This time I checked the redundancy of Olivia-64-2K.  I put a sharp 
digital filter with SDR software in the USB-side. The bandpass I had 
reduced to the limit of an error-free decoding.
The minimum width of a 100% decoding is 800 Hz. (+/- 400 Hz at 1500 Hz 
center)   800 Hz  contain 100% of the information, at 2000 Hz total 
signal width - an incredible redundancy.
Olivia-64-2K is like a turtle, slow but very well protected. ;-)
