To use AXETTY 1.20: (1) Anywhere on your C: drive, create a "New Directory" entitled:    AXETTY -- I created my new directory, in my DXbase "Main" Directory. NOTE!! :: Do NOT use your existing MMTTY directory that you have the full-version of MMTTY in -- or, ANY other directory that you have the full-version of MMTTY in ... !!! Make sure you create a NEW Directory!!! To have this version work properly - this is very important!!!! (2) Go to the MMTTY website - and - (a) Put your mouse over the MMTTY link on the left side of the webpage - then (b) Click-on the MMTTY-Home link in the Menu that is now shown. (c) To HELP you with any questions about the basic MMTTY program itself, scrolldown to the words under the TITLE of MMTTY Help and click-on the LINK entitled: "MMTTY PDF Help File download zip file - 18mb". Save the ZIP file into the directory that "you created" in (1) above. (3) Scrollupwards to the words entitled:    MMTTY Engine Ver. 1.68a Click-on the LINK that says "Download from the Programmers Download Page". Now, go to the words that say "MMTTY Engine - MMTTY Engine V1.68a (MMTTY_Engine166g.zip 720KB)" and, Click-on the actual LINK by clicking-on the words "MMTTY Engine V1.68a". (4) Save the ZIP file into the directory that "you created" in (1) above. (5) Extract ALL of the files from the ZIP files - into the directory that "you created" in (1) above. (6) Go to the bottom of this webpage and download the AXETTY120.zip file - save this ZIP file into the same directory as in (5) above. (7) Extract the one file from the AXETTY120.zip file - and, save it into the same directory as in (5) above. (8) The new directory that you created should have the following files in it: MMTTY PDF Help v166G.zip MMTTY Help v166G.pdf MMTTY_Engine168a.zip MMTTY.EXE RemMFC.exe engine.txt License.txt Terms.txt Source.zip AXETTY120.zip AXETTY.exe (9) You can DELETE the MMTTY PDF Help v166G.zip, MMTTY_Engine168a.zip, Source.zip, and AXETTY120.zip files from your new directory - as you will not need them after this. And, you can also DELETE the RemMFC.exe and engine.txt individual files - as they are not used for AXETTY. (10) Note:    Make sure that you download the Version 1.68a of the Engine - as this "is" the most current version - and is the version that this AXETTY is built-on. (11) Run/Open the AXETTY.exe file. (12) Immediately pull the AXETTY/MMTTY Engine screen out of your way; and, go to Main Menu / Settings / General Setup... (13) Fill-in your CALLSIGN - and, make a selection for each of the five OPTIONS. Click "OK" (14) Go back to Main Menu / Settings / MMTTY Setup... Go to each of the 7 TABS, and make your selections for each of the OPTIONS. Click "OK" (15) Go to MMTTY engine's Main Menu / View(V) / -- and, select the XY Scope. (16) OPEN your DXbase program. The AXETTY program logs directly into your DXbase program - WITHOUT the need of the MMD 6.0 program! (17) NOTE:    This AXETTY program can be run as an AFSK "Soundcard" program - or, with the use of the EXTFSK (mmtty website) - you can setup to run FSK keying on XMIT. (18) Now - is FUN time .. just simply play around with the AXETTY program!! You CAN resize the windows -- separate the Engine's panel display from the rcve/xmit window and, literally place the windows wherever you want them on the monitor. You CAN select (Main Menu / MMTTY View - or the BUTTONS) whether you want to see the FULL engine panel or just the Display only as totally separate windows. CAUTION: the Full Panel and the Display only ARE "always on top"!! NOTE! : Once you place either the Full Panel or just the Display Panel onto the AXETTY main program's window, you can use the button titled "Q-Dock" (Quasi-Dock) to place the Panel "somewhat" into the AXETTY window. Remember that the AXETTY and MMTTY Engine are in fact two separate programs. Once you MOVE the AXETTY program's window, the Panel will "Un-Q-Dock" so that you can place it where you want - again. Note! : There are now 4 complete SETS of 12 MACRO buttons - giving you 48 MACROs. The <<< Home >>> buttons will scroll-thru the 4 SETS. (19) NOTE:    Once you run/open the AXETTY program for the first time, you will start to notice that there will be THREE (3) extra files (in the AXETTY directory) that are being automatically created: MMTTY engine creates: Mmtty.ini and UserPara.ini files AXETTY creates: Settings.dat Special NOTE! : Once these ini and dat files are created, there is no reason to ever have to delete them. When you download an updated AXETTY.exe file - you simply let this exe file over-write the old version. If you DO DELETE these ini and dat files - you WILL also be deleting your MACROs and ALL SAVED info. So, PSE - do NOT delete the ini and dat files. (20) NOTE:    the buttons on the AXETTY program titled as F1 through F12 are transmit "memories" or MACROs. Right click on the button and the macro dialog window will show up ... the auto-turnoff of the transmit is keyed-on the symbol \ or the keyword 'stop' (21) For those DXbase users who RUN AXETTY from a DESKTOP shortcut/icon: AXETTY was made as a standalone program - to be run from your desktop. The one thing that you must fill-in to make AXETTY run properly from this shortcut/icon is: When you make the DESKTOP Shortcut/ICON - be sure that you fill-in the "Target:" and also the "Start In:" textboxes The following LINK will show my own setup for running AXETTY from the DESKTOP: http://www.navycthistory.com/wa6axe/axetty112B.gif This is "only an example" of my own setup .. yours will be different -- just use the example to know what TWO fields to fill-in. (22) For those DXbase users who want to RUN AXETTY from with DXBASE: AXETTY was made as a standalone program - to be run from your desktop. But - yes, you can run AXETTY from within the DXbase program. There are just a couple of things that are mandatory if you do this: (1) When you make the Main Menu / Programs / Customize entry -- you MUST fill-in "BOTH" of these lines of info: Command: and Initial Directory: The following LINK will show my own setup for running AXETTY from within DXbase: http://www.navycthistory.com/wa6axe/axetty112.gif This is "only an example" of my own setup .. yours will be different -- just use the example to know what TWO fields to fill-in. The Initial Directory info will allow the AXETTY program to "find" where the MMTTY.ini and Settings.dat files are located. This will allow the proper execution of your MACROs and the Q-Dock operations. (2) Make sure that you EXIT out of the AXETTY program "before" you EXIT out of DXbase.
