The Oscilloscope from RFT model "EO211" showed me graphically Mark | Space in RTTY mode, which was used together with the EKV02. My first computer was an ATARI 800XL with an ATARI 1010 diskette station and a homemade RTTY modem using TTL technology. The program (like the Kantronics KAM) used enabled me to send and receive in CW, RTTY with 45.45 / 50/75/100, ASCII, FEC and WX-Fax reception on the shortwave bands. In 1986 was the absolute high-tech in amateur radio in the GDR!
I have been involved in the amateur radio hobby for 10 years. In 1988 I got the license (class 2). So I was a co-user at the club station Y47ZL of the former VEB steel and rolling mill in Groeditz. From now on was my call sign Y47UL, qrv in Morse telegraphy, Radiotelephony and Radio teletype.

According to the manufacturer, the HAL1200 is currently the smallest and lightest power amplifier in this class on the market. With an input of 25-35 watts, in the PA, which is equipped with 4 high power MOSFET transistors of the type SD2933, delivers a typical output power of 1200W PEP in SSB. Fully automatic operation is possible with the built-in band decoder. In addition, the control can also be carried out by the transceiver via a cable.
