I take it you are running two receivers?   Seems to me a software solution is possible. Do we need to do any more than just average the two?  In your example doesn't look like time delays are needed for steering. Mike W9MDB On Tuesday, December 5, 2023 at 09:18:28 AM CST, robert evans

Having used diversity reception techniques as far back as the 70s and knowing it was used in the 40s to improve RTTY reception for mil comms, that improvement is possible. An early technique used 2 coherent R-390As and dual fsk demod unit. The antennas were often of different polarization

All good suggestions. Thank You. Last night.. Double checked everything on the old dell i3 win10 and it started decoding just fine. The thing is, that it is so slow, i loose track of what i did and didn't do when i make changes. And it takes forever to reboot. I keep it around because it

Hi Ben, You mentioned that you have two antennas. What kind antennas you have? Do they have any radiation patterns different from each other? What’s distance between the antennas? In any case you can affect to the noise level by combining two antennas that are at different locations. That beam

2023-12-05 Thread Ben Gelb via wsjt-devel
I have been messing around with WSPR decoding on 630m with a pair of phase-locked receivers and two receive antennas. I have put together some software to save two sets of coherent samples for each 2-minute period, and then after the fact I can combine the two sets of samples w/ a configurable
