Ken, Glad you are adjusting to the move and major chage in life ,
I am not sure if many members/users of MMTTY kow how MMTTY and Ken's involvement evolved. MMTTY was a "obscure" unknown entity that a few folks discovered and moved in to prominence via their efforts. The digitalradio group discovered the software in Japanese, , poked around with it and members shared how to make it work, We then found Mako,and discovered he had no ability to write an English help file. I then wrote one and went on vacation and upon my return Mako had actually added my help file to MMTTY (I was honored). Ten Ken, Scott, Jan,, myself and others got together and made a more professional help file. Ken strarted a web page to publish updates to the program . It was all a voluntary effort to assist Obo and Mako with their considerable efforts to produce the world's best (RTTY software. Here is some of the history as it happened, note Ken arrived o the scene August 15 2000. August 11 , 2000 Hello! Is there anybody who using/used or testing/tested MMTTY software by JE3HHT? I just downloaded V1.5.1. It's realy "RTTY-factory", it's freeware, but regretfully having .doc-file on Japanese language. I wondering, wether already exists english version of MMTTY manual and convertor from MMTTY-logbook file format to any popular file format (.dbf, .adi,... etc)? 73!

THANKS RON WA5FBF -------------------------------------------------- August 14, 2005 Hi Andy This is JE3HHT Mako in OSAKA Nice to meet you, and Thank you for touch with me. > Hello. > Downloaded MMTTY. Is English Help Available Anywhere Please. I am sorry Andy, now English Help is not available. I am not good at in English. Now I am fixing this program almost everyday and upload it to my Homepage so often. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ August 12, 2000 THANKS JIM, W4HAS, FOR THE URL. MMTTY DOES LOOK IMPRESSIVE. I QUICKLY ASSUME THERE'S NO ENGLISH VERSION HELP FILES? 73s AND THANKS RON WA5FBF --------------------------------------------------------------------- August 12, 2000 I have version 1.53 running here. Have stumbled upon Ctrl-O to open a Digital Scope window, but have not gotten beyond that... any hints on how to use the Digital Scope? What is the purpose of the Green bar at the top that can be varied in width ? How is an input applied to this scope??? Can anyone provide some insight as to the Setup MMTTY parameters: particularly, the tabs for Demodulator and AFC/PLL ??? At various points, when I click on the "f" button, we get a graphical display, but I have not as yet reached any conclusion as to what the each graph represents/means during operation. I must look further into the recording features available under the File Menu. Perhaps we could start a thread on each tab option, and come up with some useful hints/suggested operational settings. It appears to be a super program and well thought out. A well kept secret, also. My thanks to JE3HHT, OM Mako, for supplying a soundcard RTTY program to the global Ham radio community. 73s, es Have Fun, de ~Vince~ WA2RSX ----------------------------------------------------------------- August 13, 2000 Just gave it a test drive, what a nice package. Highly recommended! Andy KB2EOQ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- wow! really neat interface, even though haven't figured it all out yet. how to change baud rate, trying to copy CFH @ 425 shift and 75/100 baud. no problem with the shift but how to do the baud rate? David Michael Gaytko ----------------------------------------------------------------- August 14, 2000 I have written a very preliminary draft of an English Help file. It is only about 10% done and simply covers setting up MMTTY for simply RTTY operation, transmitting, receiving, macros programming, and changing the waterfall. I am assuming that others would like to add to the project, so feel free to email me your contributions and I'll compile them. Be sure to use the MMTTY reflector to announce what aspect of MMTTY you are writing about, that way you will avoid duplicating someone else's effort. The initial draft of the help file is in Microsoft Word (RTF) Rich Text format. I'll make an HTML version later tonight after work. I have uploaded the file to the reflector's files section at http://www.egroups.com/files/MMTTY/, please download it and offer suggestions. Andy KB2EOQ ------------------------------------------------------------------- August 15, 2000 Hi Andy.. Your help file is looking good! You can also add that the color of the XY Scope trace can also be changed. Just below where you show changing the waterfall colors.. The XY scope makes tuning a real snap, even easier than looking at the waterfall or spectrum displays. Just tune for a cross with equal legs : + PS.. I downloaded the file in ZIP format, thanks AD7U. That will be a lot better for those with a slower connection. J 73 . . Ken - VE5KC ------------------------------------------- August 16, 2000 Hi guys... I've been busy playing today and have set up an English Web Site for MMTTY. http://www.geocities.com/mmtty_rtty/ (if your typing this out, there is a _ [underscore] between mmtty and rtty) I'm sure that there are things that can be changes in time and I'm open to your input. I will do my best to keep it current subject to available time. I hope this effort meets with the MMTTY group's approval.. Especially Mako, I hope this is OK with you. Thanks to Andy, Mako and the group for assisting in the MMTTY project. 73 . . Ken - VE5KC ____________________________________ August 30, 2000 I should probably let you know who is here... So far we have [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jan K2XA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oba - JA7UDE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phil Cooper GU3?

Thank you Andy for taking on the task of heading things, this will help to get organized and set the direction to go. I also agree with Obo on waiting for Mako's input on what he would like to see. I would be more happy to handle putting new files up on the English website, after they are approved by the group. Anything else the group would like on that site, let me know as I can always use input in making it work and be an asset for all the users. There is no problems with sending me files. I have a high speed connection and check the mail many times during the day, Ken. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 16 2001 Hi guys.. The MM Hamsoft is celebrating it's first birthday.. It's hard to believer that a whole year has passed since the beginning of the original MMTTY English Website August 16, 2000.

I have tried to contact Yahoo but no response to date. I understand the site was free but we still need a higher level of service. In light of this I have decided to move to the QSL Net server. Thanks to Al - K3TKJ or QSL NET for the quick response to my S.O.S. The new URL is http://www.qsl.net/mmhamsoft/ If you have a link to MM Hamsoft on your web pages, please change to the new address. I'm working on the necessary changes to get the website contents moved over to the new server. If all goes well I hope to have it completed later today. 73 . . .
