[Elecraft] The K2 and RTTY

[Don Wilhelm]

Lee,

The K2 does not do FSK.  It would take some major mods to make that happpen.
The RTTY mode could likely be better labeled 'DATA' or 'DIGI' because to is
well suited to use with the soundcard digital modes.

Unlike your PROII, the K2 offers more control over the filters by offering a
separate set of filters for RTTY mode.
