I <br>only operate my it on my home cpu, a bizarre collection of boards from <br>the past. I would recommend that you simply fire up WSJT-x with the <br>Signal-link, and set up MSK144. Click on MSK144 under the MODE tab, a <br>T/R of 15s, FTOL of 200. With the decode tab set to normal, I see about <br>20-24% of my cpu as being used by this program. That number is easily <br>seen on the bottom left box, showing "Receiving xx%". Then switch the <br>decode tab to deep. Mine then moves to 35 to 40%. So the program does <br>push a cpu. And several folks have indicated that their laptops can't <br>handle it. So try it. We are too close for MS for the most part, but <br>this MSK144 modes works really well for extended ground wave. I'm <br>curious to see how well it works for E skip.<br><br>I'm very new to meteor scatter. I am running around 450-500 watts with a <br>KPA500, driving that with a K3. I am using a simple 5 element beam up 50 <br>feet, in a very poor location, maybe 40 feet above the Grand River water <br>level. What really drives one crazy is where on E skip you always point <br>the beam AT the station. With MS you have to guess where the meteors <br>are. The experienced guys told me from Michigan to either point to the <br>SE and then transmit on the even sequence, or point SW and transmit on <br>the odd sequence.<br><br>I would love to experiment with this mode across the state. As I am <br>typing this, Erv, K8EB just had a QSO with ND0B in North Dakota.
