Hi Guys



Stephen, I am of course aware that USB is used for phone above 10MHz but was 
under the impression, perhaps wrongly, that data was specified as a LSB 
frequency. But no problem, the 300bd KAM tones are 1,600 and 1,800 Hz, so 
centre frequency 1,700 Hz. For USB move the dial setting down twice that 
figure:-



28.140 MHz - 3,400 Hz = 28.136,600 MHz.



For PK-232 (AGWPE, the free one) subtract 510 Hz, i.e. 28.136,090 MHz.
