 I know very little about Flex radios but I have been gifted a 6500 which I 
have not picked up yet. Once I get it, I imagine I will be interfacing it with 
WriteLog at some point in time to run RTTY. I'm just unsure of when that time 
will be.
I'm guessing there must be someone out there running RTTY with WL on a Flex 
radio system, so I'm curious if you have gotten any direct replies. When you 
say "the Demo is not supported", what exactly do you mean?
I don't know if Flex ever got around to including FSK into SmartSDR or not. I 
found a post from the Administrator of the Flex email group back in March 2017  
that said "We have the FSK included as a feature in our enhancement database 
for a future release. However,it has not been scheduled for inclusion in a 
specific future release of SmartSDR.  I should mention that running ASFK 
digital modes with DAX can generate an incredibly clean signal that is 
indistinguishable from FSK generated RTTY. "
I can only assume you are trying to run AFSK with DAX? Which Flex model are you 
using and how are you interfacing to the radio?
I'm interesting in this discussion since I will soon be trying to broaden my 
knowledge of Flex radio systems once I obtain the 6500. Interfacing with 
WriteLog is on the list of "things to do".

 Hi

Is anyone using a Flex radio with WL and RTTY successfully?

I've downloaded the Demo version to see what WL can do and have been trying
to get it to work with RTTY but when sending RTTY, the tones sound jittery
and stuttered.

I have used the same set-up sending from other loggers or the
software directly and it sounds fine so seems an issue when using WL.

I know it says the Demo is not supported but need a way to know it works
before wanting to purchase.

Am using 12.61B for the Flex driver, everything else seems to work fine,
just the sending doesn't sound right. Have played with the audio levels but
this had no effect.

Would be good to hear if anyone has this working.

Thanks


Rich
