Curiously Joe, while working with Rick on the phone, I noticed a peculiar
thing. I can NOT get the MicroKeyer to work with EXTFSK. Now, this is NOT
a problem, at least not for regular use. I've always used standalone MMTTY
with a virtual port for PTT and FSK selected and it works fine with Speed
Limiting set on. This has always worked fine. When choosing EXTFSK, PTT is
correctly exerted on the rig, but FSK is not generated. Changing back to
the same port (3) works fine with both PTT and FSK. Was not a problem
except for trying to help Rick troubleshoot.
