Hi Paul, Alex, VLF,
Paul, thanks for working out the decode and timing problem, good work.
Alex, i don't know if this is just a PC time problem. At least what i
can recommend is to control the PC clock by SpecLab! ...because there
is no internet access in the garden. Not sure if you are already using
this function.
Make a right click on the SpecLab icon, select properties and enable
"start as administrator".
Disable the time sync (from a time server) function in windows.
Now when starting SpecLab, you need to confirm that the program will be
started with admin privileges.
Since you are using a GPS module which provides PPS+NMEA, SpecLab knows
the accurate time.
Open the GPS receiver function and enable the function "periodically
synchronize PC's system date/time with data from GPS".
Before doing this, take a look on the value from "Current measured
difference (System -GPS time): w.xyz sec".
After enabling the function, this value should be in a range of 0.00x
sec.
On the cope function of the Samlping rate Correction, what does the PC
and EC show, or what is the ratio EC/PC? It should be less than 5%
maybe.
Maybe it helps...
73, Stefan

I got a successful genuine decode of the 4-char message
from Alex's file
ebnaut06_MAY_0136_8270-1pps.wav
Eb/N0 = 0.0 dB, constant reference phase
carrier S/N: 13.62 dB in 31.2 uHz,
-31.43 dB in 1Hz,
-65.41 dB in 2.5kHz
The decode needed a time offset of +1001 seconds
which doesn't agree with difference between the WAV
timestamp and the start of the message. Something
wrong with the clock at the RX site?
Alex, try the decode again,
Symbols: 40.0
Message length: 4
Start offset: 1001
List length: 100
Now I go look at the 2-char....
