hi - I currently find myself often guest operating at local 'super' stations
for RTTY contests. Since these stations typically do not have RTTY set up, I
end up lugging computer, rigs, and even SO2R aids like stub filters to these
locations.
I am currently hauling around my trusty pair of old FT1000Ds which I like FB
for RTTY operation (yes, even with the crazy tuning rate), but they are very
heavy and getting up in years - not to mention having to break them down from
my home station and set them back up each time.
This may be ultimately something of a fantasy exercise, but I thought I would
poll you folks anyway to see where it led...
So the question is: If I could, I would like a matched pair of rigs that met
the following basic specs:
- modern receiver specs, at least as good as my 1000Ds with INRAD roofing and
250/400 hz filters
- relatively light weight
- FSK required
- comfortable at 100W with RTTY contest duty cycles
So, if you could, what would you recommend?
thanks very much! - jeff wk6i
