I see no difference in PTT lead/tail times with either the SM6SRW
MMTTY plugin for Writelog or WriteLog's XMMT.ocx support.

What are your WinKey Lead/Lag times in Router?   WriteLog's XMMT.ocx
support will assert PTT on Winkey (all mode PTT) while MMTTY is
asserting PTT on DTR of the FSK port.

You can check to see if it is the all mode PTT by temporarily setting
the WriteLog port to 'None' in Router's Ports tab.

FYI, I just reinstalled the MMTTY plug-in module and when using that in
the main Rttyrite window the PTT delay symptoms have gone away.  The two
clone windows are still setup the same using XMMT.ocx.  For some reason
on my system the MMTTY plug-in seems to play much better on TX as there
is virtually no PTT lead or PTT tail.  Sorry to say reverting back to
the plug-in hasn't done a thing for the propagation!

I've been struggling to make a few QSOs in the SPDX RTTY contest and
band conditions are simply awful.  However, it is providing a bit of a
test bed for the new XMMT.ocx interface.  I've been noticing two
things on transmit.  One, in the main Rttyrite screen that prints in
blue italics text, my macro messages print erratically.  Sometimes
they print out character by character, as with the MMTTY plug-in,
other times the entire macro dumps onto the screen as soon as the F
key is pressed, and still other times I see part of the macro print to
screen, then a slight pause and then the rest of the macro dumps onto
the screen.  Both of my clone windows, one with 2Tone the other with
MMTTY, print the macros correctly character by character.  I don't
know what the problem is with the main Rttyrite screen, but it seems
to be sending ok despite the weird appearance.

On another note, I use the microHAM MKII keyer and router software
with my FSK setup.  It seems to me by ear that both the PTT lead and
tail are longer than what I'm used to hearing with the MMTTY plug-in.
The PTT tail seems particularly long and I've tried adjusting that
setting on the PTT tab in router to no avail.  Is there something in
XMMT.ocx that is causing this?  Anyone else notice it or just me?  I
think I will reinstall the MMTTY plug-in and see if that makes a
difference.
