400 but it performed moderately well but with some hits on my end.
Are you saying that DEX works better than other modes? Or about the same?
I did quite a bit of NVIS testing of DEX/FEC11 and other speeds too as
my hope was that this would work better than any other sound card mode.

to get through to his end fairly well for much of the time (about 40
wpm). I
