however no transmissions with sub-channel division are known. Systems employing sub-channel division
may be recognized by the rhythmic blinking of the Error indication (system state) in the decoder status
bar.
ARQ-N
ARQ-N uses the ARQ-1A alphabet (as does ARQ-E). Character inversion (as in the case of ARQ-E or ARQ-
E3) is not defined for ARQ-N. The lack of inversion makes it impossible to automatically determine the
length of the RQ cycle. However, known systems operate exclusively with a single RQ character and three
repeated characters.

Known ARQ-N systems operate exclusively at a symbol rate of 96 Bd on the radio link.
The synchronization phase for the ARQ-N mode of operation may be initiated via the AUTO function or by
manual selection of the baud rate.
Signal polarity (USB or LSB sidebands) is automatically detected.
Full-duplex systems transmit the RQ character after having detected an erroneous character or in the
presence of excessive signal distortions. The remote station subsequently repeats the last three characters
preceded by the RQ character.
To maintain synchronization between the two stations both transmitters operate continuously and send
the idle bit pattern if no traffic data is transmitted.
ASCII
The ASCII code, which is internationally adapted as the CCITT ITA-5 alphabet, is used in all kinds of data
transfer of information between computers or computer based equipment. Only the 7-bit values 0 – 127
are internationally defined and standardized. For asynchronous transmissions, the code consists of a start
bit, 7 or 8 data bits, one parity bit (optional) and 1 or 2 stop bits.

be selected using the Baudrate menu item.
