[digitalradio] Offsets for digital modes

Paul, When you are on CW, many rigs will have an offset. I have an Argonaut V, and, as you noted, you can set the offset tone for your preference. That way you are zero beat with the other station and yet you can adjust your sidetone to what works best for you. With RTTY, the frequency

That's fine Danny but I'll say it once again just for you - I have no waterfall when I operate RTTY or software or computer or can click on anything. But I can do the math from the dial frequence to spot a mark dial frequency if that would make you happy. Maybe you can click on that. At 06:29

If you are operating AFSK, or have a low end rig that does not do FSK RTTY, then you would need to calculate the numbers as you suggest. Most rigs that are set up for FSK RTTY will read out on the RTTY Mark Frequency, but some will read out on Space, so it does vary between rig designs. Since

In order to use a software version of Amtor, you would need to switch to Linux OS. From what I have read, however, it is not very effective compared to a dedicated box. Amtor had its day, and I operated it with several different types of boxes, but it is fairly slow and can not work into the
