1. RADIOTELEX COMMUNICATION 1.1 General Telex subscribers can attest to radiotelex as a reliable and efficient method for sending and receiving teleprinter connections. Telex subscribers, especially those who often use HF-band radio circuits, will also attest that the telex connection is subject to interference from a variety of sources, including atmospherics, fading and noise disturbance. This interference plays havoc with radio signals, re- sulting in the receiving of information different fr

1.3 ARQ Mode (A-Mode) Description The ARQ (Automatic Re-transmission request, or Automatic Re- quest for repetition) Mode allows private communications between any two stations using semi-duplex communication. Reception confirmation is done to assure that each character is received cor- rectly. Since the two stations (automatically) exchange identities, this affords some degree of protection for confidential messages. Traffic Exchange Sequence In the ARQ mode two stations communicate directly wi

not sending. This time is taken up by propagation time from the ISS to the IRS, 70 ms for the IRS to send its service information signal, and the return trip back to the ISS. The IRS listens between blocks and sends a control signal (CS1 or CS2) to request either the next block, or retransmission of the last block in the case of error. Request for retransmission may be re- peated up to 32 times, until the completed block has been received error-free. After 32 times, the ISS automatically initiat

1.4 FEC Mode (B-Mode) Description The FEC mode is for one-way, uninterrupted transmission of mes- sages, for example, weather forecasts and emergency bulletins, to no one particular station or stations. The sending station is known as the BSS (B-Mode Sending Station), the receiving station the BRS (B-Mode Receiving Station). This mode uses a simple forward-error correcting (FEC) technique of sending each character twice at a 280 ms interval. The first trans- mission is termed DX (direct transmis
