[RTTY] Value of Icom Rigs with RTTY Decoders

[Claude Du Berger]

I think that with the microHAM micro Keyer and a keyboard
you could transmit RTTY...

  I read the FB QRZ review of the IC-7000 and was surprised that it only
  decodes RTTY.  What good is a rig with a RTTY decoder only?  I don't see the
  need or appreciate  the value of a built-in decoder unless the rig comes
  with software for doing something with the data and that will let you
  transmit. 

  What am I missing on the value of a rig with a  built-in RTTY decoder?
