[GreenKeys] Dovetron Tempest RTTY Terminal Unit MPC-1000T

[Don Robert House]

Several people have told me that the Flesher units are not worth  
fooling with.  I have one I bought on eBay for $9.00 and have never  
tried to use it.
The Dovetrons are about the best TUs out there but the Tempest  
version has no high voltage loop supply.  You need a separate circuit  
to convert the low level mil interface to a loop.
If I were you I would look for a MPC-1000C or 1000R or 1000CR.  If  
you can't find one of those the HAL ST-6 and ST-6000 both have high  
voltage loop supplies built in.

I have a spare HAL ST-5000 but I do not know if it has a built in  
supply. I will look in the manual and let you know.

HI
I was wondering if any one could let me know if this would be a good  
unit to buy to hook up to a teletype machine
to receive rtty. I have a Flesher Corporation TU-300 that I am  
currently trying to get adjusted. So far I have tried to get
RY RY and keep getting TTTT. The up side is that I finally got one of  
these to peck out something. So I look at this a
positive thing. I have read that some are using Dovetron units but I  
do not know what the difference in them are. I
am waiting on a couple of books and have read some of the manuals  
that I have but they do not cover this.
Any help for a newbie will be appreciated.

Thanks
