G'day Rick,
Assume the transmission speed is 60 seconds dotlength. In that case the
time needed to transmit 'CQ ON7YD K' would take :
114 minutes in QRSS
40 minutes in DFCW
30 minutes in '7 tone mode' if we have a space between characters
20 minutes in '7 tone mode' if we have no space between characters
40 minutes in '4 tone mode' if we have a space between characters
30 minutes in '4 tone mode' if we have no space between characters
And 10 minutes in FDK. I am working on an FDK modulator transmit/receive
hardware/software package. Probably it will only be useful in the
experimental US Part 15 band given the current climate in the UK.
