I got a good response to my question last week about the reasons for the FSK

Now I need to ask this - what frequencies are usually used on each band to do
RTTY? The NAQP RTTY contest is this weekend and t

Could you mention 'where' these coments are posted at so that I can read them

Listening just now on my xmas present, a Kenwood TH-F6A, on 10, 15, and 20m,
heard PLENTY of digital signals, mostly RTTY or AMTOR (which one not sure)
connected to a 11m stick in the basement here.

I have used a couple of programs for generating cw and have found that I
prefer a 'direct' keyed method (MixW) compared to the AFCW that some programs
use (FlDigi). Running Linux BTW here.
Was wondering why some programs used direct keying of the radio and others

Wondering if anyone has done any digital voice other than with

What I am looking for specifically is software done (if possible)
and then manufactured units or kits.
Would like to give it a try on VHF then move to HF if there is any
activity.

I had no problem opening the pdf that you have listed below.

I would go with a db-25 printer switch that way you have access to all pins

That's where I am considering testing PSKmail.
I am considering one of the unused Packet frequencies for starters locally
between
144.900 and 145.100MHz on FM. I would prefer to use USB between 144.265 to 144.
280MHz so as not to interfere with the CW beacons between 144.280 and 144.290.

Your correct. I wasn't paying attention to the latest upgrade as I normally give

It's what most of us here locally are using. Ubuntu is a
variatnt of Debian which is the basis for a couple of other
'flavors' of Linux.
Ubuntu and Debian come with WSJT, fldigi, and gMSFK as
