No, but I have other radios and a PK-232MBX that can fake a 110 baud TTY. Take me a while to dig out the serial converter and remember how to make a linux terminal window talk to it.

I dislike SSB and AM since I'm hard of hearing now.

Spark gap is pretty much CW only. And unlawful these days.

I talked to a trucker once for about 10 minutes before the signal was lost....: through a 50W solidstate Peavey amp, assorted effect pedals, and a single-coil pickup on a Strat... we were jammin in a warehouse near a highway

True Story, there were witnesses!

Why is a spark transmitter illegal? Too much bandwidth?
