I give up, someone explains else explains to Bill how the concept of Bandwidth
works.
If the Butterworth example does not work, I don't know what will convince Bill
about the difference between Bandwidth (which is a finite number) and the
Frequency Response (which could be unbounded). I am now convinced that he is
mixing up the two concepts.
Bill, the 1.2 number is derived at empircally to get a bandwidth number so that
99% of the power is inside the resultant bandwidth.
If you send a lot of Baudot R or Baudot Y (or Baudot 4 or 6), the bandwidth
will probably exceed that 249.45 Hz number by a percent or two.
BTW, if ARRL eventually gets the FCC to pass a bandwidth rule, that ITU number
is the only technical argument to allow us to operate steam RTTY inside the
"300 Hz" segment of the bands. Otherwise, we will be stuck with living among
Pactor III signals.
