ALE Comparison: PC-ALE vs. MultiPSK

Tuned on 18003 kHz around 07:30 UTC in Germany (April 15th, 2011), this video shows three type of ALE signals: faint with selective fading from Alaska, strong from Italy, and fair from Diego Garcia. Both decoders behave a bit different towards the first signal. 73 Nils, DK8OK

... it's not a case of "like" or "dislike" - it's purely observing the performance under demanding conditions, especially selective fading. IF filters in an analogue receiver can (but not must) have an influence. My experience is: there is not the one and only "best" decoder for all modes. I experienced considerable differences at some real DX. 73 Nils, DK8OK

I just set up PC-ALE. Of that, and MultiPSK, which do you like better, and why? I've yet to hear anything with PC-ALE. I'm using a Kenwood TS-570DG.
