Giuseppe, It may appear that RC4 is less sensitive, but that is not true. It is most likely that you are misinterpreting what you are seeing.
The reason you see 90% fewer decodes on RC4 than RC3 is that there are 90% fewer people using RC4 at this point. RC4 cannot be copied by RC3 in FT8. RC3 cannot be copied by RC4 in FT8. RC4 is decoding just fine...there just aren't that many people running RC4 on HF yet. You appear to be attributing causation when there is none. The decrease in decodes has NOTHING to do with the inherent sensitivity of RC3 vs RC4. It has everything to do with the population using each mode. The reason installing and uninstalling didn't change anything for you, is because it shouldn't. It's not the install, it's not the sensitivity of the software. It's cockpit trouble. :-) 73, N0AN Hasan On Fri, Nov 16, 2018 at 6:40 PM M Lewton <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello > > I find this version the most sensitive vs. the older versions.
