Transmission Modes WAVECOM Decoder W74PC, W-PCI/e, W-CODE, W-CLOUD Manual V8.7.0
The parity dependent repeat transmission of the 5 data bits is easily recognized by ear for certain charac-
ter combinations. The IDLE signal also has a distinctive sound.
Parameter Value
Frequency range HF
Operation modes FEC
Modulation FSK
Symbol rate 62.3, 68.5, 102.63 and 137 Bd, variable 30-650 Bd
Receiver settings DATA, CW, LSB or USB
Input format(s) AF, IF
Additional Info 10-Bit Bauer Code
The Bauer code is used for error detection and correction purposes. Each code word consists of 10 bits.
The five leading bits are a character of the ITA-2 alphabet and the trailing 5 bits are a direct repetition of
the first five bits. If even parity is present, the last five bits are inverted before transmission.
The Bauer code can correct single bit errors and corrected characters are displayed in red on the screen
display. Characters which have been found to contain more than a single bit error are represented by the
underline symbol. Error correction may be enabled or disabled by selecting ECC (Error Correction Control).
BAUDOT
The Baudot code has been the most common telegraph code used as a result of the widespread use of tel-
eprinter, its place now being gradually taken over by ASCII.
Baudot is internationally approved as CCITT alphabet ITA-2, but several national modifications to ITA-2
exist as do completely different character assignments, e.g., Arabic alphabets Bagdad-70 and ATU-80,
Russian M2, and alphabets using a third shift to accommodate the shift between Latin and another charac-
ter set.
Baudot is the basis for many codes in use on radio circuits due to the need for easy compatibility with tel-
eprinter networks and equipment.

For the BAUDOT the Auto option starts the process of automatically setting up the demodulator and de-
termining the baud rate and signal polarity.
The Baudrate item in the Demodulator menu allows a manual start of signal decoding with polarity de-
termination remaining automatic. The user may also enter a baud rate of his choice. Setting the demodu-
lator up for correct shift and center frequency must also be done manually via the Demodulator menu.
In the case of a manual start, the polarity is also determined and the signal is tested for a valid asynchro-
nous data format. If valid parameters are detected, the output of text is started. Even in the case of a
break in the received signal, the software does not attempt automatic synchronization. This prevents the
premature termination of data capturing in the presence of transient interference to the signal.
The Auto mode will automatically cause a return to synchronization if lengthy periods of signal loss are
experienced or a pre-defined error rate exceeded.
