[Elecraft] RTTY

[brian]

This works very well.  K4CIA who never operated RTTY before a few years 
ago uses only the K3 display and built-in memories to call and work DX. 
  He has now worked over 300 RTTY countries with the K3 only one finger 
method.  No computer, sound card or RTTY program used. KISS.
