[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.

2006-09-02 Thread Mark Miller
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

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 http://home.comcast.net/~mdmiller7/ale/table_xi
