_________________________________________________________ OOPS! Apologies to all. I was speaking of my logging program, not WriteLog. A senior moment. 73, Bill W7TI
I think I might have found why WriteLog and MMTTY sometimes add a long carrier to the beginning and/or end of a macro transmission. I seem to have cured the problem at my station anyway, and it might
_________________________________________________________ Let's make sure we are talking about the same problem. Here are two questions: 1. Are you having the problem of a long carrier (2-3 seconds)
_________________________________________________________ Another option is to use software PTT instead of hardware. That way, the radio may beep at you, but it won't go into transmit mode. 73, Bill
_________________________________________________________ Actually "radio control" does have to do with PTT. The problem happens when you accidentally are using radio control to do PTT and you also a
_________________________________________________________ Things are getting a little confused here. Please look at this picture: www.dslextreme.com/users/w7ti/ports.jpg Notice there is only one rig
_________________________________________________________ This tells me your cable on Com2 is only for the RTTY data and not for PTT, right? If so, that should work ok, but I would uncheck the Com2 b
_________________________________________________________ Ok, I understand now, but that's different from here. You might try disconnecting your Com2 PTT and leaving the Com1 (where the '870 is) ON.

_________________________________________________________ I'd go to AA5AU's website: http://www.geocities.com/writelog/ and check out all the links there. And when your setup looks right, connect to
_________________________________________________________ Did you mean which contest to select? It's WORLD WIDE RTTY WPX. Or was there a different question? 73, Bill W7TI
_________________________________________________________ That's correct. I just got a message back confirming receipt of my log. Perhaps they don't have their server running 24/7? 73, Bill W7TI
_________________________________________________________ Once you get it working right, do two saves: 1. In the main window, click setup>save configuration and check the RTTY box. 2. Save the main l
_________________________________________________________ Go to your writelog.ini file and change the autosavecount entry to this: AutoSaveCount= 1 That will make it save the log every time you enter
_________________________________________________________ Send it in. Sending in logs to contest sponsors is like voting is to politicians. It encourages them. :-) Bill, W7TI
