Had a late night connection with VE5MU on 80 meters. While it would not have been possible to maintain the link in the summer evening QRN levels, it worked fairly well with pushing the power levels up to close to 50 to 100 watts. The throughput is quite good at around 100 to 150 wpm I think when the flow is maximum and not too many ARQ repeats.
This mode operates very similarly to Clover II and I think works better (although 4 times wider) than Clover II did. USB and LSB I think could be used. You can set the passband to a fixed tone edges or variable with the options menu. 73, Rick, KV9U Demetre SV1UY wrote: > >Hi Patrick and group, > >Thanks a lot for the brief explanation.
