Keith:

You are so right. Those old machines, that I never owned, were pretty noisy 
things but  one didn't have to have a computer to do RTTY.

I would suspect, many of the radios in the future will have all that stuff 
built in just like they do CW, SSB, etc now. With RTTY being so popular now 
it seems a natural.

This Box also has PSK built in but I have not tried it yet. So many modes, 
so little time :-)

Anyway, I broke the ice and maybe going forward working the DXpeditions on 
all the band modes, my score will grow faster.

Actually this mode is quieter than CW which would really sell if my rig was 
in the house where the other half is.
