anyone has had any luck copying CW, RTTY, FAX, NAVTEX with a decoder?

I use a Kenwood R2000 with 50Hz tuning resolution.
Worked great for RTTY, both baudot and ASCII, and
for HF AX25. I have used severl different home brew
RTTY demods and a MFJ1278. I had very good results
on HF FA, mainly weather, with the JV?FAX program.
The only thing that might bite you is narrow, 200Hz,
shift. A lot of hams run 170HZ and that was a little
dicey in bad band conditions.
More important then super fine, 10Hz or better tunning,
is that the reciever not drift. Drift will get you chasing
your tail real fast.
CW, unless machine sent, is hard to get above ~70%
decode accuracy. Too many hams have lousy "fists" that
make machine decoding, or even ear decdoing, and interesting
proposition. Perhaps the decoders have improved.
Good luck.

The email address is NOT valid, that is, I no longer
check it due to the intense spam and hate mail I have
received. It apears that some people have a serious
disagreement with the concept of a 9:1 matching
transfomer improving reception.
