Hi,

Yes, Paul thanks for your comments.

Riccardo IW4DXW made some tests also today.
First of all he solved a small bug in the math of the PIC leading his frequency out of 0.01 Hz.
Then he made some transmissions on 478460.00 Hz  using down to 0.4 W (abt 1 mW ERP) and i got his messages several times  (QRB = 650 km).

This is the last:

EbNaut looks very promising also in MF !

IW4DXW will complete his receiver in few time. Maybe he will be ready for a QSO in the week-end.Hope that Markus and other operators can join the tests on MF.

All the best.

Nice work!  Well done to Riccardo for getting the coherent
transmission working.

The timing looks good and with the signal available, it'll
probably do 0.1 second symbols easily.  I don't have
anything available to receive coherently at MF so cannot
join in the fun.  Perhaps someone can recommend a suitable
SDR that I can clock from a 10Mhz GPSDO?

Here I'm still working on CRCs and ploughing through the
math to calculate code performance.  Even with knowledge of
the complete weight spectrum of the code, it is proving to
be immensely difficult but I'm making some progress.

The version of EbNaut now on the website has a selectable
CRC length and some improvements that I mentioned a week
ago, but I recommend staying with 16 bit CRC for now.
