[RTTY] Information please

[Richard White]

I am working RTTY about 90% of the time now as I can't copy  CW as I once
did.  With propagation as bad as it is I am considering buying an amp. Have
not had one for over 15 years. On RTTY I can copy many calls but they can't
copy my 75 watt signal on my 4 element beam and that is frustrating.

With a limited budget I am considering a AL-811H or the AL-811.  I would
like to know how either rig works with RTTY. Also how much  output power
from the rig do they need to get 200 or 300 watts from the amp.  Also, the
Ameritron  video on the 811H shows using an interface to protect the radio.
Is this really necessary?
