FSK RTTY

 

Using IC-7300, DXLab and windows 10.

I am having a problem sending RTTY. When I click on start in Winwarbler I get a solid tone.
I also have a stand alone version of MMTTY which works perfectly.?
I am at a loss on how to correct this problem so any fixes I can try will be appreciated.

+ That means you don't have WinWarbler properly configured for RTTY FSK. Follow the instructions here:

FSK RTTY in WinWarbler requires a keying circuit to connect a COM port to the FSK keying input on your rig.

?

I built up an RS232/TTL converter that I have attached to COM2 and it is connected from a USB port on my PC to the FSK keying input on the back of my rig, which is an Elecraft K3.

?

In WinWarbler >> Config >> RTTY >> FSK I have specified COM2 as FSK Control.

?

If you have true FSK RTTY running on MMTTY, then the same COM port you¡¯ve specified for FSK keying in MMTTY should be specified in WinWarbler.

That¡¯s not the same on a 7300. You don¡¯t need an external circuit. I just set my 7300 up on MMTTY last week. Just needed the USB port and the EXTFSK64 DLL. Plus the right settings in the rig.

That is only the case if you use an eternal CI-V interface
for CAT *or* use a third arty "port splitter" to split the
RTS/DTR (PTT/FSK) and TxD/RxD lines (CI-V) to separate port
numbers.

Windows will not allow two programs (e.g., WinWarbler/ExtFSK
and Commander) to access the same serial port at the same
time.

Note: If you use FSK on the 7300, you can not use CW as the
7300 allows only two of the three (PTT, CW, FSK) signals.

+ When using in IC-7300, WinWarbler and Commander can be configured to generate CW from text, with CW timing controlled by the transceiver; quality-wise, this is far superior to having WinWarbler wiggle DTR or RTS on the 7300's virtual COM port to generate CW, as the latter relies on Windows for timing; for example, moving your mouse can produce perceptible changes to CW timing.

+ MMTTY can do that because it's a single application that is performing both transceiver control and RTTY FSK generation.

+ Unlike the IC-7100, IC-7610, IC-7851, IC-9100 - which create two virtual COM ports -- the IC-7300 creates only one virtual COM port. If Commander is using this virtual COM port for transceiver control, WinWarbler cannot use it for RTTY FSK generation, thereby requiring an external FSK circuit like those described in the "FSK Connection" section of

unless you use something like VPSE and split the port, which I do....

+ Agreed. This a perfectly reliable use of a port splitter.
