We all have out opinions. 2.4 KHz is well within the 3.0 KHz bandwidth. The desire of Hams to operate on top of another station is another reason for serious consideration of NTIA spectrum for reliable communications and the discipline necessary to conduct them. MARS still handles some MARSGRA

I still believe the decoder may be improved in two ways: 1) Better frequency and time resolution of the decoder. In worst case Pawel's decoder will be 1/4 of frequency and time spacing off. While his code is efficient for initial locking, it may lock more precise after initial sync. I believe this

Hello Andy, The Multipsk code is not better than the Pawel's design. If I had to rewrite the code, I would prefer to use the Pawel's design because it is simpler. Simply when I wrote it, I was used to do this way (as with MFSK16, PSK31...) and moreover, I had doubts about the precision of a dou
