As I understand it from back in the 1970s when I was first working on this sort of thing, the modulation is not FSK, but "MSK" (whatever that is) at something like 25 to 50 Hz, and the Navy installed the necessary equipment in the 1970 time-frame to assure that the transmitted signals are phase-stable. The same thing, apparently holds true for GBR and some of the other stations like those. Russian, for instance. I have no idea what, exactly, has occurred in this area since then though. > We may assume the transmitter is accurate. Yes. > But how accurate? That is a good question. I have no idea at this point. I'll try to find out. > Then the fsk generator Well, as I said above, it is not FSK....exactly... I DO know that the Navy had problems when they first tried FSK with their antenna tuning methods. Due to the extremely hi "Q" of their antenna systems, any useable frequency shift (at the receiver) was so great that it pretty much threw their antennas out of tune on either mark or space. Thus, they had to use a different method. I never did learn what that method was. Perhaps now is the time for me to find out.
