Greetings,

?

I like to decode the Europe feed of news items as described at RTTY.com. Please see the attached picture.

?

The gentleman that is one of the go-to people on this replied to by question as to why apostrophe's are printed as <BEL>.? This only happens on the Europe feed and not on the ITTY feed (US news items).

?

Here is his response:

==============================================

I suspect there is more than just this problem. I think + will print as “ and = will print as ;?

?

There may be a few others. This is because there are multiple standards for Baudot. The US uses USTTY and Europe uses ITA2.?

?

Everything on the Europe feed prints well on a European teletype machine because those printers are mechanically set up for ITA2. When I first put the Europe feed up, users in Europe complained that things were not printing correctly.?

?

One complaint was that apostrophe was triggering the bell on their machines! This is what you are seeing in FLDigi.? I originally had the Europe channel on USTTY and had to change it to ITA2

Interestingly, the apostrophe and bell are actually switched between the two code standards, so if I send a BEL, European machines will ring the bell but FLDigi will print an apostrophe! If I send an apostrophe, European machines will print an apostrophe but US machines will ring the bell.

==============================================

?

So my question is:? Is there an equivalent character set to ITA2 in FLDigi. There is not one called ITA2.

?

Thanks for reading.

George
