[digitalradio] 188-110B

2006-09-02 Thread Mark Miller
After reading the spec at http://tracebase.nmsu.edu/hf/standards/MIL/188-110B.pdf I see from a high level how the fixed frequency modem works. Table XIX in the document gives a great summary. I have taken a snapshot of that table an posted it at

Bob, Didn't you do the software development for this modem to run under Linux back in 1999 or so? Whatever happened to it and how would something like this perform on say, 6 meters where I would expect you could use it? If amateur radio did get permission to use high baud rate modems on HF

This standard may be found at http://tracebase.nmsu.edu/hf/standards/MIL/141Bn1.pdf . The single frequency modem is 8FSK running at 125 baud, 3 bits per symbol, 375 bits per second. A word is 24 bits. 3 bits are preamble, 21 bits are 7 bit characters. Each 24 bit word is encoded into a Golay

[digitalradio] Packet Baud Rate

2006-09-02 Thread Mark Miller
I went searching in my archives for some testing that was done in May of 2002 with Packet on HF using different Baud Rates and shifts. MixW has the capability of setting custom Baud Rates and Frequency shifts. Looking through my notes I noticed that we started with 100 Baud and a 60 Hz shift.

To be honest, using a high speed baud rate modem on HF and then encoding it to slow down the effective bps, seems the exact opposite of what is normally done with slower baud rate and higher order modulation to get the higher throughput. Rick, The actual BPS rate for 188-110B is 7200,
