Gary,
Glad I could help. You mentioned:
>The only thing is to remember to reconfigure
RttyRite for the correct settings to switch between CW and the MMTTY
plug-in. I expect I will blow it a couple of times, but fortunately if
things aren't correct WL will let me know by refusing to transmit until I
get things set right!<
I should have mentioned that too. Just exit RttyRite BEFORE changing modes.
After you change modes and reconfigure the interface (if required), restart
RttyRite and away you go. I sort of recall it finds the mode automatically,
mind you I could have had an extra 807 by then to and thought it worked that
way.
Good luck,
Eric - VE3GSI
