I guess you are right here. The problem is that the creator of the spot does
not give the correct frequency. What is really needed is to have both audio
and dial given, HOWEVER, on RTTY almost everyone use the same audio
frequency, the offset is pretty standard. It could calculate that and come
out really close most of the time. I think the vast majority use AFSK these
days.
OTOH, it is probably not worth it, I admit that. In fact, I am going to
eliminate the packet window and save space.
Man 80 an hour, no way here!
Doubt it is possible in S&P which is all that works with my setup!
GOOD LUCK the rest of the way.
