EasyPal uses DRM so there are multiple subcarriers and its facsimile as it displays an image on the screen so J2C seems appropriate. The FCC definition of facsimile allows the image to be stored in a file before or after transmission without affecting the emission designator. If it is used to transmit a file that it can't display then the third symbol might have to change to D but the FCC probably doesn't care at this point as it allows data in broadcast TV transmissions and RTTY mixed with voice transmissions in the land mobile radio service.

What puzzle me are the several data carriers that I see on the waterfall. Not considering the bandwidth we can omit the first part For the first could be anything (type of modulation of the main carrier) like J, F, G, or even in special cases M, K and Q. Now the hard part, the second numeral. (nature of signal(s) modulating the main carrier) No modulating signal 0 FALSE A single channel containing quantized or digital information without the use of a modulating sub-carrier 1 FALSE A single channel containing quantized or digital information with the use of a modulating sub-carrier 2 MAYBE A single channel containing analogue information 3 FALSE Two or more channels containing quantized or digital information 7 DON'T KNOW Two or more channels containing analogue information 8 FALSE Composite system with one or more channels containing quantized or digital information, together with one or more channels containing analogue information 8 MAY BE (because we are also using the waterfall pictures in analog, and files in digital) Now the third letter (type of information to be transmitted) No information transmitted N FALSE Telegraphy - for aural reception A FALSE Telegraphy - for automatic reception B FALSE Facsimile C FALSE we are transmitting files (wav,txt,and so on) Data transmission, telemetry, telecommand D MAY BE Telephony (including sound broadcasting) E FALSE Television (video) F FALSE Combination of the above W FALSE This is only for the first 3 letters missing the others two letters for additional information Any help or comments ??
