[WriteLog] MMTTY 1.63 Problem Summary

[Don Hill AA5AU]

I received quite a few responses on this one.  Seemed a lot of people
had the same problem.  The post from Bill, W9OL, showed he had the
problem with MMTTY 1.63 stand alone.  Everyone that replied was 
running MMTTY 1.63.

I also received this directly from Hisama, 7L1IOU, who gave me permission
to post to the reflector:

So it appears to be a problem with MMTTY version 1.63.  Although I've
had reports that 1.63 copied much better than 1.62, I didn't see it.  Personally,
I thought it was about the same.  I can only notice by how it compares with
the DXP-38 which runs in a separate RTTY window on both computers.
MMTTY ran slightly better as usual, but on occasion, the DXP-38 copied
better (that's the reason we do dual receive, right?).

I plan on going back to 1.62, but I'm not sure what all that entails.  I don't
know if you can simply re-install 1.62.  I'll ask Hisami how he did it.

I will reply directly back to all that replied, but it may take some time.  Some
of you asked other questions that I would like to comment on.

Was a hell of a contest, eh?  Ever seen 80M that good for a RTTY contest???

73, Don AA5AU
