RTTY tail

I'd love to know the secret of defeating the long tail after a rtty
transmission. Ive been told to send the prosign IM but it has
never worked. Any hints?

73,
Steve AA4V

Re: RTTY tail

Did you send didit dahdah or diditdahdah?
The second should work.

Works perfectly well! Just give it as one single sign, i.e. ..-- with no pauses in-between. It's all about timing ...

Re: RTTY tail

The prosign works but it seems to be very sensitive to proper cw timing. I have found a workaround to this is to slow down the keyer speed. It is finicky at contest speeds but if I drop down to 20-23 wpm, I find it reads the prosign much more consistently.

I've programmed one of the CW memories to include the 'pipe' character at the end: DE K0DTJ |. It isn't sent when on CW and it stops the RTTY tail immediately. For me sending ..-- as a single character is unreliable at best.

IM can also be put into a CW memory with a vertical bar and used with RTTY. See the K3/KX3 help on the CW memory editor. May not apply to all cases, but you might have a memory that says something like DE your call |

Re: RTTY tail

I think being able to send RTTY with a paddle is very cool, but I don’t think I'm the only RTTY contester who is frustrated when it's done in a contest. A contest program such as N1MM+ is free and works so well, and you won’t break the stride of the station you're calling.

Using a paddle to send RTTY is a novelty or maybe appropriate if it's the only way to work a needed DXpedition, but my personal wish is that it wouldn't be used in RTTY contests.

YES! You'll also need MMTTY, which integrates nicely with it.
