- Higher Speeds with the G3RUH 9600 baud Packet Radio Modem

- The modem is capable of speeds up to 64000 baud. This limit is set by the
- maximum rate that the DAC chips can operate. This note describes how to
- achieve rates from 4800 to 64000 baud. The slowest speed is suitable for
- 12.5 kHz channelised radios. The highest speed suits radios that have
- broadcast FM bandwidth filters.
-
- To implement a higher speed you need to:
-
- 1. Increase your TXData rate (!)
- 2. Increase the associated TXClock
- 3. Change some analogue filter components proportional to
- the speed increase.
-
- It is not necessary to change either of the eproms. If you are going
- for a higher speed, it is likely that the radios involved are "specials"
- and you will already have wide bandwidth and flattish group delay, so the
- loopback selection 0 from the standard ROM will be OK.
-
- The table below suggests the best conditions for different speeds.
- Component references are for my own PCB card. Clones are different.
