Peter, YES!!! That is what I said by "directly" into DXbase ...
I make the RTTY QSO with Hamscope/MMTTY engine (just like Writelog and DX4WIN does) - and when I click-on the "Log It" button in Hamscope - voila!! The QSO's info is automatically and directly transfered into DXbase !!! It "is" that easy!! No entering of data "by hand" into DXbase for that RTTY QSO ... 73 Joe wa6axe Peter Dougherty wrote: > At 05:00 PM 08/18/2006, FireBrick wrote: > >> I've been using MMTTY from 'inside' DXBase for years. >> Go to Programs>Customize>Add and enter the directory/file name. > > > Make sure we're talking about the same thing here.

Those that use MMTTY have long known that Mako does not wish his programme to be incorporated with commercial (or other programs). But he has no qualms about allowing authors that wish to provide an interface to his fine program. On HamScope, HamScope is one of these programmes that does provide an interface to MMTTY. But as others have mentioned, it is has clumsy interface to DXbase. At times HamScope is not reliable and the 'Log It' button fails to work, in short it burbs. Also, the mode comes across from HS to DXB as DIGIT (or some odd thing) not RTTY. Sorry to say, this wheel has a few patches on it and needs to be replaced. Support on the HamScope reflector? There is simply not a large support group and it seems very few interface it to any logging programmes at all, so often questions go unanswered. Personally and I am sure others agree, I think DXbase would benefit with a built-in terminal programme and a programme that would be flexible enough to grow with ALL of the new digital modes and hardware. Right now DXbase does a great job on using the computer for rig control and CW interface, but why stop there, after all there are other modes to explore and I would love to have DXbase be the one to help me do it. I hasten to point out, this discussion has not stopped me from upgrading to 2007, in fact I very much look forward to see what Jack, Marlo and the gang have put 'under the hood' for this year. Perhaps at the end of this year when the annual Wish List comes out we can once again put a friendly bug in Jack's ear. 73 Eric.... [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Glockner The following is strictly from myself and my own findings and thoughts. The conception that DX4WIN installs MMTTY is not quite correct - as here are the exact words from their own website LINK : //quote// For the record MMTTY is not included in the DX4WIN install software because the AUTHOR of MMTTY JE3HHT doesn't allow this. See his WebPages "Commercial Programs are not allowed to include this file", But can be downloaded and used FREE by any HAMRADIO station. //unquote// As can be read/seen above, NO Commercial program can install the MMTTY "engine" as part of it's own install/program.. What is made available is the "interface" -- which, once the installation of the logging program is accomplished - then the user has to go to the MMTTY website itself and download and install the MMTTY "engine". The "interface" that CAN be used with DXbase is already available FREE!! Of course, as is the MMTTY "engine" s/w .. I have been using HamScope as the interface to be able to LOG my RTTY QSOs directly into DXbase - for quite a long time. I simply have a directory on my C: drive that is called Hamscope -- and in that directory is the Hamscope program and the MMTTY engine ... Then when I work an RTTY QSO, I can LOG that QSO's info "directly" into DXbase ... There really is no reason to re-invent the wheel. 73 Joe wa6axe
