Hi Gabriel and ALL To avoid confusions will be nice if we specified MAP65 or
MAP65-IQ in our references, and not simple MAP65 for both softwareâs. ÂMAP65 works with adaptive polarization and MAP65-IQ not, to
avoid confusion regarding the software version is good to start from the beginning
making clear differences between both version, in essential both works decoding
JT65 BUT MAP65-IQ is the little brother for single channel IQ receptors when
MAP65 is for dual RX IQ channels with Adaptive polarization. 73 de Alex, HB9DRI From: linrad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[mailto:linrad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gabriel - EA6VQ Yesterday I spent several hours playing with the new version r1102,
and using the default configuration of Linrad provided with that version.
This is the first time I have managed to decode signals using MAP65 and I must
say the first impression is excellent, however I have noticed several things
possibly not working as good as I could expect, at least with my
setup: First, the signal levels reported for the selected frequency are
between 3 and 5 dB weaker than with WSJT6. I was running MAP65 and WSJT6
in parallel and I could see that difference for all signals. When a signal is,
for instance, -22 dB in WSJT6, the same signal is between -25 and -27 dB
in MAP65. When the band is noisy the difference is smaller (might be 1 dB
weaker in MAP65), possibly because of the excellent noise blanker of Linrad. Also, weaker signals (-28 to -30 dB in WSJT6) are not decoded at
all in MAP65 (and they are in WSJT6) Additionally, the reception of MAP65-IQ suddenly stops. The
waterfall display does not update and the program doesn't decode, although
apparently it continues receiving data from Linrad (at least it does not show
"no data" or so). When I double click on the waterfall it
starts receiving again. This has happened at least 5 times in about 2
hours. Finally, near the moonset the band was really noisy and I noticed
that some signals that were clearly visible in Linrad's waterfall were not
visible at all in MAP65's waterfall, and it did not decode them either.
Anyway this was only in very noisy conditions, due to power lines. (Joe,
I have some screenshots of these last 2 situations, and I will E-Mail them to
you) 73. Gabriel
