PSK /RTTY/ NAVTEX
RTTY is still popular and heard on the amateur radio bands on a very regular basis, especially at weekends and during contest periods. There are numerous software packages to choose from. But for me I think the truetty program takes a lot of beating and is the only one I use now. Multipsk again is very good. There are some links near the bottom of the page where you can go directly to the programmer’s site and make your own mind up.
W1AW still sends some of their bulletins using RTTY / PSK / CW . There are weather forecasts still sent using teletype from two German coast stations
FLDIGI is one of my favorite RTTY /PSK programmes - there is a version that runs on a Raspberry Pi . Below is a screen shot of the windows version ( but the Raspberry Pi version looks the same)

INSTALLING FLDIGI ON
A RASPBERRY PI THE EASY WAY
The easiest way to install FLDIGI on a Raspberry Pi is thru the
add/remove software function - just type 'FLDIGI' in the
search box and follow the instructions
TRUETTY
Above is a screen grab of TRUETTY
To
control your transmiiter tou
will need an interface of some kind for ptt / audio
out from the computer to the tcvr
microphone / audio into the computer sound card. check my circuits page out or you could buy a
unit from the internet
TRUETTY only installs on windows platform
MARINE TELETYPE AND
NAVTEX
There are a few marine weather stations still sending weather / navigational reports using RTTY
|
Both FLDIGI and TRUTTY can be used to decode the RTTY sent by the above weather stations - LINPSK ( Raspberry Pi only ) will not decode 50 bauds / 425 hz shift
It only decodes ham radio RTTY i.e 45 bauds / 170 hz shift - see the bottom of the page to down load LINPSK
or 518 khz ( international ) with some stations now utilising 4.209.6 mhz
Below is a screen shot from Frisnit that decodes navtex messages
LINPSK RTTY / PSK Decoder
LINPSK is for Raspberry Pi only - its a pity there is no 50 baud / 425 hz shift
It can be installed through the add/remove programs in Raspberry pi OS
