[RTTY] NAQP RTTY on NCDXF Beacon]

[Robert Jonsson]

Hi Wolf.
Indeed I have a kenwood ts870s and using fsk I am on the correct frequency,
the same as displayed on the radio. I forgot to say that me and my friend
when we were testing the frequency I was using LSB and USB on the radio.
He has a icom 7000 and can read the rtty signal on the radio.
I was using soundcard to make the rtty signal using LSB and USB inverted
also and he did not change anything well he had to tune me in.
I have seen on the cluster callsigns which I started to "CHASE" many of them
were offset by up to 2000HZ according to my fsk readout.

So 73 73 to u all
Regards Robert tf3tty..

Hi Robert,

thank you for your interest in this problem.

There are radios on the market wich have a menue item that corrects the
special offset of  the rtty mark tone.  In my case it is the FT-1000MP
and I know that there are many other radios with the same feature. I had
a Kenwood TS-570 some time ago and I am quite sure that there I had this
feature too. But you have to go into the menue and select it. The
default setting is as you described.

If you are running FSK this frequency problem doesn't depend on how you
generate the RTTY signal, by a hardware TNC or by software. It depends
only on your radio!

73 + 55

Hi Wolf.
thanks for all.
What kind of a radio di you have?
I ask because I never have heard about a radio who sends DC to the rf
stages.
In the KAM+ Manual and in the arrl handbook, also in the manual for my
kenwood radio as well in the manual for the dxp38 modem I see the same
thing
about the frequency from the transmitting starion.

Frequency sent = displayed frequencu +- the mark/shift tones.  the plus
or
minus depends if you send USB or LSB.

in my case 14.100 + 2125 = 14.102125 KHZ
also  14.097875 + 2125 = 14.100 khz
soundcards use different frequency but it can be calculated.
I was testing this with my friend tonight and it did work this way.
Me transmitting on 14.09787 KHZ and he did receve me on 14.100 KHZ
by doing revers FSK I had to use minus and get the other sideband.

regards robert tf3tty...... 73
