After years of supporting using true RF frequency for PSK31, I have given up, because too many people still get confused trying to calculate the true RF frequency. So for our net, I now say, Set your transceiver dial frequency to 144.144, USB, and net control will be at 1500 Hz tone frequency,

Craig, The sideband selection in RTTY may depend upon your choice of software when using AFSK. Some of the authors just set everything up for USB for all modes and the software actually converts it to the opposite tones as if you switched sidebands. Originally, when equipment was modified for

I am trying to identify a signal heard often lately on 20 meters around 14076-14078. It is a multitone (probably 16 tones), and occupies approx 200 hertz bandwidth. The tones occur singly (sequentially) and at a slower rate than MFSK-16.? Transmission lengths appear to be consistent with a

Your software is running inverted so that it comes out correctly. By the original definition 2125 Hz. was the MARK tone and it was the higher of the two RF frequencies. Since the SPACE tone was a higher audio frequency (2295 for 170 Hz. shift) LSB was necessary to make it the lower RF

That'll be JT65A. The primary software package to use is WSJT, available here: http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/ I understand that later versions of MultiPSK also support the mode, but I haven't tried it. Mike N5UKZ see...@aol.com wrote: I am trying to identify a signal heard

[digitalradio] Specification of Frequency

To me the most basic and straight forward way is to specify the actual radio frequency you will be radiating (on idle-tone if any is used in that mode). So all that is needed is this figure followed by (RF), and for some modes whether USB or LSB if side-band sensitive. e.g. 7.0350 MHz (RF) USB.

Thanks, I kind of figured it out myself. There was a QSO I was listening to later, which switched from PSK to MT63. However, I could not get a decode after they switched. I'm using DM780, and try as I might, carefully adjusting the trace back and forth to try to center it on the signal, I could
