On 13960.0 KHz I tuned an apparently MFSK-4 100Bd/1000 transmission spreading about 3000Hz bandwidth: tones at -1500, -500, +500, +1500. After emails exchange with friends, "cryptomaster" from radioscanner suggested that the signal is a F7B mode actively used by Ukrainian Nets. Usually, the two channels transfer T-207 ciphered data. He also warned me that SA program parses these transmissions as classic MFSK-4 therefore the received result doesn't correspond
to the truth. Another F7B signal, this one from Ukrainian Mil, was reported here some times ago.

The F7B transmission mode deals with signals consisting of two independent, but synchronous channels carrying teletype signals. Modulation used is MFSK-4 (more precisely, FSK2 on 2 independent channels).
The equipment BUK-2D, for example, is one of the equipments used to filter and separate the two channels (thanks to 'cryptomaster').

So this is a thing of combining signals to get the truth? Someday I may see the light, or not.
