ALL: A LITTLE REMINDER ABOUT TXING DIGITAL VOICE...
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE ALC DEFLECTION AT A MINIMUM WITH WINDRM. DO NOT OVERDRIVE YOUR RIG OR AMPLIFIER AS THIS WILL CAUSE THE SNR TO DROP. ONCE THE SNR GOES BELOW THE THRESHOLD (ABT 8DB) THE MODE WILL FAIL REGARDLESS OF HOW STRONG YOUR SIGNAL IS! A SIGNAL STRENGTH OF S9-PLUS WITH AN SNR OF ONLY 6DB SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING. IT IS NOT THE MODES POWER REQUIREMENT CAUSING THE DECODE FAILURE, IT'S THE NONLINEAR TRANSMIT SIGNAL. TONY KT2Q
