THANK YOU for this; it's the very information I've been seeking for years. We used to HAVE a real, mechanical unit...the tape reader, too. Back then (1978) getting a box to decode this stuff was like a moon landing, it was so high-tech. Now, my phone decodes it. Go figure. I've suffered medical problems including brain damage, so I probably will never transmit...but it's good to know I can at least receive. Thanks again!
Thanks for this...very informative. A mate and I had been trying for about 10 hrs to get it working. Found a channel and saw a conversation after 3mins of this video...it's so addictive now!
last time I was on RTTY was in 1970s with a recevier and Model15 machine that go "chug-chug-chug." Next time when I'm at the club shack, they have a PC with FLDIGI, I will tune to some of these RTTY freq and see what I can get. I didn't know about aligning the lines in the waterfall, thanks for showing this.
fldigi is pretty cool was using it just to decode CW but will try decoding RTTY next - easy enough to switch modes. This particular QSO between W9IKU WB5MXO is interesting because both have the first name "Guy", very unlikely. The chances of that happening at random is 1 in 11.111111 million! 99,258 "Guy's" in the U.S. / 330,858,686 people in the U.S. = 0.0003 Probability of two guys =p(GUY)*p(GUY)=0.00000009 1/0.00000009=11,111,111
rob b Ah... True silliness, is touting your profound education towards someone, who was asking to learn. What an abysmal contradictory statement you vomited. How proud you must feel.
Im just starting out learnig about the digital modes. I've decoded RTTY 45 but in between transmissions I just get random characters being printed to screen. Does anyone know why this is? Is it due to noise or something else? Thanks.
@@OfficialSWLchannel, thanks. I'll see what I can do to reduce it. Im using the audio out that would normally go to a tape recorder and the volume isn't adjustible except for the input to the sound card. I can also try turning down the RF gain. Unfortunately im using an indoor long wire with no ATU at the moment.
Thank you for posting, but this doesn't show us how to do anything but to chose RTTY in the op menu and there, it works.... well.... how to hook to rig for example? What about the dozens of settings in the menus? IP address? and so forth.. need to have the INFO! How is the audio getting from the rig to the PC?
I hear RTTY daily here on 20 and 40 meters also other modes, FT8 is popular but there are a lot of users of other modes you just need to take the time and tune around
@@OfficialSWLchannel I use rtty evert time i am on the radio but does not seem many folks use it now i have had plenty of contacts on rtty but mostly when the contests are on at the weekends .When i look on the dx cluster sites its 99%ft8.
it's a question of keeping up the activity, problem is most people don't do it thinking no one every uses it ... FT8 is popular mostly cause when you don't have much power and a modest station, it is easier for DX but I hear many other modes regularly, just keep trying

nice to see I have helped out !

19 and started getting into a websdr love learning knew things like this

Thank you for this video. It is very informative 😊 Just getting into digital mode radio but also use CW and learning RTTY.
Thank you sharing your knowledge with us.
Thank you for an awesome video!
Thanks for good infrom, enjoy much you video. 73

99,258 "Guy's" in the U.S. / 330,858,686 people in the U.S. = 0.0003
Probability of two guys =p(GUY)*p(GUY)=0.00000009
1/0.00000009=11,111,111
Are you decoding in Upper (USB) or Lower (LSB) side-band?
All digital modes are decoded in USB
Very good Demo.
Are the 2 waterfalls for full duplex?
Is there a typical expected distance in miles?

rob b Hmm... So you are saying, UA-cam is not a place to get educated?
rob b There is no difference between a retarded question and a retarded statement.
Very cool Thanks

normal its the noise that generates this

Are you on the correct side band ?
How is the laptop connected to the radio what is the port on the laptop?
Through an audio modem or usb sound dongle to audio in and out
what sound card are you using ?
integrated realtek HD audio that comes with the laptop
@@OfficialSWLchannel think a signa link will work ok ?
Is it possible to use that software to chat on PMR 446 frequencies ?
no
Hi Do l need FLRIG for my ft 991 l am a Mac user g6tmo
Which receiver you are using?
Gilberto A. Rivera Icom IC R8500
Thanks.
Can FLDIGI run on a chrome book computer? Maybe with a stick drive ? How about CW too??
theres an apk file for android phones out now.
Now this would be useful if you could pipe a text file in as input or indeed do the reverse and pipe received text out into a file.

Rtty is hardly ever used now its all ft8 which is a pity.

True. RTTY only becomes active during RTTY contests.😢
With rtty, Who needs discord chat? Lol 73
