[RTTY] Intel NUC, anyone?

[Ken K6MR]

The best RTTY interface (for FSK anyway) is the Microham.  I don’t do any “soundcard” modes, so having a bulletproof interface that just works when I need it is worth something.  I have the u2R but I believe they all pretty much work the same way.  Real UART programmed correctly.
Some limitations:  Windows only, and you need a radio that is clean when doing FSK (I have K3s).  Pricey, but so was pretty much everything else I have around here.  So in the scheme of things not an issue.

Why do some hams use a straight key for CW?  A there are any number of
keyers and interfaces that can produce perfectly timed CW using a
keyboard for input.

Still looking for the answer for commercial interface boxes - I don't
recall seeing any complaints from people that use them of
poorly-formed RTTY ...
