[Dxbase] MMD/DX Base interface notes

Thu Nov 9 17:16:36 EST 2006

Hi all,
After trying MMD with MMTTY and DX Base, here are a couple of 
suggestions. IF you have frequency control interfaced to DX Base 
already, you must go into MMD, Options, DX Base and turn off sending 
frequency information to DX Base (i.e. check the do-not-send option). 
Otherwise it will send 14000.0 to DX Base (or whatever the default 
band is in MMTTY's setup) instead of the actual operating frequency.
In DX Base, if you don't use anything OTHER than RTTY as a digital 
mode (no PSK or anything else), make your default PSK mode RTTY. This 
will populate the MODE column with RTTY when you use MMTTY. 
Otherwise, so far, I've found no other combination of settings that 
will allow an MMTTY QSO to show up as RTTY and a PSK-31 QSO to show 
up as DIGITAL in the MODE column.
Since I don't operate any PSK or Olivia, etc, that's fine for me, but 
if anybody has a way to log PSK/etc as DIGITAL and MMTTY RTTY 
contacts as RTTY, I'd love to know.
Cheers,
Peter,
