Do not confuse FST4 with FT4, which has a very different purpose!
|
||||
FST4 is designed primarily for making weak-signal 2-way QSOs on the
|
||||
LF and MF bands. T/R periods from 15 s up to 1800 s are
|
||||
available. Longer T/R periods provide better sensitivity provided that the
|
||||
combined effects of Tx and Rx frequency instability and channel Doppler spread
|
||||
yield a received signal that remains coherent over the duration of
|
||||
several transmitted symbols. Generally speaking, Rx and Tx frequency changes
|
||||
available. Longer T/R periods provide better sensitivity only if
|
||||
Tx and Rx frequency instability and channel Doppler spread
|
||||
are small enough so that received signals
|
||||
remain phase coherent over periods spanning several transmitted symbols.
|
||||
Generally speaking, Rx and Tx frequency changes
|
||||
during the transmission and channel Doppler spread should each be small compared
|
||||
to the symbol keying rate shown for each T/R duration in Table 7 within section
|
||||
<<PROTOCOL_OVERVIEW,Protocol Specifications>>. For example, the keying rate for the 1800s T/R period is 0.089 Baud, so
|
||||
<<PROTOCOL_OVERVIEW,Protocol Specifications>>. For example, the keying rate for
|
||||
the 1800 s T/R period is 0.089 Baud, so
|
||||
successful operation using this T/R length requires Tx and Rx frequency
|
||||
stability better than 0.089 Hz over the duration of the 1800 s transmission in
|
||||
addition to channel Doppler spread smaller than 0.089 Hz.

A noise blanker can be enabled by setting the *NB* percentage to a non-zero value.

This setting determines how many of the largest-amplitude samples will be
|

blanked (zeroed) before the data is submitted to the decoder. Most users find
|

that settings between 0% (no blanking) and 10% work best. If the noise
|

blanker percentage is set to -1%, then the decoder will try 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 %

in succession. Similarly, a setting of -2% causes the decoder to loop over

blanking percentages 0, 2, 4, ... 20 %. To save time, the multiple blanking

percentages triggered by negative *NB* settings are tried only for signal
