Actually the F5U103 works ONLY with MMTTY and the MMTTY plug-in
for WriteLog. Using WinRTTY (WriteLog's sound card RTTY setup), it
does NOT work. It probably works with other RTTY programs that use the
MMTTY engine.
Also, works only when setting the USB option in the MMTTY MISC tab to
C: Limiting Speed. Does not work on any other of the options.
A few hundred QSO's and no problems at all even running as high as 600 watts
on all of the bands. 80 kind of noisy tonight, but 40 sounding great. Too bad
not many participants.
A lot of people asking me for a repeat of my number. Guess they can't believe
I have only 300 Q's... hi Or are condx that bad???
73, Don AA5AU
