opera decoder ...
But, from the 136 Dx fade patterns , its possible OP2 H would
provide medium range DX on 136 , may not on the ultimate 'dx' path ,
which appears to show windows in the 30 min period , OP32 dynamic
may do the job .. but first , need a RX down there !
The s/n measurement hand over Opera > dynamic is linear , s/n average
along the time line

Hi Mike
Op32 with dynamic search is a fantastic tool indeed. Despite of the
"fantastic" false decodes from time to time !
But those can be easily discharged, specially when having local reports of
the Tx station
I made an experiment comparing Op2H (no deep search) with Op32 and it
showed out that both modes perform very similar
The experiment was made transmitting with U3 consecutive frames in Op32
and Op2H. I'm using a mechanically adjustable
vertical antenna so trimmed it down in order to get just a signal hardly
decoded on my monitor QTH at 7Km
It is amazing to check how just a little of vertical antenna height
increase can boost the Tx signal ! :-)
I set the results in an small Excel you can get here

The question is .... What should be expected from a Op2H with Dynamic
Search ??

Well, I am running around 400mW ERP (as stated on my Opera beacon) from a
transmitter with 800W RF output giving 3,2A into an inverted-L 14m high
with 5x14m parallel top wires. Antenna efficiency (assuming 80% tx PA
efficiency) is 0.05%.
I imagine G6AVK is running a lot less - from the reports it must be about
70mW ERP which suggests perhaps 0.1% antenna eficiency. His successes show
how useful Op32 is.in producing reception at 1000km+ with that power
level.

There is a interesting question ..
Two LF stations , quite close , similar times , Colin running
80 watts carrier power..
what power / Ae efficiency difference produced + 7
and +8 dB at the Rx's ?

Just 80 watts , just on the Op32 decode limit , dynamic with 5
dB in hand ?
