[Dxbase] MMD/DX Base interface notes

My rig is a ft1000mp.
I operate rtty in fsk mode using the RTY button.
I operate psk via the PKT button which is really sending out a audio signal in LSB.

I can now use the new add in mdd.exe and mmtty.exe and as I have the frequency turned off 
in mdd.exe, it logs mmtty station as rtty in DXBAse
If I switch to Joe's new DXBPSK, my rig is now in PKT/LSB mode and qso's automatically are 
logged as DIGITAL/PSK31.

> Hi all,

> After trying MMD with MMTTY and DX Base, here are a couple of suggestions. IF you have

> and turn off sending frequency information to DX Base (i.e. check the do-not-send 
> option). Otherwise it will send 14000.0 to DX Base (or whatever the default band is in

> anything else), make your default PSK mode RTTY. This will populate the MODE column with 
> RTTY when you use MMTTY. Otherwise, so far, I've found no other combination of settings 
> that will allow an MMTTY QSO to show up as RTTY and a PSK-31 QSO to show up as DIGITAL 
> in the MODE column.
