3597.7 + 2.295 = 3599.995. Two thoughts: First, that's only 5 Hz below
the upper US band limit. I wouldn't trust my VFO that much. And second,
that does not allow for the sidebands generated by RTTY. The FCC rules
require you keep your carrier AND sidebands within the allowed segment.
For 45 baud 170 Hz shift RTTY, the total bandwidth is about 300 Hz (the
actual bandwidth depends on the "squareness" of the corners of your
signal. I would recommend heeping your mark signal at least 100 Hz below
the upper segment limit, or perhaps a little more just to be safe.
For the second part of your question, the JA segment extends well above
ours, so their main concern is keeping their signal + sidebands above
3599.0. If you figure the sidebands occupy about 65 Hz on both sides,
they should keep their mark frequency at 3599 + .065 + .170 = 3599.235
or higher.
