Hi,

Just want to point out that, last time I tested them, the 4FSK waveforms (FreeDV 2400A, and 800XA) work just fine - unmodified and without a scrambler.

800XA is being used by people over the air - in fact I'm working with some UK Hams on exciting high power experiments using simple and compact Class E amplifiers. There is a lot of link margin possible compared to OFDM waveforms through linear PAs.

Now 800XA is a FreeDV GUI mode that anyone can run ..... pls feel free to try it.

Two years ago Brady ran 2400A (using a 4FSK modem) on the SM2000 prototypes which use the stm32 - Glen IIRC you were in the Gipstech audience :-)

So what we have is:

  i) Code that works on the x86 platform
  ii) Code that doesn't on the stm32

This suggests a porting issue to me. Steve - happy to work with you on a series of unit tests to take us from x86 FreeDV API cmd line test programs to working code on the stm32. It is possible there is some corner case that we are missing, if so some careful unit tests will show that up.

Cheers,

David

Yes. You can't see it on the FreeDV spectrum display, as that display is filtered and averaging. But I'm sure an oscillator or two disappears.

This particular scrambler resets itself every frame. It has a starting bit pattern. So every modem frame starts-off with the same value, and is only 64 bits long (two codec frames). So errors may only be 80 ms in length, before the next modem frame.

The additive scrambler for HORUS was taken out of wikipedia

1+x^{{-14}}+x^{{-15}}

    The downside of most scramblers (I dont know what is used here) is that
    you can get error propagtion in a scrambler.
