Hello Russ and thanks for the welcome.. Its been a long time since I was doing anything with RTTY, the introduction of the VIC20 back then kind of finished it off for me.. No body back then wanted to send
a line feed and carriage return ha ha...  I wish I had never given my 19 away back then but I hung onto my 28 for all these years..  It was actually watching Daniel Jones, K6YIC, on Youtube that sparked my
interest in the old machines again.. Everytime I walked by the old 28 it was beckoning me ha ha.. I talked with Daniel and I got brave and hooked it all up... I was also very surprised when he told me about the ITTY
signals on the internet, that blew me away.. Anyways the old gear fired right up and I was printing news on a very dried up ink ribbon.. So I am reworking a lot of scary circuitry I built 30 years ago and hope to get on HF again.
RTTY was the most fun I have ever had in my ham hobby years.. I have echoed signals off the moon on all kinds of bands but the hammering of the RTTY machines I still find more fascinating!!  Skip

Hello guys, I am fairly new to the group.. I have been reading and watching about this unit in the pixs and I would have to say it's a ST5 as I still have one and am resurrecting it from my old RTTY  days of about 30 years ago.. I used it back then with a model 19 and made many HF contacts.. Later I used it with a 28 that's geared for 100 wpm and I used the old UART gear shifter technique.. I am putting this all together right now and plan or hope to make a few contacts on HF again..  Skip

I wouldn't consider it that way.  As I understand it the ST-5 was to be
a simple TU for use where signals are good, as at VHF.  While the ST-6
was much more complex and intended for more difficult receiving
conditions.______________________________________________________________
