For some reason the results i get from ebnaut are different depending on
signal bandwidth. For Stefan's latest 2970.1Hz transmission it is better
to use 10Hz sample rate than 240Hz:

With a couple of previous transmissions the result was better with 240Hz
than with 10Hz. Not much of a difference, but this is the reason i've
always used 240Hz.
Paul, any idea why there is a difference, and how to determine the best
sample rate?
