I have to agree with Barry. For a modest amount of code space (Flash RAM), they added a very useful capability for the casual or field operator. I once worked a DX RTTY station via FSK-D mode with paddle "keyboard". I could not have done that QSO any other way at that time. The QSO was made more exciting by being on 40 meters, running 3 watts into an indoor mag loop antenna. :)

Not at all a wasted effort. I used to be an active RTTY DXer (RTTY DXCC TOHR, all but BS7) and contester, but in my condo QTH, I just don't have the room or desire for a rat's nest of cables to external boxes. I've used it
for several QSOs for new band-countries.
