NOTICE:The latest developing x86 MS-DMT v2.00 software is being provided in a well tested and proven test build. The MS-DMT software does NOT requires a license file for RX use of the tool or basic MS110A two-way communications use by those authorized. Additional features of the tool are controlled by the license file approach for authorized users.

NOTE: When installing the sofware under Windows 7 SP1 or later, ***DO NOT*** install to the C:\PROGRAM FILES\ or "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folders depending on the version being install. MS-DMT does not support that convention. To overcome the limitation, just the installer to install MS-DMT to its default path or if you desire a unique folder under the root folder your drive selection. The default paths depending on the distribution are "C:\MS_DMT\" or "C:\MSC\MS_DMT\" to work in conjunction with MARS external terminal applications.

MS-DMT currently provides for MS110A and S4415 modems with additional modems and GUI tools in development

NOTE: Authorized MS-DMT users with U.S. Amateur Radio licenses be aware that under current FCC rules, MS-DMT may only be used for transmit on HF on the 60 meter Amateur Radio band as 60m rules are not symbol rate based. Be sure NOT to use greater than a 2.8kHz passband filter on data transmit with any HF SSB transceivers on the 60 meter band. FCC rules seem to permit use of military serial tone waveforms for Digital Voice or Image transmissions were such transmissions are permitted on HF. FCC rules allow 1200 baud symbol rate use for data transmission at 28Mhz and above, thus MS-DMT current modems may be used on the 6 meter and higher bands.
