I've changed my mind about using 2Tone FSK in the main Rttyrite window for the
contest. There is a slight delay between hitting an F
key and when the radio keys up.
Also, like hardware-FSK, it spits out the characters of the message onto the
screen before they are actually sent. I'm going back to
software-generated FSK even though I am using legacy serial ports on each PC.
Software-generated FSK will work for both
USB-to-serial adapters and legacy serial ports and seems to have better timing
although I've not measured it.

Subject: [WriteLog] 2Tone v14.07b with FSK & PTT now
David, G3YYD, has released 2Tone version 14.07b which now includes both FSK and
PTT on the same COM port. I've tested it using a
legacy COM port under WriteLog and both FSK and PTT appear to work fine. (Set
Rttyrite Port menu to None and select FSK and PTT COM
ports in 2Tone Setup). This means there are now 3 separate options in which to
key FSK when using 2Tone in the main Rttyrite window:
Hardware-generated FSK
Software-generated FSK
2Tone FSK
I have not tried it using a USB-to-serial adapter but will when I get a chance
after the contest. I'm going to use 2Tone FSK on one
of my two radios in today's NAQP RTTY to see how it works.
All 2Tone versions can be downloaded from the Downloads Page on
rttycontesting.com.
