Notes :-

Opera is a free running beacon system , using on/off keying and may be
received by the ‘normal’ SSB-USB data mode reception , feeding
recovered audio to the Windows based decoding software

The Windows package , provides a complete Tx/Rx facility , noting that
the encoded QRG of 114.180 MHz is for the establishment of AD-Hoc
beacons , F5ZAL/B has an allocated QRG = 144.475.500 MHz (usb)

Opera is linked to the PSK-Reporter maphttps://www.pskreporter.info/pskmapn.html
