3M WHISPER WRITER TELEX

3M Whipser Writer TELEX to RTTY Conversion

Our 1984 Whisper Writer is very nice, but not too useful in its TELEX configuration. But with a little bit of reverse engineering and a new modem, we convert it into a Teletype and Radio Teletype (RTTY) tester. Which is much more useful (to us).

We give our Whisper Writer TELEX a second life as an RTTY.
