I had it that way on my system so I could edit the pix that were sent on the air about 20 years ago. I have not been too active on rtty for the last 5 years. I moved and am just now getting the station back together. Mostly just receiving now and not doing any transmitting lately. I will have to look at the software to see what options are for transmitting.
It might just be that the glass rtty users need to be educated as to what is really needed for those of us that have the old mechanical machines. I have the Modle 19 and a home built ST-6 that I use. We use to have a group of about 15 hams on the 220 mhz band and a repeater just for rtty about 20 years ago. 73 de KU4PT ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
