GA Oms;
When I got started in RTTY, after the model 15, I
picked up a model 14 TD.
I couldn't get it to work.
When I showed it to someone they said that the
transmission head was wrong.
Instead of 6 22.ms bits (1 start / 5 data / 1 stop bit)
it had something more like 6 11.ms bits (1 start / 5 data /1 stop bit)
and the stop bit was huge.
I tried soldering the entire ring together and then cutting it
to fit the standard bit times, but when you're talking about
MILLISECONDS, it's pretty tough to cut something that accurately.
Has anyone seen something like that - and what was it used for?
