This 16-tones signal occupy a bandwidth of about 2700 Hz, from 385Hz of the lower tone to 3010Hz of the top tone (dF = 2625Hz), with 175Hz increment steps as shonw in pics. 1,2:

Since last January, this modem has been observed on several frequencies on USB and running at different speeds (32.8, 49.3, 65.8 and 131.6 symbols/sec) but all with the same constant frequency shift of 175Hz. Personally, I spotted the firts two waveforms while the 49.3 and 65.8 Bd waveforms come from my friend Karapuz.
 
32.84Bd
49.32Bd
65.8Bd
131.59Bd
It could be that the symbol rate varies according to the transmission channel conditions, or most likely these are just transmission tests to evaluate the better waveform that allow acceptable performaces in presence of varying channel conditions. Source is suggested to be CIS Intelligence/Diplomatic services.
