[DXLog.net - Support] RTTY

[Ken Beals]

You do have to put the call in the stack yourself. I didn’t know N1MM stacked calls by itself. 


If you only have one radio then you could do 2 decoders per VFO (I think) but never tried it. 


2Tone started life as an AFSK only program so it will do it. Never used it that way so I’m not sure what’s different in the setup between it and MMTTY. G3YYQ hangs out on the N1MM logger mailing list so if you put out a question there you are likely to get an answer directly from the source. He is a proponent of AFSK due to the poor FSK keying characteristics of many radios (bandwidth and clicks). I’ve got K3s here so it’s not a problem in FSK.


I tend to operate mostly from the keyboard and find DXLog is better suited to that mode. The SO2R configuration is also more flexible.

Hi Ken



OK I've yet to play with the software fully and documentation is limited




So does the software automatically put validated calls in the stack without operator intervention or do you have to tell the software to stack a call?




Yes I mean a history file, so if the call is validated by a history file or SCP it will go into the stack




2 decoders per radio is not enough in SO2V, I use 2 or 3 decoders per VFO, MMTTY and then 2 x 2 tone set differently




It would be nice if it was similar to N1MM where each VFO has a Data window but it's able to have a split bar added each time another decoder is added like in N1MM .. this I feel is a great tool in N1MM and would be good if added to DXlog.




Thoughts anyone?




Also I can get MMTTY to send rtty audio but i cannot seem to get anything from 2TONE, is 2tone FSK only ??

Hi Jim:




I use DXLog quite a bit for RTTY.




Call grabbing and stacking works fine, both automatically with Insert and using the mouse.




Not sure what you mean by own database checking. If you mean a history file, yes. DXLog has both a history file (which inserts data into the qso line) and a “extra data file” which shows the data in a separate window.




You can run 2 decoders per radio. I used N1MM for a while, but found 3 windows was not that useful. I keep the 2Tone control windows positioned so I can change decoders as band conditions change. Even though the RTTY config page in DXLog shows one 2Tone and one MMTTY, you can actually run two separate copies of 2Tone by just putting the path to 2Tone in the MMTTY config. 2Tone was designed to be a plug in replacement for MMTTY and it works fine.




There is a macro which grabs calls from a stacking window which allows the NOW exchange. Calls can be put into the stacking window with mouse clicks.

Hi

Just playing with RTTY and I dont have a radio connected yet.

Does DXLog support auto call grabbing and stacking, checked against SCP
database

Also is there an option to have SCP and Own database checking, something
thats implemented in N1MM where you can use a previous contest callsign
database for callsign validation?

Be nice if it could stack callsigns received an have a NOW button

Also it would be nice to have upto 4 decoders per channel (so 2 tone could
be set up in different folders and using different settings could decode
into the main screen) Again from N1MM but works brilliant
