1.1 General
1. RADIOTELEX COMMUNICATION
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, resulting in the receiving of information different from the intended
information. Thus a means must be provided to prevent mutilation
of radio signals by interference on HF-band radio.
Radiotelex communication today owes its reliability and efficiency
to error detection and correction. The ITU-R defined both a constant-ratio code for automatic error detection and requirements for
the error correction in Recommendation M.625-3.
1.2 Code Description
The DP-6 employs a 7-element synchronous code providing 27 =
128 combinations. Among these 128 combinations, there are 35
constant-ratio combinations having a ratio of 3 (Y) mark bits to 4
(B) space bits. Thus ratio is used to test the validity of each received character.
Of the 35 combinations, 32 are used for the required alphanumeric
teleprinter signals. The remaining three 7-element codes are used
exclusively for operational purposes. These are:
Idle Signal (ARQ Mode), Phasing Signal 1 (FEC Mode)
Idle Signal
RQ Signal (ARQ mode), Phasing Signal 2 (FEC Mode)
Transmission rate is 100 bauds. If the 4B/3Y ratio is disturbed due
to interference, the output of the receiver is blocked to restrict the
mutilated character from passing on to the teleprinter.
Frequency Shift
The frequency shift is 85 Hz with a center frequency of 1700 Hz,
as specified in ITU-R Recommendation M.625-3.
Space Tone Frequency 1700+85 = 1785 Hz
Mark Tone Frequency 1700-85 = 1615 Hz
1-1
1.3 ARQ Mode (A-Mode)
Description
The ARQ (Automatic Re-transmission request, or Automatic Request 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 correctly. 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 with one another. One station sends information and receives controls signals,
while the other station receives information and sends confirming
control signals. The first station is the ISS (Information Sending
Station), and the second is the IRS (Information Receiving Station). These functions are interchangeable by a special control signal.
The station which initiates the call is the Master Station (MS). The
MS initiates the call by sending the selective identity code of the
called station, consisting of an RQ signal and two traffic information signals, listening between blocks.
Example: Identity Code XQKM
XRQQ
Calling Block 1 Calling Block 2
Example: Identity Code PEARDBY
PRQE RQ A R
Calling Block 1 Calling Block 2
KMRQ
Figure 1-1 How identity code is transmitted
The Slave Station (SS) recognizes own identity code received and
answers it is ready by sending a control signal. The calling station
then initiates normal traffic.
DBY
Calling Block 3
1-2
The ISS sends information in blocks of three characters. Each character is sent at the rate of 100 bauds, amounting to 70 ms for one
character or 210 ms for one character block. The block repetition
cycle is 450 ms, so there is 240 ms during each cycle that the ISS is
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 repeated up to 32 times, until the completed block has been received
error-free. After 32 times, the ISS automatically initiates a new
call.

Figure 1-2 ARQ mode traffic exchange timing
Once an entire message is received (error-free), a station may switch
its function from the IRS to the ISS by means of a control signal
(CS3). This change is done by either the ISS by the sequence of "
Figure shift + ? ", or by the IRS operator by activating the "OVER"
control. Upon receipt of CS3, ISS answers with a block. This
switches the ISS into IRS. However, the original Master and Slave
stations' status remains unchanged, since the Master Station always controls the radio circuit.
Termination of Communication
Only the ISS may terminate the established circuit. It does this by
sending three "idle signals ." The IRS and ISS exchange control
signals, each reverting to standby after acknowledging each other’ s
control signals. Then, the connection is cleared.

1.4 FEC Mode (B-Mode)
Description
The FEC mode is for one-way , uninterrupted transmission of messages, 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 transmission is termed DX (direct transmission), the second RX (repeated transmission).
Message: " a b c d e f g h i j "
First transmission: a b c d e f g h i j
Second transmission: a b c d e f g h i j
280 ms
Output code ex.: a b c a d b e c f d g e h f i g j h i j
Figure 1-3 FEC mode transmission technique
The receiving station tests the DX and RX characters for adherence to the 4-mark/3-space constant ratio, and prints only
unmutilated DX or RX characters, or prints a space if both are
mutilated.
Another version of the FEC mode is the FEC-selective mode. This
mode uses a call code for selective calling to one or more stations.
Only those stations with the correct code will receive the data correctly .
Initiating a Call
When a BSS initiates a broadcast call it transmits synchronizing
signals to align phasing of the BRS. Upon detection of this signal
the BRS’ s are switched to the receiving condition and will remain
in this condition until the completion of the message. If the mutilated character error rate exceeds a certain percentage, the BRS
reverts to standby condition.
1-4
Termination of Communication
The sending station sends three consecutive idle signals α immediately after the last transmitted information signal in the DX position.
