> Why do radio link care about the average DC of the encoded data ? It makes it easier to set the gain, and to decide where the threshold between a 0 and 1 is. > Does this apply to all forms of radio modulation ? No, but it does apply to AM (amplitude modulation). In most cases, the bit stream into the transmitter is just used to key the carrier on and off. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
