For Picospace fights the normal mode usually is one of these:
– RTTY
– DominoEX
– Olivia

RSID (Reed-Solomon Identification) is also normally used to automatically identify and setup the mode and centre frequency.

Quick guide:

  • Configure Soundcard input and Location
    Configure/Sound Card
    Configure/Operator
    DL Client/Location/Stationary Listener

  • Configure RSID
    DL Client/ID->Detector searches entire passband

    Notes

  • If RSID is enabled no manual configuration is required.
  • For Olivia RSID resets the Manual settings, so from time to time you might prefer to turn off RSID to keep the manual settings. This is generally useful in marginal signal scenario.
