FT8 decoding benchmark
2021-06-17


In FT8 (and other digital modes, of course), the number of decodes can vary greatly depending on the software you choose to use, and even more so if you optimize that software. Also, setting your PC's power options to high performance will allow you to take full advantage of the CPU's performance. This is because a CPU with a boost clock function will always be in a boosted state.
Of course, using a high performance PC will also help reduce decoding time.

The software you use is of course up to you. I won't say anything about this because I'm sure you have your own beliefs and there will be repercussions if I mention it too strongly. However, if you benchmark with this file, you will have something to think about. I hope it will give you some hints about software selection, settings, and PC performance. In FT8, if you can't decode, you can't make a QSO. And if the part you can't decode contains a station you want to make a QSO with...

You have seen many times that people with smaller equipment(ex antennas) than yours in the neighborhood are making QSOs with stations that you can' t decode. Even if you have small equipment, depending on your "decoding performance", you may be able to QSO with stations that your neighbors with larger equipment could not decode.

Of course, there may be subtle differences in the surrounding noise level and radio propagation.

Here are the results of my experiment.

I have nothing to say about it.
