Frank, I recall from my early RTTY days that switching between two tone generators produces "non coherent" RTTY while shifting the tone of a single generator gives "coherent" RTTY. Coherent vs non-coherent has to do with the continuity of the AC waveform of the tone, where coherent is a conti

You will want to slew it slower than that. The bandwidth for (say) 45.45 baud with 170 Hz shift with a 4 ms slew rate would be almost 500 Hz. I think 10ms is more like it as the minimum rate would be slewing over 20 ms. Bob Frank Brickle wrote: I'm working on transforming the keyer into
