Subject: [WT-support] corrupt QTC file in WAE SSB contest
Message-ID: <20210916161813.B5F7D7DA00A8@dd7438.kasserver.com>

Dear supporters,
unfortunately (by accident) I tried to open the programme file ?Wintest? by doubleclicking on the file ?dl1daw.wt4.qtc?.
That did not work properly, of course. Wintest opened and I created my log files (ADIF and Cabrillo) and closed the Programme. However, Wintest saved the QTC-file as ?dl1daw.wt4.qtc.wt4?. As a result there are no QTC in the Cabrillo LOG-file!
I renamed the QTC- file to the correct name (I cancelled the extension .wt4) and opened the programme with the correct file ?dl1daw.wt4?. Wintest opened but closed immediately ? no chance to recover..?
Can you help me and make all my files workable?

I would highly appreciate any help!!!

Send me all the files you have in private.

I'll try to save the QTC the best I can, but I'm not very optimistic.

BTW, what Win-Test version are you using ?

Can you confirm that this is what you really did ?

Larry,

I am sure that I double clicked the file DL1DAW.wt4.qtc.
But now I have my doubts if the programme really opened. The longer I think the more probably it is that it did not open and I opened with the valid programme file. However the QTC-file was saved corrupt meanwhile and the Programme lost the qtc.
Is this sequence more probably?

Yes, this is more plausible. I'll try to reproduce the error and attempt 
a correction so it doesn't happen again.

In the meantime, I managed to save your QTC file and I think it is now 
complete. I'll sent you your fixed logfile + QTC privately.

You made me happy ?

I a trying to work out how to configure Win-test to interface with the IC-7610 for the CQ WW RTTY contest.
The Icom has of course its own RTTY decode engine.
Can anyone advise how to do this.

Please use MMTTY with Win-Test for decoding and FSK transmission.  Win-Test
does not support the Icom internal RTTY decoder.

One USB cable from the IC-7610 to the PC provides everything you need to
operate RTTY with Win-Test:

   1. USB Audio CODEC (sound card) for MMTTY received audio decoding
   2. A virtual serial port for rig control by Win-Test
   3. A second virtual serial port for MMTTY FSK and PTT keying via virtual
   DTR and RTS pins.

MMTTY may be downloaded from https://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmtty.php .  Please
install it.  Then in Win-Test, select *Options | RTTY Configuration* to set
the path to MMTTY.EXE.

Please review these presentations linked from my QRZ.COM page
<https://www.qrz.com/db/n6tv> and repeated below:

      <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEEUpsWUtAA&feature=youtu.be&t=8127>.

In particular see:

   - *Slide 57* (IC-7610 menu setup)
   - *Slides 67-71* (MMTTY setup)

Not shown:  the *SoundCard* tab in MMTTY.  Select the IC-7610 *USB Audio
CODEC* there.

Finally, select *Windows | RTTY (Radio 1)* from the Win-Test menu.

If you can't get it to work, please install TeamViewer (
https://TeamViewer.us), contact me off list, I will help you.

FYI, the same method works with the Elecraft K4 and other rigs with a USB
connector.  See this document
<https://ftp.elecraft.com/K4/Manuals%20Downloads/FSK%20RTTY%20Keying%20via%20USB%20or%20Serial%20Port%20with%20the%20Elecraft%20K4%20Transceiver.pdf>
