OK, you're wrong :.)
My COM ports are set up as follows:
COM1 - modem
COM2 - Radio
COM3 - Packet
COM4 - PTT/CW/FSK
COM5 - Acom amp
Obviously, I don't use CW and FSK at the same time, so when running
WL/MMTTY, I choose None for CW in the Setup Ports window. When
running CW, I choose COM4 and MMTTY isn't open.
