In MMTTY, there is both a "Character wait" and "Diddle wait" which make your
transmission go out slower. In the TX tab of MMTTY
Setup, there is a check box for "Disable Wait". If it is not checked, then
MMTTY uses the values as set in the two slider bars for
character wait and diddle wait. Testing in FSK, revealed that indeed both of
these slider settings change the "speed" at which the
"characters" or "diddles" are sent. With both sliders all the way to the left,
it appears is the same as checking the "Disable
Wait" check box. As you move either slider to the right, the "speed" appears
slower even though it's still decoded at 45.45 baud.
Here's what the MMTTY help file says:
"Transmit Wait Adjustment
There is a transmit wait, or delay, control, that appears by default as "Both
Wait" at the far right of the transmit menu. The
slider to the right controls the amount of time (wait) between transmission of
characters. Select one of four values by clicking the
label.
Disable wait - Slider position does not matter, there is no wait.
Char. wait - Delay character transmission.
Diddle wait - Delay diddle character transmission.
Both wait - Delay both character and diddle transmission. "
I don't see a "Both wait" option in version 1.68 so maybe that was left over
from a previous version. Elsewhere in the help file it
says something about using "wait" if there is a problem on a slower computer.
I doubt anyone would have a problem these days and
everyone should disable wait.

Nothing as far as data transmission/reception is concerned. With ansynchronous
communications. you need a clock at each end running
at (in the case of 45.5 baud, close to) the same frequency. The leading edge
of the start bit tells the receiver to start clocking
the data bits into individual registers. The meaningful exchange is over once
the agreed upon data and parity bits have been sent.
The stop bit(s) are a vestige of the electro-mechanical days. They provided a
time slot to imprint the character.
If RTTY is "slow", it can only be due to more stop bits being sent in a
character than necessary, or very inefficient shifting.
It's not due to the sender's bit clock being slow - that would just cause the
transmission to be indecipherable.

Hi Don,
What is the effect of the sound card clock adjustment? Is it related to speed
issues?See Calibrate the Sound Card in the Help file
and the Misc tab in MMTTY setup. I've never understood what it is and what the
adjustment does.
