>Anyone willing to host such sound files on their web site?
I can do a FTP host or put them on a web page on the site here.
I recently compared three KAM's to MMTTY. The test was simple find a RTTY
signal and add attenuation to the receiver until the signal was in the noise
floor. The result were that MMTTY won in all cases. The three KAM's are
headed to the next hamfest.
In the recent EA-WW RTTY test, I set up a test on the laptop and ran 5
instances of MMTTY running different settings. The intent was to compare
copy of the EU and JA signals under weak conditions. No obvious
conclusions were made and the band conditions were way down so this test
needs more analysis.
