In article , (William) writes: There's somewhat the same keyboard lock-out at maximum rate in the Model 28s and later that are 100 WPM maximums. Few touch typists can go that fast except in bursts. That's incorrect, Leonard. Anyone who has spent more than a year steadily poking tape on a 28 can reasonably be expected to type at or near the machine's maximum capability. It's a fact, visible to anyone around a real communications center, that p-tape is what is used for continuous throughput. Yep, paper or mylar (for tapes used frequently). Trouble is, someone has to input that information to the tape without errors. Someone has to manually assign Message Reference Numbers and (for those who use them) Message Continuity Numbers. Someone has to look up the routers for stations infrequently addressed. There's a lot more to this "continuous throughput" than you've indicated. Morsemanship is always "discussed" by morsemen at the highest possible rates, of course with zero errors at both ends of the circuit. Non-morse communications are always done (according to morsemen) at the slowest possible rates and with a maximum of errors. As with CW circuits, RTTY circuits are subject to receiving errors and to transmitting errors. Multipath distortion or "echo" can leave an RTTY circuit useless when the same distortion has little effect on a morse circuit. Jimmie dreams his dreams of being the Best, or at least among the very best morsemen at a time when the rest of the world has gotten on with change and long ago changed to newer, faster, better techniques of communications by radio. Uh...Len? You're not doing much communicating via amateur radio, are you? Does the fact that morse remains a popular mode, in wide use by radio amateurs bother you? Dave K8MN |
