Bonnie, Your definition below is not at all my understanding, nor does it square with anything that I have read on baud rate. My understanding for many years has been that baud refers to the symbol rate per second. In other words, the actual changes or transitions taking place per second. The

I was able to find some interesting data on poor channel performance of the 110A modem from one company: http://www.etools.de/software/telekommunikation/komponenten/milstd188110a.htm Depending upon the BER you can tolerate, it appears that the 2400 bps speed can only handle around +10 to +14 S/

The slower speeds are better when the condx is worse, 75 bps and long interleave gets through just about anything. I have not really had to use it at that speed , 1200 bps gets through nicely too. I don't know how good the implementation in RFSM is, my experience is based upon years of daily use of

Well, MIL-STD-188-110A uses a single phase shifted tone , I guess that made it even more non-intuitive ? The difference between packet and this MIL-STD is just huge. Interleaver to fight fade and QRM, equalization to benefit from multipath and the list could just go on and on. 300 baud packet is a

Doubt you or Rick are missing anything. 300 baud ax.25 packet works poorly on HF unless near the MUF. I still like the mode but after 20+ years I agree to its shortcomings... PAX/PAX2/ARQ FAE all work better at the expensive of bandwidthax.25 packet at 110 baud works better too when down fr
