[VHFcontesting] MSRX: A Meteorscatter Receiver for FSK441 and PSK2k

[Les Rayburn]

I'm interested to hear if other amateurs in the US have experimented 
with the MSRX sofware developed by Klaus von der Heide, DJ5HG. I first 
learned about the sofware in an article published in DUBUS magazine in 
the fourth quarter of 2012. That article outlined how the receive-only 
software could be ran side-by-side with WSJT to improve the ability to 
decode meteor scatter signals.

The article detailed V2 of the software, but I noticed today that Klaus 
has now released V3.4, presumeably with some of the improvements that 
were hinited at in the earlier article. I've only had a little chance to 
experiment with it, but I do know that one key feature is that this 
sofware displays an indicator of confidence that WSJT lacks. In my 
experience it also seems to decode short, weak pings a bit better than 
WSJT.

The sofware can be downloaded at:

No experience here yet with PSK2k, but I hope to try that on meteor 
scatter soon as well. I'd love to hear what others think about this 
software and comparisions of it's performance vs. WSJT.
