Allan,

Once with my FT-1000MP and computer running MTTY, I got a single tone on RTTY.
It took me a while to figure it out but I eventually concluded that it was RF coupling that was
taking place as I had moved my cables around on the back of the equipment.  It had never done it
before.  It did not happen with the 1500 W. amplifier off.  

I placed two turns through a snap on ferrite on the RTTY cable which ran between my RTTY interface
box and the FT-1000MP and it went away.

Obviously your mileage will vary!

Can anyone help with this problem
Re AEA PC-Pakratt-II   PK 232MBX
I was operating RTTY and all of a sudden I was only transmitting
a single tone that wasn't modulated.  I can receive fine and the transmit buffer works, but when I
press F3 to transmit I only transmit a CW tone even the the transmiited characters are being sent
on the screen.  I tried it in the Morse Code mode and the same thing happens.  Obviously the
connection to tjhe computer is still good as well as the connection from the TNC.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Much appreciated
Thanks
Allan W2TN
