There is a digital transmission on 10426.5 kHz almost continuously,
every
day; FSK with about 875 Hz shift, about 100 baud or so, won't decode
with
any s/w that I have.

I show it centered at 10428.
Comes in pretty strong evenings in socal.
Looks like 75 baud.

Thanks for this link; when it comes to digital modes, one can never be
sure of
the carrier center freq when one does not know the mark/space freqs.,
etc.



Does your radio have digital tuning? Have you
used any of the computer programs that have
waterfall displays?

Yes and yes; the center freq (accurate to 1 Hz) that I gave put the space
freq. at 1500 Hz (as a convenient reference) and the shift that I reported
was from a waterfall display. The S/N wasn't too good that day and my
eyeball averaging could have been off some, or the signal could have been
at 100 baud/850 FSK as some logs on UDFX suggest that it is on occasion.
