[Elecraft] HAL ST-8000A RTTY T/U

[Pete Ferrand]

Hi Jim:

When I ran an ST-8000 (not A) 20+ years ago I usually set it up to regenerate the tones on receive. Then I ran the tones into a KAM and used an appropriate KAM type program. Transmit was usually from the KAM directly as the setup was simpler and I didn't see a real advantage in using the HAL.

Today you could do the same thing with a sound card instead of the KAM. Might be able to regenerate on transmit as well - could be cleaner that way, don't remember if it's possible.

>Anyone on here using a HAL ST-8000A RTTY Terminal Unit with the K3?  Looking for information on interfacing one to ANY ham rig, not necessarily just a K3 and also info on a good terminal program that will read standard baudot code over the RS-232 I/O of the 8000A.  There used to be several terminal emulators that understood Baudot at 45.45 baud (60 wpm) but those I've been able to locate won't run on 64 bit Windows 7 Pro, even in a command prompt (DOS) window so I'm wondering if anyone knows of something that will actually work.  It needs to be either free or very inexpensive.
