I'm interested in getting an RTTY unit, preferably with AMTOR capability. The prices of the commercial units vary wildly, and I have no clue as to the quality differences. I have a fine RFI-free computer terminal, but would rather not buy a cheap computer (VIC-20, etc.), so the software/modem combos are not what I want. I'm interested in a variety of speeds and shifts, so I can listen to commercial RTTY as well. Any advice? Are there big differences in modem quality? Some AMTOR units supposedly implement only a subset of AMTOR modes; which ones would I be missing? The new Kantronics "Universal Terminal Unit" seems inexpensive, and perhaps well suited to what I want, but their ads contain little information, and the local store has none yet. I will summarize any info I get in another message. Thanks. --Dan, N6ICX, ucbvax!halbert, Halbert.PA@Xerox (arpa), Halbert.PA (Xerox)
