Hi Jurgen.
The answers are:
*+"yes, it is worth to do some personal testing with standard radio and
the DL4RCK RTTY skimmer"
(That's why it's made for.)
* "no, the DL4RCK RTTY skimmer seemed to me not to have the same amount
of wrong CQ - DE false detection"
(Having done some contesting over year, maybe the digital squelch, maybe
several fringe signals, but now it is worst then before.)
About the second sentence why not to do what you ask at first?

Subject: [RTTY] rckskimmer, still worth setting up?

Hi,
the nearest station skimming for the digital modes is some 600km away
from here. So I was thinking of setting up a modest skimmer station for
the digital modes here locally.
I still have some questions though:
* I have most of the gear I need to run RCKskimmer (old transceiver
etc). Is it still worth to run RCKskimmer or is it a waste of time
and resources to set everything up? I don't know yet if I want to
spend ?800+ to purchase an SDR receiver.
* does RCKskimmer have the same problem with separating the
'DE-stations' from the 'CQ-stations'?
What do you guys think?
