HEY   GUYS

When you guys get this 2Tone thing all figured out so it works with FSK and N1MM then I'll try it again, All I get now is a continious tone.

I don't understand any of this  ""OOK""  or such stuff.

Hah! I never thought of that -- turning AFSK into OOK by turning one frequency of the tone pair to 0 Hz.

There could be just a small side effect: if the transmit AFSK tones are generated in a phase continuous manner, the digital output to the sound card will not be zero, but instead some constant DC level, until the OOK tone resumes.

Sound cards don't put out DC (thus the "DC hump" problem with SDRs) and who knows what they do with the DC during those OOK transitions. The OOK decoder may end up with a small random jitter that varies from bit to bit.

There is another potential problem. If the tones are being generated digitally by some DDA (digital differential analyzer) fashion, the delta-T value for 0 Hz would cause an overflow. I guess this can be mitigated with the use of 1 Hz instead of 0 Hz, and let the sound card suppress the 1 Hz signal.
