On #1, no I have not experienced this issue.

On #2 - Apparently when you used the MMTTY plug-in, you had "AFC is 
automatically turned OFF while there are letters in the CALL
field." enabled (get to this option by going to TU type menu in Rttyrite, then 
to TNC Setup option ONLY AFTER the MMTTY plug-in has
been selected). When using MMTTY with XMMT.ocx, this option is available in the 
"Setup XMMT.ocx" screen under TU type menu. It is on
the upper right hand side and says "Afc off/on w/CALL". Check that option and 
it should be like what you are used to.

On a side note, I never use this option. I feel that MMTTY is fast enough to 
follow any signal that is within the audio passband.

Subject: [WriteLog] Two WriteLog / MMTTY issues

Hi Folks,

I ran WriteLog 11.18C this past weekend, with MMTTY as my primary, and 2-Tone 
in a clone window.  I'm running FSK (not AFSK) through
a microKEYER.

I noticed two differences between how I remember WriteLog working (I've noticed 
these before with 11.17):

1.  When I type ALT-K to type in a message, then ALT-K to close it, PTT usually 
de-asserts at the end of that message.  But many
times it did NOT do this, and I had to hover over the ESC key to stop 
transmission when PTT was stuck on.  Did anyone else notice
this, or are there now situations where PTT will not automatically de-assert 
(i.e. when you're in the middle of logging a QSO, vs.
not being)?

2.  When running MMTTY in AFC mode, MMTTY would would drift until it centered 
on a new caller.  I send the exchange.  Now during the
time I'm copying the other station's exchange, the AFC button use to be OUT, in 
other words, MMTTY was locked.  Then after I sent
the TU QRZ MMTTY would go back into AFC.  I did not see the AFC button ever 
"locking" while receiving the exchange.  Is this
something different resulting from the new OFX (?) interface between WriteLog 
and MMTTY?
