Default Re: Question about Telex

It is perfectly possible to connect a mechanical TELEX machine to a radio

You need a modem to convert those audio signals from your radio into suitable signalling to the telex machine mechanics and vice versa

Since the advent of personal computers the "machine" part has gone "software" but a few diehards in amateur radio still do it with TTY machines

Over the air is is called "RTTY" (radio teletype) and is based around Baudot not ASCII coding

BARTG (bartg.org.uk) is the amateur group focussed on this subject and have a helpful document here, although it focuses more on using a PC

BARTG was years ago the source of the modem hardware design/kits to interface a mechanical terminal with a design called the "ST5" AFAIR

http://www.baudot.net/creed/docs-ala...e-easy-way.pdf seems more relevant to what you want to do

(The fire mobilising data system I was involved with (35 years ago) used a radio link bearer to pass signals that the fire station did print on a mechanical teleprinter like printer!)

Good luck with your project
