We are only 100 years into radio communication ourselves, so even a moderately advanced civilization would be using advanced data compression and spread spectrum teqniques. Spread spectrum can be hard to detect since the power is spread out, so is Boinc only looking for a narrow band power spike ??
Thanks for any info

BOINC isn't looking for anything, it's a managing program. If you're wondering this for the Seti project, then the answer is no. Seti Enhanced (Multibeam) is narrowband, Astrpopulse is broadband. See About Seti and About Astropulse for more information, and if you still need more information, don't hesitate to ask questions at their message boards.

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I was referring to SETI, and as you have pointed out this is the BOINC program. It is now clear to me how the two program/project are separated.
Again thanks for your answer and clarification.
