This is needed, absolutely mandatory, to mitigate the fading multipath HF channel. Bob, Thanks. I have not had a opportunity to send images with 188-110, but after reading the specification, I thought adaptive equalization would be necessary. I look forward to sending images. I have

188-141 does not merit adaptive equalization in my opinion. At 125 tones per second, one of 8 tones is turned on. Each tone sends 3 bits as a result. The data is encoded with a Golay code. This is about twice as fast as is optimal for most HF channels given this kind of transmission

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
