GE OMs;

Paul - if you get any volunteers please let me know or else
forward a copy of the NAVTEX signal.

I was hoping that W1AW would work - but they've stopped sending
out SITOR digital transmissions.

I'd prefer the 2125/2295Hz tones but I'll take what I can.

Oh - BTW - there is a part that needs to be changed in the ST-6 to
make it work better at 100 WPM. I don't know if the ST-5000 is the same.

I'm trying to set a UAR/T to sample the transmissions at a high enough
rate that I can use it instead of a synchronous interface - but I need
a transmission AND the hard copy to know how I'm doing. I did manage
to "copy" one of WLO's SITOR transmissions - and I had the UAR/T locked
on well enough that the pattens kept repeating in the log file.

UE,
K2EAA - TONY
