Everything you need to
run RTTY — on a phone.

Live Baudot decode & waterfall

A real ITA2 demodulator copies text over the air into a scrolling pane, with a live waterfall and mark/space tuning cursors so you park right on the signal. A squelch gate keeps noise off the screen.

Real FSK transmit

Not a toy. RTTYAF keys your rig — CAT, RTS or DTR PTT — and plays a clean continuous-phase Baudot-FSK signal out the sound card. Hit STOP and it drops the carrier cleanly.

Programmable macros

One-tap CQ, answer, report and 73 keys with {VAR} substitution — your call, the worked call, RST and exchange fill themselves in as the QSO runs.

USB CAT radio control

Drive your rig directly over USB-C — CAT frequency/PTT control, audio, and a broad rig-model list, inherited from FT8AF's battle-tested cable stack.

Contest logging & upload

A running serial, dupe check, and exchange capture with live score and multipliers — then auto-upload to Cloudlog and QRZ the moment a QSO is logged.

Tunable modem

45.45 and 75 baud, 170 Hz shift, adjustable mark/space tones, USOS and reverse — set it to match the band and copy weak signals through the noise.

73 from the road

Like FT8AF before it, RTTYAF was vibe-coded on I-70 at 70 mph, heading to and from Hamvention — laptop on the passenger seat, radio in the back, Claude in the loop. Some of the best debugging happens at highway speed.
