Hello Rob,
I have the address for COMP RTTY at home, I'll email the address this evening.
It is a DOS program and I am trying to drop all the DOS software from my
system. I have not tested it for Y2K problems.
To determine the firmware revision level:
1) turn unit on
2) press shif+-mode
3) press shift+mode
The display should show "Select 'install'
4) Turn left knob to 'about'
5) press left knob until display shows
S/N XXXXX u 4.1
The current revision is 4.1

Hi John,
Thanks for the info. I have the most current version of the firmware!
If it is not too much trouble, please send me the address (and EMAIL address
if there is one) on COMP-RTTY.
It would appear that your DSP-RTTY program is the only WINDOWS based RTTY
program for modems that only provide MARK/SPACE signals. (e.g. DSP-599zx,
HAL ST-6 etc)
Even though I appreciate that the market today for such a program is small,
I do hope that one day you can offer DSP-RTTY at a lower price.
73's
