[RTTY] RTTY with ACOM1000

[Mark Perrin]

I use the ACOM 1000 for all modes, including heavy use for RTTY.  Typically 
I only run it at 600 watts out, but have contested with it at 800 watts out 
for extended times. I find that is sufficient power for contesting. No 
problems.

Of course, when I need to work a new one, no problem with as much as 1200 
watts out for limited periods of time.  Not often do that though.

This is a wonderful amp.
