Am I hearing ACARS and RTTY on the same frequency?

<< < (2/2)

WrongwayCorrigan:
That would explain it. I had no idea the intermediate frequency bandwidth was so wide on this little radio.

So if its likely a military RTTY signal, there is really no point in attempting to decode it.

And - they don't say in the official docs from the company either ... from their website:

Specs - http://www.etoncorp.com/upload/contents/307/G_G6spec.pdf

Manual - http://www.etoncorp.com/upload/contents/307/G6_Manual_US_010308_low.pdf

So, you can get close, but there will always be some minor 'ambiguity' ... I would take close in these circumstances as being close enough, as I do when I use the Degen 1103 (DE1103) ... compared to the Icom IC-756ProII -

Brief view of its specs:

As to decoding, it may be nothing more than what appears to be random 5-letter/number code groups ... I don't know, I have never looked.

I have used software to decode CW, which usually results in 'cut numbers' groups. I do not know morse code well enough to copy it by hand.
