RTTY Audio

The audio files below can be used to test terminal unit demodulators. They were created by transmitting a test tape (Quick Brown Fox 100 times) using a TU-170 in Tucson AZ. The files were received and recorded at the KFS SDR. The recordings include noise and fading.

DescriptionAudio File
Night 40 meters (7.086 MHz). 50 watts into random length wire antenna. Starts with reasonable signal then exhibits severe fading.websdr_recording_2022-03-15T05_45_16Z_7086.0kHz.wav
Afternoon 20 meters (14.086 MHz). 90 watts to inverted L.websdr_recording_2022-06-14T23_08_37Z_14086.0kHz.wav
Simultaneous Mark (2125 Hz) and Space (2295 Hz) to transmit testing for selective fadingMarkSpaceSimultaneous.wav
Simultaneous 170 Hz shift mark and space as transmitted on 14.2 MHz and received on the KFS SDR. Transmit power was 15 watts. Time was about 2324Z. AGC was turned off so fading could be observed. There is considerable fading and selective fading websdr_recording_2022-05-17T23_24_19Z_14200.0kHz.wav
Simultaneous 850 Hz shift Mark (2125 Hz) and Space (2975 Hz) to transmit testing for selective fading2125-2975.wav
Simultaneous 850 Hz shift Mark (1075 Hz) and Space (2975 Hz) to transmit testing for selective fading. These lower frequencies are used because 2975 Hz is filtered out by SSB transmitter. 1075-1925.wav
Websdr recording of simultaneous 1075 Hz and 1925 Hz tones transmited on 14.195 MHz USB at 15 watts and received at the KFS SDR. websdr_recording_2022-05-31T22_09_09Z_14195.0kHz.wav

ITTY, high quality AFSK audio with no fading or noise! Useful for initial tests of a demodulator. A good demodulator should do well with noise and fading. 170 Hz shift, 2125 Hz mark, 2275 Hz space.ITTY
