[GreenKeys] Radio up and working... Question...

[Duncan M. Brown]

I don't remember what the conversion formula is, but

45baud = 60 wpm
50 baud = 66 wpm
75 baud = 100 wpm
100 baud = ??


Most mechanical 60 wpm TTYs will copy 50 baud/66 wpm with out any trouble
(adjust range finder for optimum though).  But I've found that the software
decoders (like MMTTY) are so sharp that they will not copy 50 baud when set
for 45 baud. (You can change the baud rate in MMTTY, but you have to search
for it.  That is the only thing I don't like about MMTTY.)

I haven't been doing any listening recently, but seems like the German wx
station DDK  and the Canadian one  CFH are about the only regular stations
on (plus KSM on Saturdays 8433 & 12631 Kc)  Lots of other "digital"
signals, but can't tune them in. so I assume they are encrypted &/or using
different codes, speeds, etc.
