[Elecraft] The K2 and RTTY

[Logan Zintsmaster]

I have had excellent success with the K2/100 and RTTY.  Worked several 
contests with it.  Elecraft does not recommend running at full power, 
but under contest conditions, the exchanges are so short you can get 
away with it, most of the time. 

I have had some problems with RF getting onto the K2 data bus, but 
reducing power solves the problem.  I do not have all of the K2/100 
shielding upgrades installed, yet.

As always, "your mileage may vary."
