- Why use 100MHz as a carrier for a 100kHz signal? Why not use a 300kHz
- carrier (and use less expensive cable). Have you looked at using QAM
- rather than FSK? The faster (fax etc) modems use QAM to squeeze 9600bps
- out of a 3kHz link. If cable is a major cost consideration here then
- this may be worth looking into. As smoeone has already mentioned, TAXI
- chips do a good job of high speed serial conversion but you will still
- need to modulate your serial output for transmission.
