Floyd et all
For most of the standard messages the transmit and receive commands can be
embedded in the DX4WIN pre-programmed RTTY message function keys using "/"
and "%T" at the end of the line.The most useful info I have seen on this
was sent to me a few weeks ago by Larry K8UT and John WA9ALS. The info is
on John's WEB page at....
http://www.qsl.net/wa9als/dx4win-mmtty-macros.rtf .
For the uninitiated with a couple of extra COM ports on your computer the
info on setting up your system to use MMTTY with DX4WIN is at
http://www.qsl.net/wa9als/dx4win-mmtty-hardware.rtf
Doing this in no way affects the use of MMTTY with Writelog, but as I said
above it will cost you two extra COM ports ( one of which was no longer
needed when I retired my PK-232 so really I only needed one more COM port)
IF your radio supports FSK then making a simple "one transistor modem"
(and yet another COM port ......well I have 10 COM ports on my PC don't you
...8^) will allow MMTTY to key your radio FSK input directly rather than
use AFSK and the additional problems associated with that approach.
