[Dx4win] RTTY with DX4WIN
I wonder if fellow DX4WIN users would be kind enough to share how they are using RTTY with the Yaesu FT-2000 and DX4WIN. I have a Rig blaster pro to use as an interconnection from the PC to the rig. Wonder if anyone has any hints or recommendations as to what program to use, etc. Previously I worked RTTY by just using the built in programmed messaging feature of the IC-756PROIII that I have just traded in for a FT-2000 due to ESD problems.

For software, a number of us use MMTTY. I can't give you any hardware tips, but here is some configuration information for DX4WIN: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/mmtty.htm The most important thing is to get MMTTY working stand-alone BEFORE you try to integrate it into DX4WIN. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Dx4win] WMR RigTalk slow response time
I recently purchased a West Mountain Radio RigTalk USB to C-IV interface. This unit was bought to replace (or backup) my Radio Shack scanner interface which has been controlling my Icom IC756ProIII with good (fast response) for several years, via DX4WIN. After installing the RigTalk (on a new com port) per the WMR directions, the unit will control the radio but with VERY slow response. The WMR driver shows up in Device Manager/Ports. It takes 3 to 4 seconds for the Icom to respond to a frequency change using the tuning dial or a band change. I have turned the Band Map on and off with no improvement. Conversely, the Radio Shack interface shows almost instantaneous response when installed. A call to WMR yielded two suggestions: Try assigning yet another, different comport. Try a different logging program 8(... Neither suggestion eliminated the RigTalk delay problem. Conditions: DX4WIN 8.04 IC756ProIII Icom PW-1 amplifier (daisy chained with IC ProIII C-IV) Both radio and comport set to 9600 baud CW keying done by LPT port Pentium 1.3 GHz computer USB 2.0 ports Windows XP home with SP 3 USB Printer USB Mouse Any experience/suggestions would be greatly appreciated here or direct to w...@charter.net. Thanks and good DX!
