It looks to me as though that application requires timing to better than about 10ms, and probably won't benefit much more below about 2.5ms. I'm assuming that they are trying to treat the morse code station ident as though it were a code division multiplexing spreading code. The ident is at 22wpm. 12 wpm uses 100 ms basic units, so 22 uses approximately 50ms units. One wants significantly better timing than that. I note that Faros requires special access to the sound hardware - presumably it only works with real sound cards, not USB ones. It seems to me that you could use any stereo sound card, with very loose scheduling requirements if you fed a PPS signal into the opposite channel from that used for the off air signal, and used that as a timing reference for the off air signal, and to calibrate the sound card sampling clock. As it looks like it is closed source, it would have to be done by the vendor, or it would have to be re-implemented. > http://bifferos.bizhat.com/ Since when has Intel architecture been reduced instruction set. Looks like someone's marketing department has completely devalued RISC! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
