[Dxbase] RTTY

[N2TK]

Hi Pete,
Tnx for the input.

I first tried Hamscope. Integrated fine with DXbase, but I would have had to
add a keying line to make it work. Maybe one of these boxes (Navigator,
SignaLink, microHam) will provide the keying for Hamscope/K3/DXbase?

I am now trying DM780. It works fine and keys my K3 with just a line-in and
a line-out cable to my audio card in the PC. But it doesn't integrate with
DXbase.  

So I am still looking. 

MMTTY with MMD is for Dxkeeper only. Is that a correct statement or will it
work (integrate) with DXbase?

73,
N2TK, Tony

Use MMTTY and the bridge program called MMD. That combination works 
nicely here.

I would love to hear from anybody who has a Navigator; it Looks 
really nice. The MicroHam Microkeyer (I have the original version) is 
great and interfaces very nicely but experience from a number of hams 
tells me that the units are susceptible to high levels of RFI in the 
shack, and they behave very erratically under those conditions. Mine 
goes nuts on 80m CW (dahs become dits and dits become semi-dits).
