[RTTY] Help with MMTTY

[David G3YYD]

I would go further than Joe and say set the BPF to 512 taps. Modern
processors are so powerful no need to worry about CPU load.

Turn on NET.

*WARNING* if you transmit AFSK with a tone below 1500 Hz you stand a very
good chance of also transmitting the second harmonic of the tone and any
tone below 1000 Hz has a very good chance of both second and
*third* harmonic unless your tones are absolutely clean and you take extreme
care to make sure that you do not overdrive the mic input of your
transceiver.

At the very least, enable the TxBPF (Option | Setup MMTTY |TX tab) set it to
256 taps and 300 Hz to make sure you are not generating any harmonics or
"clicks" in the sound card and do not set the Windows sound output any
higher than necessary to generate 90 W (with a 100W
transmitter) at maximum mic gain.
