David, The thing that I find particularly attractive about WINMOR is that it is an open sound card protocol and it can be used in three forms: 200 Hz, 500 Hz, and 2000 Hz modes. Putting this capability together with its automatic adaptibility for conditions, it may be the break though of the y

The short answer, as Steve Ford likes to say, based on the Cohen paper, is that the "necessary bandwidth" appears to be "roughly" twice the frequency shift, although an exact calculation is obviously very complicated. More importantly, with regards to the amateur radio service is the summary st

Thanks, Bonnie. According to the formulae presented in table 2 on page 49 of the document you cite below, binary (2-tone) FSK with a maximum shift of 1 kHz and a maximum symbol rate of 300 baud would require a maximum bandwidth of 2011 hz. for any practical modulation index (i.e. less than 20).
