MultiPSK can do 850Hz shift RTTY and add a CR at 72 chars if anyone feels like recreating the old days! maybe there's someone still with a mechanical RTTY machine who will let some of us younger guys experience a QSO... I'm up for it but it would have to be 30m (only decent antenna I got right

I know the AEA PK-232 used 200 Hz, as well as the Heathkit HK-232, but the Kantronics KAM series all used 170 Hz shift. That was the reason I switched from the AEA to the KAM products. What Kantronics models used 200 Hz shift? 73 de Bob - KØRC in MN - Original Message - From: Jos

Kantronics and AEA too. I have a Communications Quarterly issue from the mid 90's somewhere here in which the author modifies its filters for 170 Hz and describes a great improvement for AMTOR...but also becomes almost useless for 300 baud packet. AM7910 modems have 200 Hz shift. Jose, CO2JA
