Hi Andy, Is there any likelihood of future MixW development, for example adding Patrick's RSID or CALL-ID features? I get asked this myself and can't answer as I'm not on any MixW mailing lists. Simon Brown, HB9DRV www.ham-radio-deluxe.com - Original Message - From: Andrew O'Brien

I have the source code to MMTTY, have updated MMTTY to enable operation under Vista (version 1.66G), and intend to improve its RTTY decoding capability. MMTTY can transmit via AFSK or FSK; as far as I know, MMVARI is limited to AFSK. 73, Dave, AA6YQ From:

I think MARS uses MixW mostly for MT63. Here in South Carolina, in Navy MARS, we are standardizing on using fldigi for MT63, and before that some people used MixW and some used Nino's program. It all boils down to whicher user interface is easier to use, or to train people to use. If everyone

It is all about the visual simplicity of its interface . . . elegant in its minimalism. And I say that truly as a complement. Although I like HRD and MultiPSK both for other reasons, MixW is easier to use. More pleasing to the eyes especially versus MultiPSK. Rick - KH2DF Sent from my iPhone

I think that as a digital mode application, MixW is good , but it has lagged seriously behind other applications in the past 2-3 years. The DX cluster operations are no-where near as good as Winwarbler affords via the Spotcollector interface, or the opportunities DM780 has provides via HRD's
