I solved the problem (Thanks to Don AA5AU and others). I had the CW selected
on COM-2 when in fact it should not been - because RttyRite needs to use that
port and thus there was a port conflict.
In order to document my WL settings for the 756PRO-3 with RigBlaster Pro in FSK
mode (in order that this might help someone else), here they are:
COM 1 (no CW), selected "756PRO3", 9600 baud, Polling: Yes, PTT Comm: No
(This is the port that Rig Control runs on)
COM 2 (no CW), selected "no rig", Auto, Polling: Yes, PTT Comm: Yes (This
port runs FSK and PTT)
Set the CW selection to very bottom selection (just above the "all Mode PPT on
CW Port RTS")
Select "All Mode PTT on CW Port"
RttyRite: Port: COM-2, TU: MMTTY
Writelog "Bands" tab, "LSB is really FSK" is NOT selected
MMTTY: Misc. Tab: TX Port: Select: "Com-Txd (FSK)
Hope this helps someone else.

Subject: Help with Setup of WL with IcomPro3, FSK, Rigblaster Pro
Hi Folks,
I am tearing my hair out trying to get WL set up for FSK using a Rigblaster
Pro and an Icom 756PROIII. I had WL working beautifully when I was in AFSK
mode. However when I added the second serial cable in order to enable FSK
keying, I cannot get the rig to transmit RTTY in FSK. FSK and rig control DOES
work fine with standalone MMTTY. Here is what I understand:
1) With the Rigblaster Pro, you cannot have FSK and Rig Control share the
same serial cable (com port), they must reside on separate com ports/cables.
2) Rigblaster gives you the option of putting Rig Control on either Com port
A or B (but FSK then must be on the other port).
Here is how I have my Rigblaster Pro set up (again it works fine with stand
alone MMTTY):
Rigblaster Comm A: FSK, PTT, and CW - this corresponds to Comm 2 on my
computer
Rigblaster Comm B: Rig Control - corresponds to Comm 1 on my computer
For the life of me, I cannot get Writelog properly setup to work; I can get
PTT to work, but I don't hear RTTY tones in "monitor", just a steady tone. I
have tried just about every combination possible without success - including
setting parameters in RTTYrite and in the MMTTY engine that comes with WL.
I understand that I need to set Comm one to 756PROIII, no Poll, 9600 baud, no
Comm PTT (this is the port for Rig Control)
Comm two on the computer is set to radio button checked for CW, Auto, Poll,
Yes on Comm PTT (If I also choose 756PRO3 for this port, then PPT locks up)
The PTT setting is the "all mode PTT" (which worked great before in AFSK).
Any help would be appreciated, I have searched all the archives and googled
the internet but did not discover a solution or documentation (which somewhat
surprises me since I think this is very popular combination of equipment).
Thanks,
Gordon Bousman, N9BHH
