Don,

In RTTYrite, PORT is set to NONE
Hardware generated FSK is checked (and grayed out)

As such, I'm pretty sure WL is generating the FSK and sending it to the
virtual COM port.
other things:
TU type = XMMT.ocx

In XMMT setup:
Port = EXTFSK64
  Radio command, Port = none

Misc:
  TX Port = COM-TxD(FSK)
   USB Port = C  limiting speed

In Writelog Setup (Ports):
Rig1 = Elecraft K3, COM5  Rate=default, CommPTT = yes
all other rigs blank
CW = COM15 (Winkey USB)

My FSK and PTT settings are on COM6 which is the second virtual COM port in
the K4.
The K4 is in FSK mode, not DATA or USB.

BUT (!)  I don't seem to have COM6 listed anywhere in MMTTY or WL so I
can't explain how it works. I'm a hardware guy so I have no idea how this
software stuff works.

73, Alan  AD6E / KH6TU
