This is not a bug, but rather a feature of current implementation in Windows. The reason is that the encoder's emulator is a separate application and it is not synchronized with the Signal Tool as using the Signal Tool is optional. The time base of the emulator is thus derived using the Windows API timer which is not accurate. Given the intended demonstration use, this does not affect the functionality and keeps the sources tiny. This is the reason why the implementation is marked as experimental. We plan to synchronize the emulator with the built-in Signal Tool (i.e. with the sound card oscillator), but it won't be right away.

Hello,
I have noticed that sometimes groups get sent out 2 times in Readbest.
This is the group sequence I have set: 0A, 14A, 2A, 3A, 0A, 2A, 0A, 12A, 0A, 2A, 0A, 10A, 0A, 2A, 0A, 14A, 0A, 2A, 0A, 1A, 0A, 2A

You can see in the screenshot, that groups get randomly duplicated, even though its not set like that in the sequence.
The contents of these duplicated groups are also always the exact same.
Im using Magic RDS version 4.2.9.
