Low power and bad conditions is what this stuff is made for. Last summer I connected with a guy in France that liked testing the different modes. One day we talked back and forth for 55 minutes using Olivia 8/250. He could only get down to 1.5 watts and I managed a half watt indicated and we never dropped a single word both ways.

Voice is cool and preferable, but he speaks bad English and I don't speak any French, except what I learned from Kermit the Frog. With DM-780 and a tab opened to Google Translate, we did fine.
