[TenTec] FSK

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I too used my Omni VI+ and later my Omni VII in true FSK mode for RTTY 
using an external terminal unit.   Later I gave up all the extra cables 
and hardware and switched to AFSK.  I saw no difference or advantage one 
way or the other.   Agreed, the AFSK configuration does require closer 
attention to levels  but I found 80 to 90 watts output was very adequate 
and a very clean signal. External PA cooling is required in all 
cases.    The advantage using AFSK for RTTY is not having to swap 
connectors and cables when I wanted to work PSK-31 or other audio 
digital modes.
