The "official" name for SITOR is NBDP (Narrow Band Direct Printing). San Francisco Marine Radio (Station KSM) transmits press and weather on Saturday afternoons using both RTTY and SITOR My PK-232 decodes SITOR when used in AMTOR mode when I can get a decent signal on their 8 MHz or 12 MHz frequencies. I've given up on NAVTEX (poor antenna). Unfortunately the USCG 8416.5 MHz transmissions fall in the "gap" in K3 coverage. I'm still looking to replace my 35+ year old Kenwood R-5000 Communications Receiver with a more modern one - but no luck so far. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
