WOW...seems a bit harsh? The button on my TS-870 says FSK, so it must be
sending FSK? I consider myself a complete "appliance operator", and I can
live with that! I also depend on "those on the other end of my
transmissions" to advise me if/when something is wrong? I've been chastised
several times for posting "incorrect frequency" RTTY spots, but I've waited,
after posting them, and the masses always seem to find the spotted station!
I fail to see what difference it makes where the station(s) are, as long as
I can print them?
