Re: K3s second VFO RTTY
Peter Dougherty
So it looked like it was just a simple matter of enable two-channel receive in the appropriate sound card setting. Windows 10 seems to love resetting sound settings at major updates, and that's what fixed it (well, kinda-sorta fixed it).But this brings up two questions. One, how will setting this to 2-ch affect JT-modes operation (if at all), and second, levels seem to be a bit of an issue for the second VFO now; I'm only hearing the strongest signals. I'm a bit hesitant to mess with them, again, fearing screwing up WSJT.

+ Are you using one set of macros for both PSK31 and RTTY, or do you have separate PSK31 and RTTY macros? If the latter, check to see which <log...> command is employed for logging RTTY QSOs. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Dave, This was done yesterday, when I first reported the apparent logging problem. The application was winwarbler, same aprox time as the psk31 contacts. I was setting up operation with my new Elecraft K4D, so tried many modes yesterday. Gordon - N1MGO On 10/12/2021 10:02 AM, Dave AA6YQ

After reading the help on the commands <log_qso> and <log_eqsl_lotw_qso> I have a question. I used <log_qso> for both psk31 and RTTY, rtty contacts logged and uploaded to LOTW and eQSL, but psk31 did not. Why did the RTTY contacts upload? It appears per the description of the commands that RTTY should NOT have uploaded, same as I see with psk31. Should I replace the <log_qso> in both RTTY and psk31 macros, or just the psk31 macros, with the <log_eqsl_lotw_qso> command? Thanks, Gordon - N1MGO

Re: DXK/DXV - user specified digital mode family
Dave AA6YQ
+ AA6YQ comments below
DXKeeper and DXView allow to set/view a user-specified digital mode family to support personal objectives beyond DIGITAL progress for DXCC. While the list, from which this can be chosen, includes some pretty exotic modes it does not include RTTY. Many of us have chased RTTY DXCC for decades before ARRL changed it to DIGITAL thus down-grading the more difficult RTTY DXCC to a personal objective. Old RTTY-ers like myself still aim at DXCC HR level in RTTY only and on multiple bands in addition to the ease of attaining those DIGITAL goals by using FT8. Having RTTY worked status at a glance in DXV is quite different from generating a progress report. So I wonder if you could add RTTY to the list of user-specified digital modes. The user-base of RTTY is probably still bigger than that of OLIVIA and THROB. + I didn’t include RTTY in the initial implementation of "user-specified digital mode" because it's quite a bit more complicated to implement, and would have considerably delayed that initial implementation. It's still "on the list" - but not imminent. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Re: WinWarbler behavior on FSK

Yes, that's correct. WinWarbler runs as a standalone with the MMTTY settings set through the application. I'll send you the screen shot in the morning.+ When you start MMTTY.exe in your WinWarbler folder, WinWarbler does not run; only MMTTY is running. I want to compare the EXTFSK settings you're using when running MMTTY standalone with the EXTFSK settings you're using when you're running WinWarbler. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

I do, and that configuration carries over to WinWarbler. I've tried every suggested setting and multiple combinations and permutations. I still get garbage as output. Honestly, I have no idea where to go from here. Most of what's been suggested I had already tried without success but tried again just in case I had missed something, and apparently I hadn't. At this point, I need to drop back and think about this some more. Thanks for trying to help, but nothing new is being suggested and nothing so far has worked. Incidentally, I've worked through every one of the relevant settings here with someone who's up and running with precisely the setup I have, and he's got no problems with it. So, something unusual is accounting for this and I just need to find it. + Try RTTY FSK using the instance of MMTTY in your WinWarbler folder standalone. What happens? 73, Dave, AA6YQ

I can't find any way to receive on VFO-B to listen to the pileup.

If you successfully accomplish this, please send me your notes, and I'll incorporate them into a similar article for your transceiver model. Thanks! 73,

Look at the information on using the SCU-17 <http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/YaesuSCU-17> The FTdx101 is another of those transceivers with the SCU-17 functionality built in like FTd3000, FT-991 (and others). In the case of the FTdx101 there does not appear to be a "PC Keying" or "Data In" selection in the menu structure. However, you will want to set all of the "RPTT SELECT" (MODE PSK/DATA, MODE RTTY, MODE SSB, MODE AM, MODE FM) to RTS. You will need to experiment with EXTFSK to see if TxD or DTR will provide the FSK signal (there is no menu setting in the FTdx101) and set EXTFSK to use RTS for PTT. I can not tell if the FTdx101 can use USB for FSK as there is no information on FSK via USB in the operating Manual and I have no access to an FTdx101 for testing. 73, ... Joe, W4TV

The enhanced port from that driver is on COM 12, also via the USB port, and unless I misunderstand how things are working, data should be transferred via that port but attempts to get Commander to link the radio via the USB port on COM 12 and with the RS-232 port disconnected are met by a port error message.
