That's an interesting frequency to select for the source of voice qrm. I wouldn't be so fast to blame VE's or other non-US stations for this increased interference. That is the BFO (14070 dial) frequency for virtually every transceiver running PSK on 20 meters. With the proliferation of PSK31

Andy, There should be no detectable difference between an AFSK and FSK signal on the receiving end. Are you sure your tones were correct on FSK? The symptom you describe sounds like you may have been transmitting reversed tones. There is a menu setting to flip the polarity of the FSK keying in

Andy, In my opinion, that feature is in a gray area, between useful and practical. I do believe this feature in the Icom has helped motivate many hams to give RTTY a try. Once they see the messages being exchanged, it becomes an incentive to investigate what is needed to participate. I suppose
