By the way, my TS2000 is one year old today, one year at my shack. With the TS-2000 being my first rig that could do FSK RTTY, I have not got around to much RTTY contesting in the past year. I dabbled a little today in the CQ RTTY contest, my old RTTY contesting used to be exclusively AFSK sound card RTTY. I have mainly used Winwarbler for FSK with the TS-2000, but in the RTTY contest this weekend I used N1MM Logger and the MMTTY Engine. I had a few odd things happen, 4-5 times I could have sworn that the station I was working moved up the dial a few Hz. I was in hunt and pounce mode. I tuned the station, decoded him, transmitted, and they answered. A few times in the QSOs I noticed them 100-200 Hz from where they started . One station that this happened to came back to me and said I was "off frequency". When operating FSK RTTY, is it standard to work with NET and AFC OFF? I had both off during the contest, since I assume that with FSK I need to transmit exactly where I tuned the station (I used the MMTTY spectrum display to tune the station precisely). I wonder if the stations that appeared to drift were stations with their AFC "on", and something drew them up the band a little ? Maybe I am doing something wrong with MMTTY in N1MM? I had MMTTY set for the standard "HAM" profile. How does one ensure you are "on frequency" in FSK RTTY ?
