FSK-2 300Bd/200, 17-bit ACF 6-bit code

FSK-2 300Bd/200 transfer occupying ~500Hz bandwidth, each cycle lasts 6000ms (4640ms data block, 1360ms idling) and shows 17-bit length ACF. Each data block consists of 738 bits (data + framing), data seem to be sent using a 6-bit code. Very strong in JN52.

In Fig. 3, although contents are different, it's possible to see repeated sequences in the packets, expecially the last 12 bits of each packet. Same packets also exhibit a same sequence in their initial part. Figure 4 shows the result of the comparison between the first packet on the left in Fig. 3 and the following 10 packets.

The transmission lasted for a long time, I followed it about two hours on Thursday evening  (Apr, 19) from 2030z - when I tuned it - and I still found it there the following morning until 0900z when it stopped. A friend from Northern Portugal reported this signal in UDXF list (18 Apr): "It has been on all morning on 3575.65kHz (USB dial freq)".
The same signal is reported in a post of 2012 (27 Jun) in radioscanner, user and purposes of that transmission/protocol are not yet known or verified.

Nice work indeed by 'cryptomaster': use Diff-FSK, remove extra columns, remove odd parity-bit column and then get the 6 bit code. Great!

BELL 103 compatible FSK modem 300Bd/200 (Algerian AF)


heard on 11446.2 KHz (cf) at 0756 UTC. FSK bursts preceeded by three unmodulated tones 150 Hz spaced, manipulation speed is 300 symbols/s and shift is 200 Hz. A short 250ms preamble is embedded in the 3 pre-tones (pic.3) , data are encrypted. Since the baudrate (300Bd) is higher than the shift (200Hz), modulation could be a so-called semi-mode such as MSK or GMSK.
The waveform is compatible with AT&T Bell 103 modem and suggested to be used by Algerian Air Force. A short recording is available here
