We’ve got a 500Hz filter in one of the filter slots. Transmitter is OK, though gets hot, receiver is noisy when compared to the FT1000MP, but that’s to be expected.

For AFSK you can use the IF Shift to narrow the bandwidth, but not as good as using the filters.īruce, WT4I – Used on FSK, 270Hz filter, small radio that tends to get hot, no rig control available, RIT but no RIT clear, good backup RTTY radio with amplifier.ĭan, N1JEB – This is our portable station, used most recently from Bonaire.

IC-9100 (Thanks Joe, W4TV for this list.)

Icom rigs that support software PTT are: IC-703, IC-746, IC-746Pro, Icom rigs that do not support software PTT are: IC-78, IC-251, IC-275, The last of the “non-software PTT” rigs were the IC-706mkIIg and the IC-756 (non-Pro) while the first Icom rigs to support software PTT were the IC-746 and IC-756Pro. Icom transceivers prior to the IC-746 and IC-756Pro could not switch to transmit via software command. You can go into the DSP filter banks and tweak them, you can move the passband up and down, and change the width, and its locked in stone, you can even change the labels on the buttons, I have redone all mine, there was a 1.0Khz on sideband banks that I felt was a waste of a position, way too narrow, now it’s a 1.7khz and very useful, but the good news is on RTTY filtering, I now have 4 main RTTY filters, a 1.0 KHz, 750hz, 500hz and *250hz (*for big-time contesting), and before I was using RIT to be dead on freq, well I tweaked these new filters up and down during QSO’s so now when I click on a signal, I am dead on it. There are 10 DSP filter banks for every mode with “pre-made filters”, even 10 separate ones for LSB and USB, and 20 total DIGU and DIGL which are just lower and upper sideband for digital modes like RTTY and SSTV, in addition to those ten there are 2 variable DSP filters, with width and shift sliders, but these reset to center when you change bands so they are more for “on the fly use.

Also with the Flex and VAC (virtual audio cable) software, no sound card is used with MMTTY or MixW or whatever, just the VAC and the Flex, all processing is done in the PC and the latency is zero! The external Edirol FA-66 handles the Flex, I removed the SoundBlaster to free those resources up, but suppose there is a need for a sound card in a particular app? No sweat, just run the “repeater” function in VAC and tell it to link virtual cable 1 to the FA-66 and viola you have sound, works like a dream, so far I have used MMTTY and MMSSTV without any issues. You can even decide both sides of a RTTY split operation if you have a subRx, but that requires two copies of MMTTY.īill, K4FX – I think this one is a keeper, no FSK but they tell me it’s coming soon, but for AFSK only the DSP makes up for it! Just after I got it running I was working EU stations and had people come in above and below me, I don’t think the 756 or the 940 could have stood it, but the DSP on the Flex was dialed down to about 200 hz and the QSO’s went on. –> No separate sound card needed, no separate cables for software to purchase. There is a small display where the decoded signal is displayed. Even without a computer, it is possible to use the K3 in RTTY mode: just turn on the Text Decode function and set to proper data mode. Simple to set up: Just start the software and be in the proper data mode on the radio, then tune to a RTTY signal. So using the K3 Utility software, available free from Elecraft, is a natural. Most people who have a K3 have a computer handy for updates and to do logging.

Ten Tec includes Orion II, Omni VI Plus, Omni V, & Corsair. When clicked, they will bring you directly to that section of the page. The hyperlinks on this page are bookmarks. If you have comments you’d like to make about a particular radio and how it performs on RTTY, please send an E-mail to me at (Note: I wrote this many years ago and it may not be pertinent anymore because all newer radios are more than capable of operating RTTY mode.) Which radios are the best on RTTY? Which are not so good? If you are in the market for a new or used radio read what experienced RTTY operators say about the transceivers they are using now and have used in the past.
