I think I will stake a claim for inventing the align or center command that Rog attributes to such programs as MixW and PSKD. Back in the very early days of PSK31 I was working wih a group of people beta testing Bob Furzer's Zakanaka. In a flurry of email exchanges with Bob one night, I said

I'll apologize in advance if this is off-topic, but everyone on this reflector has always been very helpful, so it seemed a natural for this... I have a nice HTX-100 10 meter, 25 watt SSB/CW transceiver in good working order, that I would like to trade for a working TNC. I'm primarily interested

A somewhat off the current chain of thought...but what burns up the finals in your transceiver with a high crest factor mode? Is it the peak power or average power? In SSB I can have a peak power of 100 watts output over an epoch but the average power over an epoch is maybe 10-15 watts and

A friend of mine built one of those XR2211 demodulators...it did not work very well on the real HF world. He left it aside and Hamcom with just a 741 squarer performed better than that. I built something inspired on the AN-93, but not a copywonderful ! It had two active filters, full wave

Rich and group, I have read from the SCS website that there is still throughput with P2 and especially P3 when down to maybe as low as -16 db below noise. Others have claimed that Pactor 2 and 3 drastically drop off by the time you reach -5 db S/N such as KN6KB's RFfootprints powerpoint on

Please allow my 2 cents worth. KN6KB in his presentation of SCAMP to the DCC a couple of years had a slide that showed where he measured P III with a channel simulator from KC7WW. I showed that around -5 dB SNR there was still something in the area of 200 WPM throughput. I believe that you

Well, without measuring anything on a path simulator, P III works very well. Uses most of the good tricks on P II, like convolutional encoding (sort of FEC) Viterbi (maximum likelyhoodi.e. minimum repeats) decoding, and some clever speed change strategies. P III improves in modulation,
