DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS: (F1, 3.5-28 MHz)(A2, F1, F2 above 28 MHz)
BAUDOT: (International Alphabet #2)
A2, F1, F2: Maximum frequency shift = 900 Hz
A2, F2: Highest modulating frequency = 3000 Hz.
Maximum speed = 100 wpm (75 baud).
ASCII: Maximum baud rates:
3.5 - 28 MHz = 300 baud
28 - 50 MHz = 1200 baud
50 - 220 MHz = 19600 baud
220 - up = 56000 baud
AMTOR: TOR specifications are found in CCIR Rec. 476-2.
(100 baud, Block rep rate 2.222/sec.)
OTHER DIGITAL CODES: (ABOVE 50 MHZ ONLY):
Any other digital code may be used above 50 MHz
in the domestic U.S. (Except where A1 only is
permitted). A description of the code and modu-
lation technique must be kept in the log.
Bandwidth limitations:
50 - 220 MHz = 20 kHz max.
220 - 1215 MHz = 100 kHz max.
1215 and up = any Bw if in accordance with
97.63(b) and 97.73(c).
NOTE: When any digital communications are used, ID must
be given by voice or CW, whichever is appropriate.
.PA
?FACSIMILIE and TELEVISION:
Below 50 MHz the bandwidth of A4, A5, F4, F5 must not
exceed that of an A3 SSB signal.
50 to 225 MHz:
The bandwidth of A4 and A5 SSB emissions must not exceed
that of A3 SSB emissions.
The bandwidth of A4 and A5 DSB emissions must not exceed
that of A3 DSB emissions.
Type F4 and F5 emissions shall be limited to a peak
deviation of 5 KHz with a maximum modulating frequency
of 3 KHz. Alternatively, the bandwidth shall be no
greater than 20 KHz.
Below 225 MHz, type A4 and A3 or type A5 and A3
emissions are allowed simultaneously on the same
frequency if the bandwidth is no greater than type
A3 DSB.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The present complete emission types are given in the format:
"Numeral, Letter, Numeral, Letter". The first numeral
indicates the bandwidth of the signal. This is often not
shown (and really should be for an accurate description).
The first letter shows the type of main carrier modulation.
The second numeral indicates the type of modulating signal
(voice, TV, CW, etc). The suffix letter, also not always
shown, basically indicates carrier and sideband type
information (full carrier or supressed, SSB or DSB etc).
The following list is not complete, does not show pulse
modes, and does not mean that all these can be used by the
amateur.
TYPE DESCRIPTION NOTE
(Amplitude Modulation)
A0 carrier - no modulation
A1 on-off telegraphy #1
A2 amplitude modulated telegraphy #1,2
A3 DSB (full carrier telephony)
A3A SSB (reduced carrier telephony)
A3B (2 independent sidebands -
reduced carrier) #3
A3J SSB (supressed carrier telephony)
A4 DSB facsimile
A4A SSB facsimile, reduced carrier
A4J SSB facsimile, supressed carrier
A5 DSB television
A5C VSB television #4
? (Frequency modulation)
F0 carrier - no modulation
F1 frequency shift telegraphy #1
F2 frequency modulated telegraphy #1,2
F3 telephony
F4 facsimile
F5 television

1. This is not restricted to Morse - may be RTTY, for example.
(RTTY could be run on 160 meters if on-off keying of the
carrier is used).
2. Examples of this mode are: 1) Carrier keyed on/off 2)
carrier on with the modulation keyed on/off 3) carrier on
with the modulation frequency shift keyed.
3. This is used by short wave broadcast station studio to
transmitter links with separate programs on each set of
sidebands.
4. VSB = Vestigial sideband where all of one set of sidebands
is transmitted but only about 20 percent of the other set of
sidebands is transmitted (the lowest frequencies).
_____________________________________________________________
Common Amateur emissions:
Double sideband voice = 6A3
Single sideband voice = 3A3J
VHF FM voice = 16F3
25 wpm Morse cw = .1A1
(assume max modulating freq of 3KHz and max deviation of 5KHz)
______________________________________________________________
Bandwidths are found with the following formulae:
A1 Bw = BK K=5 for fading circuits)
A2 Bw = BK+2M
A3 Bw = 2M
A3J Bw = M
A4 Bw = KN+2M (K=1.5)
F1 Bw = 2.6D+.55B (when 2D/B is less than 5.5)
Bw = 2.1D+1.9B (when 2D/B is greater than 5.5)
F3 Bw = 2M+2DK (K=1)
F4 Bw = KN+2M+2D (K=1.5)
.PA
? WHERE:
Bw = necessary bandwidth in Hz
B = speed in bauds
C = subcarrier freq. in Hz
D = 1/2 the diff. between max and min instantaneous
freq (in other words, peak deviation).
K = fudge factor
M = maximum modulating freq. in Hz
N = maximum black & white elements per second
(N = drum circumference x lines per unit length
x drum rps)
