Basic specifications of the MEPT_JT mode are as follows: 1. Transmitted message: callsign + 4-character-locator + dBm Example: "iz1cqn JN35 37" 2. Message length after lossless compression: 28 bits for callsign, 15 for locator, 7 for power level ==> 50 bits total. 3. Forward error correction (FEC): long-constraint convolutional code, K=32, r=1/2. 4. Number of channel symbols: nsym = (50+K-1)*2 = 162. 5. Keying rate: 12000/8192 = 1.46 baud. 6. Modulation: continuous phase 4-FSK. Tone separation 1.46 Hz. 7. Synchronization: 162-bit pseudo-random sync vector. 8. Data structure: each channel symbol conveys one sync bit and one data bit. 9. Duration of transmission: 162*8192/12000 = 110.6 s. 10. Transmissions start two seconds into an even UTC minute: i.e., at hh:00:02, hh:02:02, ... 10. Occupied bandwidth: about 6 Hz 11. Minimum S/N for reception: around -27 dB on the WSJT scale (2500 Hz reference bandwidth).
