Thanks Vojtech,

I'm getting a grip on this now, maybe an internal beta of my DM780 software 
with PSK / RTTY / Olivia by the end of May. It's working on receive now but 
needs refining.

 I only allowed the HAM subtype of RTTY in PocketDigi mostly because of
 my time lack to port everything. The other reason is to keep the UI
 simple, which is probably the reason of your question. I asked the
 same question about used submodes as you couple of months ago here at
 this list.

Hi Simon.

my time lack to port everything. The other reason is to keep the UI
simple, which is probably the reason of your question. I asked the
same question about used submodes as you couple of months ago here at

The only requests I got are from the yachters for allowing reception
of DWD (Deutche Wetterdienst) broadcasts.

The others are perfectly content with the just one submode.

Hope it helps.

Well of course 170 Hz shift and 45.45 baud is the most common and about
the only thing you'll ever hear on the ham bands.  And there is hardly
enough RTTY outside the ham bands to bother with anymore.  There is some
75 baud weather type traffic I guess, and they may use 850 or 425 shift.
Then a military standard is/was 85 Hz shift, and I've been wanting to
try this on the ham bands but haven't found anybody to sked with so far.
There was a net for military radio collectors that was using 850 Hz and
45.45 baud.  50 baud used to be popular in Europe (standard speed for
Telex machines) but I get the impression that has died out for ham use.
Then there is the PK-232 that uses 200 Hz shift because it has only one
narrow shift and that is their compromise between 170 Hz for RTTY and
200 for Pactor/Amtor.  So you might want to make a shift of
185 or so to allow copy of both sides of a QSO where one is using
170 Hz and the other is using 200.  And 200 so optimum performance
when talking to a PK-232.

There's also Minimum Shift Keying where the shift is equal to the
baud rate (or is it half the baud rate) but I've never encountered
it on the air.

Does anyone run 100wpm ASCII RTY anymore?
