   Howdy! Again Daryl,   
      
   In the early 1980's before I got my Commodore 64, I used a Netronics   
   ASCII Keyboard and Videoboard for RadioTeletype with a RF Modulator   
   between the Videoboard and a TV Set.   
      
   I used a 555 IC for the Audio Frequency Shift Keyer, and I used the   
   Audio Demodulator circuit portion of an Popular Electronics magazine's   
   RTTY Reader project that had several 7-segment LED's for it's display.   
      
   One night I was in a QSO on HF and my Brother-In-Law was watching me   
   while I was Chatting with another Ham.   
      
   So I typed the BIL's name on the keyboard as I told the Ham about Him   
   watching what I was doing.   
      
   The other Ham typed Hello to the BIL, and that got His attention seeing   
   His Name on the TV sets screen.   
      
    DS>   I'll use that now at future demos. :)   
   I will have to add D-Rats to my ROUNDTUIT List, to learn more about it,   
   Thank You!
