[Milsurplus] [MRCA] [MMRCG] Clatternet East? Military RTTY

Fri Apr 3 17:46:00 EDT 2020

I was doing 850 Hz shift today with Nick (K4NYW) and know he was using old school 28 teleprinter and knowing him some Navy TU, I don’t have a mechanical teleprinter now but will get one at some point but I was running 850 Hz shift on 7.087 USB feeding the RF-350 ASFK via the patch port.

Using MITTY you can use the AFC function and as long as the shift is specified the AFC will modify the tones to what ever frequency you want, not like the days of having to have fixed tones. So I am going to listen for Net Control, set my Mark frequency to 2125, turn the AFC off and tune my radio there. I would assume that will put me right for the other stations on the net? If not 2125 Hz for Mark what then?

Not trying to be difficult just curious.

I’m ready but suggest we use 850 shift, mark low, military tones.  Those of us with mil gear can operate this way.  I can do others but would need to go with the RF-350K and even with mine which has the AFSK board is mil spec shift and tones. Or I have the ST8000A which can do anything.

Have modern RAT Rig all ready to go using RF-350 K and PC that I put together running XP and a sound Blaster card using MTTY software.

Last year got feed up with UGC-74 and the 850/85 Hz only MD-522 and got rid of them. Now I find myself jonesing for a mechanical teleprinter again. Years ago I had a UGC-129 or maybe or maybe I can find one of the Mite teleprinters? Hell of a time for all the Ham Fest to be canceled.

Just don't have the floor space for something big and impressive like a model 28

Yay!

Ground-breaking RATT QSO between Ray and me just now.

Nick,
On Saturdays, we usually start early around 9:30 so as to hold the frequency for the 10AM net so that may not be the place to test RTTY at that time.  Since Ray appears to be your clatternet partner in crime, how about you guys work to what suits your schedules to prove this out.  From there you guys can name a time and frequency and post it to the group.  We can also put it on the groups homepage and the website.  This is the motivation I need to dust off some of the RTTY gear that keeps following me home.
