Hi

I hope you find it works as well as I have!  It all seemed pretty easy to get going, particularly as I was worried about how the FSK would work out but with the EXTFSK module that just seemed easy.   I got mmtty going standalone first and then did the N1MM bits.   The only hassle I had was with the cat interface and that was because N1MM behaved so badly when it was wrong - just locked up and needed clearing from the task manager.   I ultimately resorted to downloading a terminal interface to talk direct through the port to prove _it_ was working fine.   In the end turning off hardware handshake did the trick.

Ahhh, one of the few decent signals on 2M last night (well, apart from UA3MW, UR5LX etc etc :-), you were consistently louder than almost everyone else.  m1mhz (as usual) and m0ghz also spring to mind.   I can never understand why I see so many claimed scores from IO83 who I never hear?

Cheers
Andy
