The "All mode PTT on RTS" setting works just fine as does "Comm PTT"
if your transceiver supports PTT via CAT command (not all do). In
general if your interface includes a Winkey device for CW, setting
the WriteLog CW Keyer type to "K1EL WinKey" or "K1EL WinKeyer 2" will
cause WriteLog to send the WinKey "Set PTT" command for transmit in
SSB (DVK), or AFSK/PSK31 modes when "Sound Board AFSK" or "Stereo Sound
Board AFSK" is selected in RTTYrite.
