Hello all
I found the MMTTY program, but at http://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmtty.php. Looks 
very impressive. The first problem that caught my eye, was the shift. As far 
as I can read the PDF file containg the Hasler diagrams, the mark and space 
frequencies are 1180/1850 or eventually 780/1650, which gives a shift of 670 
resp 870 Hz. The last mentioned corresponds more-or-less to 1700 Hz with a 
850 Hz shift.
I've see that there is a user group for this program, so further enquiries 
will go there.
Thanks for your help. Much appreciated

/Nico, OZ1BMC
