G-TOR
Golay Transmission over Radio. A system developed by engineers at
Kantronics, Inc. Users of this system include Military (Irish Air Corp,
Irish Navy, Mexican Army), governmental agencies (ICRC) and the Albanian
Christian Network (ACN).
G-tor's "claimed" main advantage is speed - up to 4x faster than pactor.
It also incorporates a data interleaving system that assists in
minimizing the effects of atmospheric noise and has the ability to fix
garbled data. G-tor tries to perform all transmissions at 300bd but
drops to 200bd if difficulties are encountered and finally to 100 bd.
All acknowledgments (ACK's and NAK's) are sent at 100 bd.
