Question for the history channel. I have a fairly late model 775DSP that 
  I am now able to use with a Rigblaster Pro on PSK31, FSK, etc. My 
concern is the power level to use with RTTY. The specs and manual rate 
the radio at 200 watts for RTTY, but I am inclined to use the AM rating 
of 50 watts since RTTY is also continuous.

What is the experience/opinion of the group as to the proper power 
setting for RTTY? (Bearing in mind I am also a member of the LPCA - Low 
Power Crummy Antenna group - W9INN 5 band dipole in my attic. I live in 
the Peoples' Republic of Pond Hollow - deed restrictions, etc.)

Tnx es 73, Carl WCØV
