[RTTY] mark v field

[k2qmf at juno.com]

Hi Bill,

That's interesting.  When I disconnect the antenna
from my Mark V Field the RX goes completely quiet.
In fact you can't tell that the rig is on!!!

As far as filters, you are correct, you need to buy a few
filters depending on the modes you use and a roofing filter
as well...
The Mark V Field also has DSP and the combination of
DSP and filters makes for a great contest radio.
