Audio Sample

SAS3 is one of the transmitters with the "Swedish sound".

Swedish MSKMinimum-Shift Keying (When Shift/Bd = 0.5. It is impossible to get this ratio to be lower than 0.5, hence it is called the 'Minimum' shift.) transmitters can easily be identified in the waterfall diagram by their fishbone-like modulation pattern. This seems to belong to the idle phases where no data are transmitted.

The fishbone pattern is even audible as a characteristic modulation.
