Re: [amsat-bb] PSK 31 on AO-40

["Rick Vidmar - K9KK" <k9kk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have run PSK31 on AO40 successfully.
My program, TruTTY, has a built in AFC.  Maybe that's why, but I would think
that all the programs do ???.  The only problem I've had is when RUDAK was
turned on and produced a warble in the L1 receiver.  L2 did not have the
warble problem.  Hopefully I don't have that backwards :-)

I am gearing up to do some PSK-31 testing via AO-40, and it sounds like I
am chosing to do it at the worst time (bad sun angle))...  For those of us
that dont keep up on a daily basis, I wonder if someone has simply posted
a bell curve of link performance versus offset angle?  I guess it should
just be the inverse of the low-gain antenna plot...



Hello Bob.

Just a thought, but the comments I've seen regarding PSK31 is that it's very
hard to keep the RX tuned accurately enough to decode on AO-40. - Due to
doppler.
If you find thereis a problem you could try some tests using the new
PSK63.........It should double the speed but also be 100% more tolerant of
the doppler.
