Well, it happened again! During the BARTG Sprint I encountered the strange
print decoding from MMTTY. MMTTY was set up to decode Standard RTTY, so the
options were set correctly. During the relatively short time on the air, I
observed my call being printed like this:
WL9IY W9ILY instead of W9ILY two times
Also I noted one serial number inversion:
217 followed by 127
The 127 printed correctly on 2Tone and Gritty.
Anybody have any ideas?
