For what its worth, some several months ago, I ran Zakanaka (which uses the
mmtty engine) and HyperTerminal (to control my PK-232) at the same time.
With both the 232 and the soundcard receiving the one rtty signal, the 232
was more accurate every time... and this was in it's 'out of the box'
configuration. Since then, I have spent considerable time making
modifications to the 232 so that it is now 'tuned' for 170hz shift and it
now receives rtty better than ever.. So you can see why at this time, I
would much prefer to stick with the pk232.
