[RTTY] RTTY Digest, Vol 104, Issue 25

Sat Aug 13 06:43:31 PDT 2011

kind along the same lines, sort of, I also have a ft857d , a great do 
all rig..   in it I now have a 500hz filter--my question to the group, 
is there a way to use either this filter , or the digital filer when 
running afsk??  Having filter in this mode would be of great help 
especially on the dx end... thanks   good luck  k 73 john w8wej
(from my reading of the manual, it seems like the filters are dedicated 
to either cw or ssb)--
