Spent some of my operating time this weekend trying to figure this out.
Still looking for suggestions or help.

I installed MMTTY and tried it.  Same symptoms.  One Rttywrite window works
fine.  As soon as the second one is enabled, both stop printing.  The MMTTY
scope is showing correctly as a station is tuned in.

I turned off WL and decided to try it just with MMTTY.  I could get two
MMTTY windows both copying perfectly with left and right channels from the
X-Fi sound card.

I have to assume it is something in WriteLog or Rttywrite that is getting
confused, but no idea what to check.

Thanks for any help.

Randy, K5ZD


PS - I ended up SO1R all weekend.  Sure missed having the second radio to
tune around.  Conditions were amazing!!
