[digitalradio] Re: mftty
Hello to the Group!! I'm new here and have some goddies... I freshly released an update of MF Tele Type V 2.0.088 http://www.polar-electric.com/MFTT/ And yes it is possible to run MFTT under Vista Instructions: Launch program directly from it's Program folder location for example c:\Program Files\HamRadioSoftware\MFTeleType\MFteletype.exe" In the properties table one must set: XP Servicepack2 ( right click on the MFteletype.exe file to access the properties tab and select XP Service pack 2) this step need be done only one time. Execute as Administrator (each time one runs the program, it is necessary to right click the .exe file and select to run it as Administrator. ) Whish you lots of fun with MFTT! Any feedback is welcome. 73 55 de Norbert
[digitalradio] Re: mftty
Hello Siggi and Group, i'm very glad to see that you were able to use MFTTy with some success. So far i have learned that "tune finder" is needed. And a Hlepfile in a more readable format? I will add a graphical, FFT-Based, "tune finder" This might take a week or two. I will let you know when done. Please send me your additional suggestions, i will collect and considder them as my little available time allows... step by step. 73 55 de Norbert --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Siegfried Jackstien" wrote: > > dear norbert > thanks for the "second edition" of your software > i will try it out on my system and can send you my comments about > best 73´s de dg9bfc > sigi > - Original Message - > From: Norbert Pieper > To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Saturday, December 13, 2008 3:15 PM > Subject: [digitalradio] Re: mftty > > > Hello to the Group!! > > I'm new here and have some goddies... > > I freshly released an update of MF Tele Type V 2.0.088 > http://www.polar-electric.com/MFTT/ > > And yes it is possible to run MFTT under Vista > Instructions: > Launch program directly from it's Program folder location for > example > "c:\Program Files\HamRadioSoftware\MFTeleType\MFteletype.exe" > > In the properties table one must set: > > XP Servicepack2 ( right click on the MFteletype.exe file to access > the properties tab and select XP Service pack 2) this step need be > done only one time. > > Execute as Administrator (each time one runs the program, it is > necessary to right click the .exe file and select to run it as > Administrator. ) > > Whish you lots of fun with MFTT! > Any feedback is welcome. > > 73 > 55 > de > Norbert >

Hi Lew, that looks very much like the dx8vb.dll in your system directory is not registered in the registry. do this: - find the dx8vb.dll on your PC and remember the folder (path) name - click Start run - type in box regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\dx8vb.dll !!!that is an example!!! you have to enter your individual correct folder name BR Norbert --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Lew Cason" wrote: > > Thank you for the information > > I installed it on a Panasonic laptop with Win 98 and received a error > "RUN-TIME ERROR 429 ACTIVEX COMPOMENT CAN'T CREAT OBLECT" > > > Lew > N4HRA > - Original Message - > From: Toby Burnett > To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2008 9:39 AM > Subject: Re: [digitalradio] MFTTY Download > > > > > http://www.polar-electric.com/MFTT/ > > That is where I got it from. > > Good luck > > ---Original Message--- > > From: n4hra > Date: 14/12/2008 12:43:48 > To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [digitalradio] MFTTY Download > > Were do I fine the MFTTY site to download > > Lew >

Hi Voitech, many thanks for the hint! I guess i have to learn more about Throb and ThrobX Particular about the "single exception" an why it was implemented.

[digitalradio] MF Tele Type 3.0 Beta released
Hi, the MF Tele Type 3.0 Beta is released! It took me 3 weeks of hard work to implement essential features. Now it should be much easier to operate MFTT on any bands in SSB mode. Here the News: - Reduced CPU load at lower speeds - Bandwidth of Tone-Matrix reduced (no longer compatible with V2.0 or lower) - FFT Spectrum Display added - sending of Center-Frequency-Pilot-Tone added to ease initial tuning and detection of speed. Just select the Pilot tone in the FFT Display by "Click and Drag" (see screen shot of MFTTy home page) - Two AFC Functions added: "Pilot-Tone-AFC" and "Regular-Signal-AFC" - Tune-Meter Display added - Two Buttons added: "<" and ">" for manual fine tuning. - Option added for changing "Tx Center Frequency" Feel free to download from MFTTy home page http://www.polar-electric.com/MFTT/ Your improvement suggestions and feedback about bugs is welcome. 73 55 de Norbert

[digitalradio] MFTTY Tuning information
There is an update of MFTTY Help file available now. In the chapter "General" i have added a page named "Tuning into MFTTY Station" Feel free to download and study http://www.polar-electric.com/MFTT/MFTTHelp.chm Problems with opening the Help file? Then read this Instructions from Microsoft http://www.polar-electric.com/MFTT/HelpInstructions.html 73 55 de Norbert
[digitalradio] MFTTY Update 142 is out
Error in manual tuning of pilot tone corrected (measured rx frequency was not implemented)
[digitalradio] Re: MFTTY Tuning information
Hi Steinar, no problem just click options and enter new Tx Center Frequency ( in the upper right corner ) click apply. MFTT can handle any Tx Frequency from near zero up to near half of TX sample rate of soundcard.

[digitalradio] Re: MFTTY 3.0.143 is out
Hello Howard and all, In fact the V3.0143 !!DOES!!- send out pilot tone by "SEND" button or "Send By Enter Key" The thing is that the pilot is sent out ONLY if there was a reasonable pause between the transmissions. I did set the pause time to a value that is equivalent to the transmission time of 4 Words (20 characters) This was done to avoid an un-needed "flood" of bothering pilots. My question to the group is: In Pratice: Is that pause time and the effective number of pilots sufficent or is there higher or lower occurrence of pilots needed?

[digitalradio] Re: New MFTT 3.0.150_Beta
Hi Paul, try the new MFTT 3.0.150_Beta it now has a simple FEC in a way that single damaged characters are suppressed. They will no longer damage the sync of the whole word. Do not expect a "wonder", but it will help a bit. I had to double the pause between the words to be able to distinguish between of damaged part of character and end of word. 73's Norbert --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "pa0ocd" wrote: > > Hello Norbert, > > > Yes ok about tuning in, in the first Test I was doing only the > transmitting > > > Last night I heard a MFFT station on 80 meters and it was Yussi OH7TE. > > The signal strength was about s-6 with QSB, so a pretty good signal > and I had no problem tuning in and decoding the signal at Half speed. > We made contact and later on we changed to 1/4 speed and decoding > performed well with a few errors, but had the impression that some > kind of FEC would be helpfull. > > BTW: The auto AFC was doing a fine job! > > So we will do more testing on the air with MFFT soon. > > > 73 > > Paul, pa0ocd >
