Link-11, Tadil-A, Alligator - is not rare signal on the air. this signal is characteristic enough for ear. It can be easily identified, because similar stuff is hardly can be found. There are two sorts of such signal, with rather long burst as in the example and with the short one. Both sorts of this signal has identical parametres, except lengh, for LINK-11 short, it does not exceed 300 msec, and usually an order 80-100 msec. Technical speed makes 15*75*2 = 2250 bps.
