    Actually, the TCM3105 (and similar units) are dumb modems, bit rate in
    equals bit rate out. The frequency shift is 1 kHz, so the bandwidth occupied
    will be wider than the conventional HF shift of 200 kHz, but most simple
    PLL based demodulators should be able to decode it OK still.

    If you want to get the 200 Hz shift of a conventional HF modem, look around
    for one of the older Exar based Bell 202 modems which can be retuned for
    different frequencies and shifts by substituting resistors and/or a cap.
    ... or bypass all that and use a sound card :)
