The OTHER GUY makes sure that he transmits Mark on the higher RF frequency and Space of the lower RF frequency with a 170 Hz shift. You do not care whether he does this on USB or LSB. At your end YOUR equipment requires 2125 and 2295 for Mark and Space respectively, it is YOUR responsibility

The ST-6 is looking for a mark tone of 2125 and a space of 2295. If for some reason the other guy is on USB but still with 2125 & 2295 tones I can flip the reverses switch and copy him just fine. If he is using a TNC that has the 200Hz shift I can't copy. At 09:21 PM 9/24/2006, you wrote: >Your

Your ST-6 has no idea what RF frequencies the Mark and Space at. You tune until you get 2125 for Mark, then if the shift is 170Hz you will be looking for 2295 for Space. If the Mark is sent with a high RF frequency with respect to the Space, then you need to be on LSB. We have discussed on

The reason that LSB historically has been used for RTTY was that the equipment in the early days had difficulty dealing with FSK. On the demodulator side you had to choose frequencies that would not produce harmonics to fool the demodulator. Back then the frequency shift was 850Hz, and it wa
