Hi Pete, can you hear them well on other modes? What receive antennas are you using on 80? Do you have Beverages or K9AYs or similar aperiodic loops, or e-field probes or something? Do you have a noise blanker enabled? (best disabled) Are you getting desense from loud signals? Can you see their signal clearly in the waterfall?
It's fun to try multiple decoder programs in parallel to compare performance, but if you are using the same power as them and have as good a receive system and your PC clock is absolutely accurate, using Meinberg or similar NTP sync, and your rig isn't running AGC or blanking or nose refuction, and the levels are set to about 30 dB on the wsjt-x receive indicator on band noise, and you have no desense and aren't seeing the indicator going up too high, then you should be OK. Do you generally hear as well as folks in your area on 80 metres? You will need to run the two decoders in parallel using virtual audio cable to prove whether one program is better than the other. I've rarely seen any differences, it's almost always time sync, agc, rx audio levels, or the lack of a high performance receive antenna system that wrecks LF digimode performance. Best of luck with your experiments!
