[Ham-Mac] CQ MMTTY/Mac Users

[Dick Kriss]

I would like to get in touch with a Mac user that
has successfully managed to run the Windows
based MMTTY RTTY program on an Intel Mac
using a SignaLink USB interface.

I have managed to get MMTTY working on this
2.4 GHz iMac using OSX 10.5.4 under Parallels
with XP Pro SP3 via the SignaLink USB sound
card interface; however, the received audio and
decoding is poor when compared to using
cocoaModem 2.0 operating native under Mac OSX.

The signals to the MMTTY application seem down
or attenuated and I am not sure if this is due to
some Windows or MMTTY setting, the SignaLink
USB Audio Codec sound card, the Parallels
software, Windows XP Pro SP 3 or the Mac OSX.

I feel sure MMTTY has a good decoder in its native
Windows environment but it is pretty poor and not
really contest usable when used under emulation
software on this Intel iMac.

My only reason for messing with MMTTY is I am
concerned W7AY may disable the cocoaModem
contest menu since it something he does not use
and does not have time to maintain.  He has offered
the code to others for experimentation but I do not
recall anyone with the required skills expressing
interest in maintaining the cocoaModem contest
interface.

Please contact me if you have suggestions for
pumping up the received audio to MMTTY.  I may
have some Windows setting wrong.
