FYI, I just reinstalled the MMTTY plug-in module and when using that in the
main Rttyrite window the PTT delay symptoms have gone away. The two clone
windows are still setup the same using XMMT.ocx. For some reason on my
system the MMTTY plug-in seems to play much better on TX as there is
virtually no PTT lead or PTT tail. Sorry to say reverting back to the
plug-in hasn't done a thing for the propagation!

Subject: [WriteLog] RTTY PPT delay
I've been struggling to make a few QSOs in the SPDX RTTY contest and band
conditions are simply awful. However, it is providing a bit of a test bed
for the new XMMT.ocx interface. I've been noticing two things on
transmit. One, in the main Rttyrite screen that prints in blue italics
text, my macro messages print erratically. Sometimes they print out
character by character, as with the MMTTY plug-in, other times the entire
macro dumps onto the screen as soon as the F key is pressed, and still
other times I see part of the macro print to screen, then a slight pause
and then the rest of the macro dumps onto the screen. Both of my clone
windows, one with 2Tone the other with MMTTY, print the macros correctly
character by character. I don't know what the problem is with the main
Rttyrite screen, but it seems to be sending ok despite the weird
appearance.
On another note, I use the microHAM MKII keyer and router software with my
FSK setup. It seems to me by ear that both the PTT lead and tail are
longer than what I'm used to hearing with the MMTTY plug-in. The PTT tail
seems particularly long and I've tried adjusting that setting on the PTT
tab in router to no avail. Is there something in XMMT.ocx that is causing
this? Anyone else notice it or just me? I think I will reinstall the
MMTTY plug-in and see if that makes a difference.
