Welcome to the group Larry. Hopefully you can learn from the group. There are
a lot of experienced RTTY operators here. If you
have a question, don't be afraid to post it. And never think a question is a
"stupid question" because the only stupid question is
the one not asked.
I'm not familiar with the FT857D, but I'm sure there are people here who own
one and can help you with your RTTY setup. There is
also information on the web for getting up and running on RTTY. You may want
to take a look at "Getting Started on RTTY" located
here:
http://www.aa5au.com/rtty.html
I have been in the process of updating the individual HTML pages. Once this is
done I will update the PDF file. But there should
be enough information there to give you an idea of how RTTY works. Also, you
can always send me a personal email. My mailbox is
always open.

Subject: Re: [RTTY] RTTY Digest, Vol 104, Issue 25
hello am new to this group and often times read when I can the info here. I
just purchased a new yaesu FT857d and plan to operate in
January on RTTY and PSK31,JT65HF when I get back to my home in the Philippines.
I work alot of dx on the other side of the world as well, and when I worked a
few pile ups on 6m a few years back it was pretty
difficult to pick out some calls, many I did work was the ones who threw there
calls at the end of the pile. Unfortunately many
tried to walk over the ones I was replying to. But I kept at it until the band
closed out,or had to leave for a meal or c/r run.
Am still learning from the group here and hope the yaesu ft857d or my other rig
the icom706mk2 works good for me.
