I tried the DM780 for RTTY receive on my K2, and there were so many choices and settings that I was flummoxed. A friend told me to try MMTTY and it worked just fine. I like DM780, and would like to use it more, anyone know what has to be done to get it to work with RTTY? Which of the settings I need to choose? -
