[GreenKeys] Xitek

[John Beckman]

Well, I must jump in to the Xitek conversation. That board was my first 
video RTTY, preceding the DS-3100 and 3200. Like Ed Tanton, I still have 
mine somewhere in a metal box. Mine was not a CW converter, just the 
Baudot to Video conversion and I believe it was just keyed off the 60ma 
loop and I fed it into a 9" monitor that rested on a small board atop my 
28asr. I don't recall any "adjustments" connected to it, and mine didn't 
have a keyboard. I later built a diode matrix baudot keyboard using one 
of the Radio Shack keyboards when they were the hot stuff.
You guys are bringing back too many memories. Those were the halcyon 
days of RTTY when one could whomp up a bunch of TTL and make your 
machine look like a computer on the other end, long before home 
computers became practical (and affordable.)
