For some time, I've been toying with the idea of trying RTTY and
PSK31, but the general sense I've gotten from the very helpful comments from
folks on this list who have tried them is that RTTY works pretty well, but
PSK31 is pretty kludgy.
There's a guy in my radio club who is game to try helping me with
this, but he has a few questions.
1. How accessible is MixW or Ham Radio Deluxe with JAWS? Can they
be used for PSK31 and/or RTTY?
2. Has anyone had experience with the West Mountain Radio Rig
Blaster Plug and Play or the TigerTronics SignaLink.
Please forgive me if any of this is jumbled. I wrote down what he
mentioned over the phone, but I'm really pretty much in the dark about it.
Thanks and 73,
Dave W I 3 Y
