What is one advantage of using ASCII rather than Baudot code?

  • Correct Answer
    It is possible to transmit upper and lower case text
  • ASCII includes built-in error correction
  • ASCII characters contain fewer information bits
  • The larger character set allows storeand- forward

What type of error control system is used in AMTOR ARQ (Mode A)?

  • The receiving station checks the frame check sequence (FCS) against the transmitted FCS
  • Each character is sent twice
  • Correct Answer
    The receiving station automatically requests repeats when needed
  • Mode A AMTOR does not include an error control system

What error-correction system is used in AMTOR FEC (Mode B)?

  • Mode B AMTOR does not include an error-correction system
  • The receiving station automatically requests repeats when needed
  • The receiving station checks the frame check sequence (FCS) against the transmitted FCS
  • Correct Answer
    Each character is sent twice
