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.
