Hi Richard,

that probably should be 174 codeword bits, I believe that's the correct 
term for the information carrying bits plus the parity bits. I have made 
a suitable change to the description.


Thanks for spotting and reporting the error.

[wsjt-devel] 1.8.0-rc1 User manual: FT8 protocol description

2017-08-10 Thread Richard Lamont
Hi all,

Looking at Section 16.2.1 of the rc1 User Manual, it says in the first
sentence that there are 75 information bits and 174 channel symbols.
(Later in the paragraph it says there are 79 channel symbols.)

AIUI, this should be 75 payload bits, 174 information-carrying bits and
79 channel symbols.

73,
Richard G4DYA
