[RTTY] Clipped calls

[peter.jackson17 at ntlworld.com]

Its on incoming calls  ie: KNU (sometimes &KNU) 599 001 001 G3KNU.
My concern if they leave my call of the end I am not sure if they have my 
call sign correct.

If you mean that you are not seeing what the other station sends, rather
than that the first character of your own messages is not being
transmitted, that makes it sound as if your system is not returning to
receive quickly enough at the end of your transmissions, and the start
of the other station's message is getting covered up by your
transmitter. Can you monitor your outgoing transmissions, and if so are
you hearing a long squelch tail or period of diddle after the end of
your transmitted texts?
