I'll be running my FT-980 on RTTY for the NAQP contest this weekend. I use AFSK w/ fldigi via a SignalinkUSB interface.?
The setup works well (also use it for FT4/8), and I have no fear running the RTTY signal to 80W+ ... the FT-980 finals aren't going to burn out :) It is rare that both fans kick in even in digital contesting.
The only thing I don't like is that I can't kick-in the 300Hz filter when in a SSB mode. That would help somewhat with strong adjacent signals ... more than the notch and PB filters allow.
