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

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

Moving traffic IS NOT what 99% of hams want to do on 20 meters working DX IS. And this band is filled with stations doing just that. I think you are quit right, Bruce, and the Winlink 2000 network is probably currently the most efficient say of moving traffic, but that interests less

Except for the fact that PSK has no error correction, no compression, no formatting capabilities and no way to accurately know if the traffic was delivered properly other than read back, your figures are fairly accurate. David, check out our NBEMS system at www.w1hkj.com/NBEMS Many of the
