Hi there all

After exhaustive enquiries regarding the 216 error code which I got when =
attempting to start rtty by wf1b v 5.02, an email in the rtty contesting =
forum from Vern KJ7TH to Jim MM0BQI  caught my eye. I played with the =
suggestion, and, IT WORKED! So anyone else out there with the problem =
might like to give this a go!

  1.. Start Rtty5.02 (if you get error code 200 try using a slowdown =
program for your computer (Turbo, Moslo, Bremse some are freeware, some =
not) Enter your details but leave the TNC box as "None"
  2.. Open My Computer, Control panel and select "System", "Unit =
manager" "Comports" and mark the comport that you are using for the =
program (for example Com1) Select "Properties/General" and check the box =
marked "Inactivate"
  3.. Return to the Rtty setup and change the TNC box to "pk 232"(or the =
TNC you are using)
  4.. Press control/enter and it should initialise the program without =
an error code.
  5.. Return to the Comport properties box and reactivate the port, =
making sure that the other box marked "exists in all hardware profiles" =
is also checked.
  6.. (Actions 4 and 5 may need to be reversed if this doesn't work the =
first time)
  7.. Then to the contest. Yippee
