I'd like to find a UGC-129, as it can go in a rack on a slide-out shelf. I really don't want to haul in one of my Kleinschmidt machines from the GRC-142 shelter with the GRC-106/MD-522, but I can run RTTY from there as well. The machines need a little dusting and lubing before I use them there.

I also have a Dovetron Tempest, which I can use, but I bought a never used, AFSK board for the Harris RF-350 and I'd like to use that from the shack. I haven't installed it yet in the RF-350. Another reason I'd like to get one of these MITE type machines, is that neither the Dovetron, nor the RF-350 AFSK board has a loop supply for a traditional mechanical machine.

Another setup (I need a MITE type machine there also) is the Collins MRC-95 with the TTY modem in it with the 618T-3 transceiver, which I just have to stuff back in the cabinet (a.k.a."coffin") and will be ready to go on the air.

Just put up a quick video of last Saturdays RTTY net, we were on 7.085 being there was already someone on 7.087

I ran all Harris radios with a Dovetron modem and a UGC-129 TTY machine and we had about a half a dozen people participating.

We do not discriminate in terms of modern equipment but we all prefer to run vintage military hardware and real teleprinters.
