Writelog S/W either has a glitch or RF is getting into the computer as ever
so
often the PTT will drop right after a number is sent (or so it seems) during
a RTTY transmission.  The sending of the "letters" command may have
something to do with this S/W situation.  Other S/W programs do not have the
"PTT drop" in the same RF environment.

WL is used on single 2.4 GHz Dell Computer running SO2R RTTY.  Have not
tried WL to see if the problem occurs when SO1R RTTY.

Immediately before the PTT is dropped, WL seems to hesitate after the number
is sent and then drops the PTT.  If WL sends the number without hesitation,
PTT isn't dropped.

Notice the WL, computer generated,  CW, SO1R, gets messed up sometimes.
Hitting "Escape" and then the function for the macro clears the erratic CW
for a while.  Not sure the issues are the same, just incase there is
relationship.

This dropped PTT started happening with WL V10.68.  Don't remember which WL
version when the erratic CW started.  Presently, using V10.70C.

Anyone else seeing this or similar?
