[RTTY] Information please

[John Barber]

If you are already set up for another data mode, using AFSK, it's simple. I
started by downloading JT65-HF, set it up and watched the results. On most
HF bands the radio is set to .076 dial frequency.
JT65-HF was disappointing in the user interface and facilities, so I tried
the JT65-HF HB9HQX-Edition improved version, which has been excellent.

I have never tried these modes, but I would like to, where do I start.
