Joe, Reporting on results of this evening’s tests on -24db gaussian noise no-fading (gnnf) data. As always in these tests, the number of test files is 1000.
I started with sfrsd2 from the current r5970 and opened up the acceptance criterion to nhard+nsoft<81. The purpose of doing this is to find out how many potentially good decodes are in the set of candidates that are presented to the decoder. I ran this sfrsd2 in rsdtest using matched sf metrics and sf gnnf erasure probabilities. I used your s3_1000.bin file. ntrials ngood 0 5 1 26 10 206 100 511 1000 736 10000 854 + 3bad I’d call this very good performance. Next, I dropped the sfrsd2.c that was used with rsdtest back into the current wsjt-x, which I set up to use 10000 trials. I zero’d the ntest threshold. Using the sf metrics and using my batch of -24db files, I get only 735 decodes - about the same as I was getting with ntrials=1000 in rsdtest. So this seems to support my notion that something may not be completely right with the syncing or final peakup of dt and f0, or some other thing upstream from demod64a in this latest version. Maybe the next step should be for me to drop the same sfrsd2.c into whatever version you used to generate the s3_1000.bin file. Do you remember what version that was?
