I guess I should add 2 comments: 1. Dick's diagrams use DTR instead of RTS for PTT - This depends on which software you're using. WriteLog has PTT on RTS and CW on DTR. 2. Dick's page also shows the
Just got some spam from the rtty list! -- Original Message -- From: "Winny" <xedkdmvp@yahoo.com> To: <71552.2062@compuserve.com>; <rtty@contesting.com>; <106711.1201@compuserve.com>; <rttompkins@aol.
I went ahead and made a page with links to the above files for future reference. There's also a link from my homepage now. For the rightfully paranoid (of rtf files etc), I also copied the actual te
And Yaesu seems to "derate" their stuff for RTTY to 50% power, whereas Icom does not. A lot of guys have said they run their 1000MPs at 100W in RTTY contesting, but Yaesu only recs 50W. Dependding o
Good point, Marty. I've burned up 2 traps on an R-7 and several baluns on Carolina Windoms finding the unadvertised melting points! Good reason to get Force 12! No melts! No critter-homes! No water
Just an FYI, having run the experiment a couple of times awhile back, an R-7 can take about 400W RTTY for "extended times" (like a minute or 2) The SWR will rise a bit when you first start a session
bet Well, I didn't author the Cushcrap part above (although it made me smile), but maybe I should've said "Butternut HF9V" instead of just "Butternut". And Chen, if you lost something running 100W, I
A button labeled "FSK" does not FSK make. I doubt the 990 is any different than the 1000MP in this regard. The connections and buttons are labeled FSK, but... as others have said, it surely uses an i
Ekki, you're hitting your DELETE key too fast! This was explained lots and lots yesterday! ;-) FSK - Digital signal shifts main oscillator of rig. AFSK - Usually external tones generated e.g. by an
Yaesu signal Hi Goetz - Apparently I'll eat my hat on this one, but - It -does- still use an internal AFSK generator when using "FSK" (the RTTY input connector). I traded my MARK-V toward a PROII an
No, WA9ALS didn't write that! Oh well, I have had my share of smoking hunks of plastic. The traps on the R-7 and 3 Carolina Windom 160 baluns. So far, the HF9V and C31XR haven't picked up the habit
Bill, why was this done? I suppose it was more copyable than voice under certain conditions? Reminds one of using a code practice oscillator on a 2M repeater...
Duane, somewhere the GAP says it's limited on RTTY on certain bands (?40 & 80), and their salemen will tell you this too. There's no visible traps, but they use a loop of coax inside that'll blow/mel
