Bruce,

Within a character, the spacing between all dots and dashes is one dot, which is 60 seconds. Dashes are key-down for three dot lengths, or 3 minutes. Between characters, the spacing is three dots, or 3 minutes. Spacing between successive TAG's is 6 dots, or 6 minutes. So, if you catch it wrong, there can be quite a bit of time before the transmitter turns on. So, with each element being 60 seconds, TAG is 1,1,1,0,0,0,1,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0, and so on.

Hope that helps.

John, W1TAG
