[RTTY] new rig

[Dick White]

It looks like I will miss the SARTG contest this month as I will not have a
workable radio. I am considering a new radio and would appreciate comments
on what to buy.  Cost is a factor and should be under $2K.   I want to be
able to do good CW and RTTY,  chasing Dx,  contesting and some rag chewing.
Excessive bells and whistles are not important to me.

The Yaesu FT-920 looks intresting.  I would appreciate comments from someone
that is or has used one.  Filtering is important; how good is the CW TX/RX
and how well does the auto tuner work ?   Besides the basic radio, what else
is needed for this rig?  Will it work with my Ameritron ALS-600 amp.?

Thanks to all. I will try to get my IC-735 working in RTTY. But, without
decent filters, it is impossable to work a contest with it.
