Not everyone is using VAC and running RTTY software on the same computer as PowerSDR. But FSK is not really the issue. I was told at Dayton almost two years ago that Mark frequency display (vs carrier freq. display) should be mode dependent and would be available when FSK was made available. I ne

I agree with you guys on this. I really don't care if it's AFSK or FSK. (although 200Hz wide vs. 170Hz 'could' crowd the bands a bit more. Although probably not so much. But What I would like...is FSK 'like' operation. Bob Tracy installed the 'offset' features for us. But just for ease. I would

In reality you are probably right. Those of us who have primarily been RTTY'ers for the past 20+ years have come to associate afsk with badly setup signals, double signals, splatter, etc. I have (blindly) been holding out for FSK but after a braindropping from Mr. Bickle (wasn't he the Extension

I agree strongly that an option to display mark freq on RTTY is needed for all serious RTTY operators. I have been asking for this for several years. The Offset in CAT setup is helpful but still creates some confusion. I used to just set the RIT and XIT to 2125 and that worked great for awhile but
