[RTTY] I'm loud but they can't decode

[George Henry]

Since you're using AFSK, consider the possibility that you are overdriving the 
radio...  Is the AGC kicking in?  If so, back off the output volume on the 
computer until there's no AGC action.  If the radio doesn't have AGC, then start 
with the volume all the way down, activate the test tone in MMTTY, and advance 
the volume only to the point where the power output of the rig stops increasing 
(into a dummy load, of course), then back off a tiny bit.

Having the wrong baud rate or tone wouldn't explain why PSK isn't working, 
either.
