Joe, KD8ATU, and I were able to confirm the correct operation of MFSK-8 this evening on 40 meters. He was running MultiPsk at his club station when I heard him call CQ on PSK-31. He must have thought I was lying in wait for him ... I was!
So we ran about an hour of tests in the following modes: Psk-31, MFSK-8, DominoEX-11 and Olivia 8/500. No glitches, no seg faults during the test.
MFSK-8 and DominoEX-11 were about equal in performance as far s/n was concerned. But the baud rate for DominoEX-11 was much faster than MFSK-8. I am a good typist but I put a strain on my finger performance. I personally do not like the sound of Olivia ... stresses my hearing aids. DominoEX is almost musical and pleasant to listen to.
I called CQ earlier in the day on DominoEX-11 and got a HUH response on MFSK-16. A lot of hams do not recognize the sound of dominoex, but I think that will change with time. Probably a good idea to start out in the MFSK mode and then request a shift to dominoex if the other ham can do it.
Enjoy the latest revision Folks
