That's right, the lockout is across all computers on the network. From the
Help file ...
Tools RTTY Single Transmitter Lockout
There are two modes for doing transmitter lockout's for RTTY.
Both of these lockout modes also work for CW and SSB except that WriteLog
cannot lockout manual PTT, VOX or paddle operation.
Last one wins mode
Transmission is allowed by any station on the network (or any of the radios
on a single station). If some other station (or radio) has already started a
transmission, it is aborted. This lockout works on a single station with no
network. That is, if you would like to lock out two-radios on a single
computer such that only one can be on the air at a time, this mode is the
one to use.
First one wins mode
No station is allowed to transmit while any other station on the network is
already on the air. This mode is only supported for networked stations. That
is, this mode only locks out stations with a single radio connected.
