John, a more accurate answer to your question might be, "No," because the RTTY window only sends and receives character data. It was supposed to be used with a hardware TNC, such as a KAM, which does the encoding and decoding work. I use the window that way.
The alternative method is to use a software package, such as MMTTY or MixW, to do the sound-to-digital and vice-versa conversions. Then the RTTY window is not used, since those packages have their own windows. The newest version of DX4WIN has integrated support for MMTTY, I am told. Larry, I would be interested in your jumper settings and connections for your setup --please post them. 73, John, K2CIB RigBlasterPro, TS-870, KAM+, Rotor control, etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 6 Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2005 17:24:45 -0400 From: "Larry Gauthier (K8UT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Rigblaster To: "John Kjos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=response John, I use the RIGblaster Plus with an Icom 756 ProIII, DX4Win 7.01, MMTY in FSK, and a WaveNode wattmeter (LPT port interface). I operate phone, CW, RTTY, and PSK modes, and it works well _AFTER_ spending a lot of time messing around with the internal jumpers. I can switch between modes instantly without any reconfiguration or switch flipping -- accomplished only by using 2 serial and two parallel ports. - first serial port for rig control - second serial port for MMTTY transmit control - first parallel LPT port for rotor control - second parallel port for CW keying and Wavenode wattmeter interface If you decide to go with a RIGblaster Plus, let me know -- I'd be happy to share the document I wrote that describes the correct settings in the RB Plus. (( I do not know if those would translate into equal success with a "straight" RIGblaster)) -larry K8UT ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Kjos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "DX4WIN" <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 15:38 Subject: [Dx4win] Rigblaster > Hi again, Is anyone using a Rigblaster with DX4WIN, being able use the > RTTY window in DX4WIN?
