GE OMs;


I ran an SB-101 for YEARS on RTTY and never had a problem.

o Put a cooling fan over the finals.

o Put a cooling fan over the power supply.

o Tune up for full power and then back the power down just a bit.

o If using AFSK, don't overdrive it.

o Irv Hoff told me a trick for running AFSK (and this is a bit
   sketchy): If you replace the USB crystal with a LSB crystal,
   the center of bandwidth will be perfect for normal 2125/2295 tones.
   I unsoldered the USB crystal, drilling a hole in either the
   circuit board or the chassis, and mounted a SPDT mini-toggle switch.
   To switch to RTTY/USB all I had to do was open the cover and
   flip the switch.

UE,
