[RTTY] RTTY Software

[joseph duerbusch]

I disagree with Bill on the RITTY software just for the reasons he have that it was the 'best'.
My vote is for MMTTY which runs in Windows and can/is being used as plug-in on logging software like Writelog.

It is just not worth the hassle for those few times when RITTY will out perform MMTTY (and yes it will).

Back a few years ago, WF1B and RITTY was KING.  But times move on and I would not put my $$ on UNSUPPORTED DOS software.

But everyone has an opinion.

RiTTY by K6STI gets my vote.  I have run Brian's program side by
side with many others including TNCs, and it was always the best
at digging weak signals out of the noise.  

It does have a few drawbacks, though:

1.  $$$.  Ain't free.  Ain't even cheap.
2.  Requires a genuine Creative Labs Soundblaster 16 ISA sound
card.  PCI will not do, nor will other makes or brands.  You
usually can find them on ebay for $10-15 or so.
3.  Runs under DOS, either standalone DOS or full-screen mode
under Windows.  I have run it under Win95, 98 and XP and it runs
perfectly.  It will not run in a Windows "DOS box".  Full screen
mode only.

But if you're willing to go to that trouble, you will have the
best RTTY soundcard program in existence.
