Not really a RTTY contester, but when I do play, I am constantly bothered by
my rx filtering setup.
I currently run a pair of IC7410's in LSB (AFSK) mode. On RTTY I am
currently SO1R, but I know how to go about
doing SO2R if I can ever get the filters setup better.
N1MM+
MMTTY
What "seems" to work best (by randomly flailing about) doesn't work very
well.
I don't believe using the RTTY mode (and thus the twin peak filters) will
work, as that is designed for FSK and I would prefer to stick with AFSK, as
I have that working and I don't wish to change any settings or wiring when
going over to SSB.
What works best as a SSB filter and how I do I select that and tailor it?
I tried using a 1.8kHz filter and doing an IF shift totally to the right to
capture the 2125Hz tone, but I think I am going about this all wrong.
Someone said there's a way to select a lower "note" to listen to in MTTY and
filter on that, but I am lost, so reaching out to the experts.
Been on HF, VHF and contesting CW/SSB a long time, but barely dabble in
RTTY. Feel I could possibly be a little more active if I had some idea how
to set the filters up in these rigs so I don't get clobbered on RX.
Tnx guys
