[Elecraft] RTTY in days of old

[Bob]

Hi Jim,

            What do mean by  "used to"?   Have a Timewave 59Y that outputs 
Baudot and is interfaced to a Model 15. Elecraft content, line out of
the K3 drives the Timewave.   The mechanical aspects of the old TTY machines are 
more interesting than the software of today, IMHO.

             There is an ST6 here that "ran when parked" years ago. Used with 
SB300/400, also still here.

73,
Bob
