The system is available over the Atlantic and Pacific including polar regions not served. The USCG also shares frequencies across multiple transmitters according to a schedule, rather like NAVTEX. The main advantage of RTTY/SITOR is the reception of information over an entire ocean area.
#NEWS SERVICE RTTY USING FLDIGI SOFTWARE#
There is dedicated equipment to receive RTTY and SITOR but we can receive both using a standard HF/SSB receiver with software packages such as TRUETTY, JVcomm and SEATTY to decode the signals. A similar service is the USCG service, SITOR (Simplex Teletype Over Radio) providing offshore and coastal forecasts over very wide and remote areas from the tropics to the polar regions. Speeds are slow, even slower than NAVTEX. The technology dates back to the late 1950s and seems somewhat anachronistic. RTTY is a system for broadcasting text over radio.
