That graphic looks to me like 500 Hz wide 8 tones. The bandwidth is the easy part to see from the waterfall - the harder part is the number of tones. If you look closely at the display, you can see eight stripes roughly defined in the display. Could the sideband have been reversed? Last I

Mark, Thanks for your info. on the tones/bandwidth, most of the user are using the lower bandwidth on 30 and lower since we have limited space and its share more with SSB, RTTY and the other digital modes.. The 16 tones 500Hz width gives us about a 20 WPM while the 8 - 500 provides us
