[GreenKeys] FW: RTTY over the internet

[John Lawson]

   Hi James - I love Winamp and Shoutcast, but Winamp's User Interface, is, 
IMHO, just a bit on the counter-intuitive side...   o well.

   With Shoutcast and Winamp both running, go to the 'search' function of 
Shoutcast and enter 'teletype' in the box, then hit 'go' or just the 
return key.

   You should oughta get another (overly complicated) Shoutcast screen with 
one entry - hopefully the one we want ("News from Sequim...  " etc)

   Hit the "Tune In!" button on the left of the listing.  You may have to 
press the "play" button in Winamp - my system (WinTel LapTop/ Win2KPro) 
just starts deedle-deedling at that point.

   Now fire up your RTTY proggie, and enjoy.


   Also note that you may have to fiddle with the Audio Software ins and 
outs, and also, if using a Laptop - be aware that most of the Windows 
versions have the on-board microphone enabled - this will pick up 
extraneous noise and mix it into the AFSK stream - which will confuse your 
RTTY utility, and simulate QRM.  Be sure it's turned off, in the Audio 
Control Panels, under 'Options", 'Recording'.

    Give this a try - write back if no joy, or if you get it working...



   Cheers
