[RTTY] FSK with a 440/ Was TS 450 for rtty

[Andrew J. O'Brien]

I have had a TS440 for 16 years.  I DID have problems with transmit briefly 
conking out for a few seconds every few months, that turned out to be a bad 
solder joint, with that fixed it has been perfect for the last 14 years. 
Best $1200 I ever spent.

Back when I was trying to figure out why RTTY ops were making a big deal 
about FSK versus AFSK I fould this email

Thanks for all the responses, it seems the FSK button is a misnomer and only
results in AFSK anyhow. I will stay with the AFSK  I have and wait for an
upgrade in the station which should happen in June of 01 when all master's 
and
bachelor's degrees will have been bought and paid for.:-)

I took the above to mean a 440 could not do FSK, so I wonder if a 450 can ?
