Comments:
Wanted to try out the built-in RTTY mode of the new IC-7700
during a Contest and grab a few more Q's I need for WAS Triple
Play. It was kinda crazy since I don't have a Computer/Radio
interface with my antiquated Contesting Software (CT on DOS).
So, I'd make a Q and enter it manually in CT as if I was operating
the NAQP-CW Contest. (I know, how clunky!!) Then, I edited the
ADIF File after the Contest to show it was RTTY. You know the
old saying ---- Whatever Works!! Some day, I'll have to upgrade
my radio computer to Windows, get modern logging/contesting
software and interface it all to the radio for RTTY. I'm tired just
thinking about a project like that!
The new radio has a USB port for a keyboard which is nice for QSO's
and DX-chasing and S&P Contesting. Also, there are 8 memories for
storing messages that are launched from the F-keys on the keyboard.
So, I was able to run just about the entire time by merely hitting F1
and F3 where I had my Call and Exchange stored. Quite easy and fun.
