Baudot Async

General Information

The asynchronous Baudot mode is a means to transfer printable characters over a communication channel. Synchronization in this case is achieved by the use of a Start-Bit, which has the polarity reverse to the Stop-Bit and the Idle-State.

Usage:

§ Transfer of textual information over HF.
