Hi Dave, Yes, but Olivia 8/500 is slow enough it is frustrating for me. I don't do a lot of 80M NVIS work. I haven't had much trouble tuning MFSK16 but I certainly hear a lot of people saying just that so you must be right. I am usually on 20 meters or 80 with verticals. I did find that Digital Master 780 is 2 to 3 db less sensitive than the better programs for MFSK16 in my hands. Wes, WZ7I
