-
-
- 1. Installation
-
- The programm only consists out of the program file 'RTTY', the icon 'RTTY.info'
- and the konfig-file 'Funkeytext.rtty'. You have to copy all these files into
- one drawer.
-
- You can write your private texts on the function-keys. Every enter can have
- up to 255 letters, every enter ends with '#'. You can config 20 keys (use
- shift - functionkey for ten more).
-
- (Note for people using HD-Controller from Kronos:
- For correct work with RTTY in Multitask you must disable the IRQ of any
- partition-task. For this you must edit the devsetup file and then run set-
- autoboot. When you have problems, you can contact me.)
-
-
- 2. Connection
-
- You will need a 25 - pin D - Sub - plug for the RS - 232 port and
- a shirmed cable with three wires.
- Connection is as follows:
-
- Pin 7 = Ground
- Pin 6 = RXData
- Pin 20 = TXData
- Pin 4 = PTT
-
- Attention: there are +/- 12 Volt on this port!
-
- The programm needs a normal converter and afsk-generator, like that from
- DJ6HP.
-
-
- 3. How to start
-
- You can start with dubbleclick from workbench or from CLI with "RTTY".
-
- Two windows will be opened, the upper shows RXData, the lower you can type
- what you want to send.
- The program now receives with 45.45 baud in rtty - mode.
-
- When you write a text, you can send it with pressing the key 'Help'.
- During transmission you can write further, it will be transmitted so long,
- as you press again 'Help' or there is the sign '~' in the text. This sign
- lets rtty switch automatically to receive.
-
-
-
- 4. Pull-down-menues
-
- There are five menues:
-
- Menu File: load, save or print the text of the actually window,
- and quit program.
- Please note: you can save or print both: the text of the receive-window
- and the text of the transmitter-window. You have to activate the window
- first, then you start the action.
- Please note also, that you need a devs: directory with the printer-device,
- if you want to print something.
-
-
- Menu Mode: Mode - select (RTTY Baudot, ASCII oder Amtor)
-
- Menu Baud: Here you select your baudrate.
-
- All selected items are shown with the checkmark.
-
- Menu Transmitter: (QRM - Flag, Diddle, Reverse, Beginsend)
- The QRM-Flag makes your output better. The transmitter repeats the information
- for letters or figures after every space. So in QRM this is very useful to
- inform the receiver about the correct mode.
- If you select beginsend, you can send all the text in the transmitter-window
- again.
- With reverse, only the transmitter sends reverse. Receiving will be normal.
-
- Menu Extras:
- "Erase all" erases the transmit-window.If Standby is selected, you can erase
- the text in the receive-window, if this window is active.
- "Standby" switches off receiving. Then you can edit the text in the receiver-
- window. Selecting Standby again returns to receive-mode.
- "Help" shows short instruction.
-
-
- 5. Functionkeys and 'Short - Cuts'
-
- All functionkeys can be put up with your texts. See installation to config
- your texts, also look to the file funkeytext.rtty for more information.
-
- All important pull - down - menus are reachable with shortcuts.
- Press the right Amiga - key together with the key shown in the pull-down-menu.
-
-
- 6. Functions of the editor
-
- CTRL = Control - Key
-
- CTRL - B: Deletes the line, where the cursor is
- CTRL - O: toggles between insert or overwrite-mode.
- overwrite is selected when the program starts.
- CTRL - T: switches tab-mode on-off.
- tap-mode is off when you start.
- CTRL - X: cursor on the top of the text.
- CTRL - Y: cursor on the end.
-
-
- 7. Monitorwindow
-
- On the top there is a little window. All TXData are shown in scrolltext there.
- 'ยป' is a carriage-return with linefeed.
-
-
- 8. Switching letters <-> figures during receive
-
- With the tab-key you can switch between letters and figures during receive.
- So in QRM you can get more information.
-
