[RTTY] MMTTY and ASCII

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Bill,

Check right under the Bit Length and Stop Length selections on the Decode 
tab. There is only Baudot as a code set. The S Bell provides normal decoding 
for US "figures" whereas J Bell is supposed to support International 
"figures". I would assume that means the J Bell character set would provide 
the British Pound symbol instead of the US dollar sign. I don't see any way 
to put MMTTY into true ASCII mode to support upper/lower case characters.
