Hi Bob,
I will leave the RigBlaster questions to someone more familiar with that
hardware then me. I have a PRO and prefer using the FSK features of the rig
over an audio injected signal.

-> 
-> I have one complaint, and one bug report.
-> 
-> The complaint is regarding the scrolling of the rttyrite 
-> screen.  How do I make it stop doing what ever it does where 
-> when it fills up the screen, it goes back up to the top.  I 
-> don't know where to look.  New text should always appear at 
-> the bottom, and then the old text should just scroll up.
-> 
This has been discussed before on the reflector and you will find that the
'non-scrolling' RTTY screen is preferred, least by this station. You may
have discovered that clicking on the first letter of a callsign in the RTTY
screen will transfer it to the ENTRY window (same for the exchance data). If
the lines were constantly scrolling up, then we would have the added
challenge of shooting the moving callsign and data with the mouse. I am sure
preferred by gamers, but not a tired operator in the middle of a long night.
After a short time, you will find looking for the red line for the latest
received will become second nature.


-> The bug report is that I tried to do a timed CQ, and 
-> Writelog/MMTTY went nuts.  It started sending my CQ message 
-> over and over.  I stopped it, and after that, the memories 
-> would not send their contents properly.  I shut all the 
-> programs, rebooted the computer, and have not tried a timed CQ again.
-> 
The AUTO-CQ timer counts from the start of the macro and NOT between them,
so try at least 20 seconds loops and adjust your needs from there. I hope
this helps.  If you do happen to get a few macros all 'glued' together then
pressing the 'ESCAPE KEY' should stop them. For a very few stubborn times it
has happened here, I have found pressing 'Ctrl-K' to bring up the Keyboard
screen and pressing escape will stop them too. 


-> RTTY's cool.
Bob, you sure got that right.

73 from the Frozen North,
Eric - VE3GSI.
