I noticed that you said you were running at 100W. That may be your problem. RTTY is a 100% duty cycle mode and I believe your rig may be overheating to the point of self-protection (shutdown).
When I run data modes, I normally reduce power to 25W. I have never had the same problem you describe. -- 73 de Dick, ka1oz Elecraft K3/100(K) #859 G5RV Doublet Titan-DX Vertical On Sat, 2012-09-29 at 17:08 +0100, David G4DMP wrote: > It has happened to me a few times, Mike.
