[RTTY] luggable rtty station

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

Err, the 756PROIII weighs just about the same as the 746PRO,
(21+ vs 20-) and is a more capable radio.  They're also just about the
same volume, too.

   I personally would go with IC-746pros. Full-output 100% duty cycle, the rx
   is quite gud, built-in rtty demod and not very heavy!

   hi - I currently find myself often guest operating at local 'super' stations
   for RTTY contests. Since these stations typically do not have RTTY set up, I
   end up lugging computer, rigs, and even SO2R aids like stub filters to these
   locations.

   I am currently hauling around my trusty pair of old FT1000Ds which I like FB
   for RTTY operation (yes, even with the crazy tuning rate), but they are very
   heavy and getting up in years - not to mention having to break them down
   from my home station and set them back up each time.

   This may be ultimately something of a fantasy exercise, but I thought I
   would poll you folks anyway to see where it led...

   So the question is: If I could, I would like a matched pair of rigs that met
   the following basic specs:

   - modern receiver specs, at least as good as my 1000Ds with INRAD roofing
   and 250/400 hz filters

   - relatively light weight

   - FSK required

   - comfortable at 100W with RTTY contest duty cycles

   So, if you could, what would you recommend?

   thanks very much! - jeff wk6i
