Great RTTY is stilll alive. Started in the 70s with a mechanic Teletype and a ST6 homebrew Covertor with 88mh Toroids.. Long time since then.. 73 de Tom HB9DOD KL5X
Thank for another great video Tom. I have watched your ic7100 videos end to end and they have taught me so much. I cant seem to get my 7100 to transmit sstv(mmsstv) any advice ? Thanks for the great videos.
The most common issues I see with “not transmitting” problems is that the radio is not getting audio from your computer. Make sure the 7100 mode shows “-D” for “Data” mode. Make sure that you have Data Mode Modulation set to come from the USB port in the Connectors Settings menu. Finally, make sure that your settings in MMsstv are set to the right audio device. It should be something with “USB CODEC” in it.
Probably the biggest suggestion is just practice and get really comfortable with FLDigi. You will especially want to have your macros setup ahead of time.
Hi. Sorry to hear you’re having trouble. For the normal setup with FLDigi you will want the radio set to LSB-D, not RTTY. You also need to have the modulation input set to the USB port for data mode.
I just don't understand why there are such significant differences in my 4.2.04 and the on screen config. Ie. Yours shows LSB-D, mine does not even show that in the pulldown. It shows "PKTLSB." If I put my rig in rtty, and the fldigi in rtty, it sees the badot, but doesn't decode...so frustrated!
You didn't mention which radio you are using. I assume a 7300? Are you using the correct rig configuration file (for the 7300)? FLDigi (and most digital mode programs) send audio to the radio to simulate the tones you would get by actually shifting the radio's carrier. So you need to have the rig in LSB, rather than in RTTY mode. It is not really intuitive. The -D after LSB means the radio is in Data mode, instead of voice. So it is expecting to get it's audio from the USB port instead of the microphone. I hope this helps.
Great video and tnx for making the pointer easy to follow. Hardly anyone does this and then I get distracted trying to find the pointer instead of listening to the presentation.

I don't know anything about RTTY, but your excellent how-to videos taught me almost everything I know about the ICOM 7300. Thank you.
Thanks for the clear explaining of fldigicontest and showing the actual operating in the contest.

There were tons of stations on during the contest. Unfortunately, you rarely hear any RTTY signals outside of RTTY specific contests any more.
Thank you for the very informative video.
tnx
Great video Tom! I have to send some time and learn some of the older modes. CW is one of those. 73
It was nice meeting you at Winter Fest. I was very surprised to see you. Thanks for all the videos and the work that goes into them. 73 de N9JOD
Thanks Darrell. It was nice meeting you too. It was a fun hamfest!
Good job, well done, 73

I'm sure during FD it will be very busy. Any suggestions to get those contacts?

I'm darned if I can get my 7300 to Xmit on RTTY....Maybe a video on 7300 settings for this program?

@@HamRadioA2Z Thanks much! Would of never figured that out! Great series on 7300 by the way! You have saved me another bottle of Malox!👍👍
@@HamRadioA2Z thanks! Going try later today! And Replace My CHEAP FUSES!! THANKS FOR TJAT ALSO!!!
