[RTTY] Additional problems - need Elmer

[Andrew J. O'Brien]

How bad is it with the PC on but monitor off ?  Sometimes it is the monitor 
that is the main source of the problem, in such cases changing the display 
setting can improve things.    Is it bad for EVERY band?  I have some 
problems on 80 meters but other bands are nice and clean.  If the main 
problem is the proximity of the long wire to the PC, you will probably find 
that your transmitted signal is "dirty" and will cause 
distortions/objectionable PSK31/RTTY signals.
