[Dx4win] PROBLEM WITH DX4Win and MMTTY (and coincidentally with PSK31)

[kr6c at roadrunner.com]

Good Morning,

The lack of transmit almost sounds like the proper comm port, or settings
are not correct. I have occasionally had problems after Microsoft pushed
their updates and need to go and check/reset settings.

If you can actually hear the RTTY signals, have it centered properly on the
MMTTY screen, and it prints gibberish, make sure you are on the right
sideband.  I also don't know if you are using FSK or AFSK, and keyline or
VOX activation.

I have to use EXTFSK 1.06 program as the MMTTY/PSK keying source on my
FT-1000MP and run FSK.  I use COM7, FSK output=TXD and PTT=RTS.  Once you
have EXTFSK loaded you can select it in MMTTY as the com source.  This has
worked well for me.

I too much prefer RTTY/PSK and some other digital modes with FLDIGI as the
lack of human in the loop with FT8 type modes does not give me a thrill. I
also like to hear the RTTY/PSK signal and listening to FT8 reminds me of the
first day of band class, learning how to play the flute!

Hope this helps

Hi I hope there is some one on here who can advise me? I am running DX4Win
ver 9.0.9.1259.
 
I recently had a problem with the SOUND setup in my W10 PC and could not
operate digi modes. That seems to now be resolved as I can now operate
WSJT-X (not that I really want to) and RTTY directly to the MMTTY program.
This had been working faultlessly for the past three years plus until it
suddenly stopped at the beginning of Sept.

 After some difficulty and assistance we have got it working. However if I
try to operate using the interface from DX4Win the MMTTY windows appear and
there is noise on the screen printing rubbish. I cannot find any FSK
signals, as everyone is on FT8! Nevertheless as I get rubbish on the screen
I assume that it would print out serious copy if there were any. The problem
that I have found is that I cannot TX. If I try to send RYs the two tones
appear on the screen but the rig does not go to TX. 

 

Coincidentally I tried the PSK module inside DX4Win that receives and
decodes PSK but will not go into TX.

 

I assume there is a common setting that I have not ticked or something? I
have looked at the help files but they don't.

 

Many 73
