Everybody has an opinion and I do too. Let's dive into this.
First the New Radio project is on hold for now. I like my TS-480sat
and I probably will get another one next year. Right now I want a 5
watt CW radio that I can take portable. I like to build kits so that is
the route I am taking.
As for FSK...my issue deals with the fact that my TS-480 does not show
my true transmit frequency when using AFSK on LSB. My transmit is 2.1
Khz lower. Running True FSK on this radio will fix that. I am
purchasing a RigExpert TI-8 Data and Radio Interface with the matching
cable for my TS-480.
I have used MMTYY and 2 Tone and I really do not have a preference for
either one. I use MMTTY for general RTTY QSO's and for testing.
All this being said...what I have is what I am going to use and MMTTY, 2
Tone and RTTY bandwidth is what it is going to be. All I can do is build
the best I can with my limited resources.
Right now my current project is a new operating desk. Glass top desks
are not the best for that. Ever tried to drill holes in glass? I will
make a new one out of 2 x 4 lumber and Melanine sheets.
RTTY is my primary mode and I build most of my stuff to that end. I am
also a big fan of CW and I use that mode a lot when I am not
contesting. I don't even own a microphone.
I hope you all had a great weekend past and take care.
