ine throughput would suffer when signals are weak. The
1/4 and 1/8 speed modes have better sensitivity, but they are slow.
It does appear to have better stability than say PSK31 when signals are
severely distorted; at least that seems to be the case with polar path
simulations (see below).

That would be interesting. It might be difficult to test systems like this
