Hi Joe, Re the sfrsd program. Please regard this as merely a framework for future development. Nothing in the current code is optimized and I am almost certain that I can do better. I think that it is premature to do any quantitative performance comparisons with KV. I will say that it was very

Hi Joe No, I can't think of any immediate serious applications for fast JT9 for EME either, other than perhaps for very short duration digital contacts between well-equipped stations. I guess the motivation was to understand what was happening with behaviour we did not initally expect - this is

Hi Joe I think we are getting closer to understanding the problem with the JT9 tone shifts Rex and I have been seeing. The issue is, that for operating EME with Doppler control enabled, we have to use Split or Fake it (the latter in my case). Else I get rig control errors. This was the mode you

Hi Steve, I finally found time for a quick look at "sfrsd", your drop-in replacement for kvasd that uses the stochastic Chase algorith. I compiled and ran it on a few test cases this morning, and (as will be no surprise to you) found that it works, and it succeeds in some cases where the hard-

Hi Bill, Thanks for thinking about this. Our computer hosting the WSJT web site does not accept ftp connections. In principle I could host anonymous ftp connections on another Linux machine here; but wouldn't it be almost as good to put a link and package of sample files on the WSJT web site,
