[Dx4win] DxWin and RTTY (OZ1AXG Flam)

[Tom Brown]

Flam -

I too had some trouble getting DX4WIN working well with RTTY.  If you 
haven't already check out Jim's (AD1C) appnotes page for DX4WIN and RTTY. 
To get it working, follow the instructions EXACTLY from start to finish for 
best results.  Make sure you are looking at the most recent copy of those 
appnotes.  Jim recently updated them. Here's the link to them:
