Ed,

Unfortunately that's the way WL works with multiple Rttyrite windows open. To be able to click on a call the Rttyrite window has to be on the same monitor as the main WL program. I run my main Rttyrite window with XMMT and a clone window running 2Tone on the main monitor. I run a second clone Rttyrite 2Tone window on my second monitor using a different version of 2Tone as sometimes one decodes better than the other.

I have found a gimmick to get a call from the second monitor into WL, but it is not nearly as easy as just clicking it into the CALL field. If you see a call on the other monitor try right clicking it. This puts the call into the stack buffer. I have a keyboard shortcut set up, the "[" key, to Push the call from the stack into the CALL field. Once there I can send my exchange macro. So the drill for a call on the Rttyrite window on the other monitor is to RIGHT CLICK, press [, press INSERT. A bit cumbersome, but it does work.

73,

I have two monitors here with WIN7 and I could not click the calls and
reports into the Writelog entry window from 2Tone and MMTTY. The colors
showed up OK in 2Tone and MMTTY.

On the bottom of two screens(use two monitors vertically stacked to save
space) I had Writelog and the rttyrite window using my PK-232 so I can
transmit with FSK and RX with it.  I realize only the main rttyrite
window is used for TX.   It worked fine.  I put the MMTTY and 2tone
cloned receive only rttyrite screens on the top monitor. That is a
"PROBLEM"!  I took me quite awhile to think to put the MMTTY and 2Tone
cloned rttyrite screens on the bottom monitor where the Writelog program
was.  They then work fine.  FWIW I can also put everything on the top
monitor and they will all work but any window be it main or cloned that
is not on the same monitor as Writelog I can not click the calls into
the qso window.

If you don't have two monitors you won't have a problem but if you have
two or more then you have to set things up correctly or it does not
work.  I hope
this saves someone a lot of time as it took me longer than I care to
admit to think to try that.  BTW note what I mentioned above even if it
is your main window for TX and RX has to be on the same monitor screen
as Writelog for clicking to work.  At least it does from me with my WIN7
two monitor set up.
