Re: [Flexradio] Looking for suggestion about a rtty starting anomaly
Joe I hope I can help you. First off, I use MMTTY in DXLabs Suite module called WinWarbler. I can also use it in N1MM contest program. Plus it works quite well as a standalone MMTTY version. It's just a matter of telling each of these routes to use VAC as the sound card. For Instance In PWSDR VAC is set to: Driver: Windows WDM-KS Input: VAC 1 Output: VAC 2 In WinWarbler, Soundcard is set to VAC But Transmission goes to VAC input which is PWSDR VAC1 RTTY Reception goes to VAC output which is PWSDR VAC2 In MMTTY setup, TX is set to PTT&FSK com port Com8 This requires a com0com pair of com 22 equals com 8 With PWSDR Cat Control PTT being set to com 22 If just using MMTTY in a standalone system. I'm using MMTTY version 1.66G. Again Soundcard Reception is VAC2 and Soundcard Transmission is VAC1. And on the TX tab, PTT&FSK is the same, set to com8. Using Writelog, you need the MMTTY module, same setup. Using N1mm, again, same soundcard, same com port. Good luck, contact me offlist if you need help.

My logging software supports MMTTY but since it was a sound card program, I did not know it would work. When you have the time could you tell me about setting it up. I would love to use it and SSTV as well. Good luck in getting the answer you need.

Re: [Flexradio] Looking for suggestion about a rtty starting anomaly
Bill, Does this occur with the released versions of PowerSDR? Sure sounds like MMTTY is not clearing it's buffer correctly. How about if you run another program instead? Also are you using CAT for keying? Personally I feel like I have better control if I use secondary Com ports to control the TX/RX . 73, Dudley WA5QPZ FireBrick wrote: Ok guys, this is not a Flex problem but apparently somthing with my system.

Re: [Flexradio] Looking for suggestion about a rtty starting anomaly
First off, you are using an experimental version of PowerSDR, so this post is best suited for the FlexEdge reflector. Second, PowerSDR has no clue you are running RTTY, it is going to transmit what ever audio is passed to it via VAC and PTT is asserted (by CAT, I assume). The key is to find out if any of the RTTY message is truncated. If it isn't, then the delay is probably from the digi mode program. If it is, then there is a delay in PTT being asserted. I assume when you shut things down, you shut down the digi mode program too, because you should always start PowerSDR first enable digi mode which opens up the VAC channels and defines the cable properties (sampling rate and bit depth) before starting the digital mode program. It sounds like the macro buffer is not getting cleared. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of FireBrick Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 9:29 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Looking for suggestion about a rtty starting anomaly Ok guys, this is not a Flex problem but apparently somthing with my system.
