TAG will be transmitting PSK02 on 185.800 kHz during the day today. There
may be some interruption in the late afternoon. Use the Digimode terminal in
Spectrum Lab to decode it.

The transmit frequency should be accurate within 10 milliHertz. Receiver
accuracy and stability is essential, or you may just get some occasional
characters. I would suggest calibrating the 11025 Hz sampling rate in
SpecLab, and using the "fRx" cal box in the Digimode terminal to do any fine
tuning. Note that you are NOT limited to one decimal place in that box.

I am presently using the phasing exciter to do this, taking the audio from
the sound card. I will switch over to direct PSK of the exciter later today,
and eliminate the sound card as a source of frequency error.

Text moves a LOT slower than PSK31!
