Speaking strictly for myself, I only use electromechanical TTY  devices. I 
"listen" to an internet TTY source called Heavy Metal that  sends out AP 
headline newslets. Use an old computer to "copy" the  transmissions, and a 
Black Box RS-232 to Current Loop unit to drive the  TTYs. I am getting ready to 
start (hopefully sooner than later) copying  ITTY (which is an internet 
transmission of user generated news that the  receiving computer generates an 
AFSK signal to drive a TU with. Since I  do not really like sandstate 
electronics, I am busy re-capping a TT/L-2  TU that has more tubes in it than carter 
had pills. 
 
There is really very little true RADIO RTTY on anymore, and by that  I mean 
RTTY that has the carriage return signal at the end of every line  so that 
the machines will advance lines. Without that signal, the TTY  will type to 
the end of the line and then simply hammer away at the same  last position 
on that line, giving you a nice hole in the paper. 
 
There are several true RTTY signals out there, but I have not  copied any 
so far. Search the forum here and there is at least one  weather transmission 
and then there is a very dedicated soul who is  running true RTTY on the 
amateur bands (I cannot remember either source  at the moment).
 
Hope this helps!
 
Joe
