Hi Neal,

I use the microHAM micriKEYER and it works very well with everything 
I've tried.  I've configured it to run the following:

Software:
MMTTY - RTTY FSK and RTTY AFSK
DXLab WinWarbler - RTTY FSK, PSK, CW QSK
N1MM Logger - RTTY FSK, PSK, CW QSK
WriteLog - RTTY FSK, PSK, CW QSK, CW PTT
DXBase - CW PTT (haven't tried PSK)

Here is my setup

microKEYER ports:
Radio control:  Com5
FSK: Com6
CW: Com3
PTT: Com7

I'll give you my settings for MMTTY.  Once you get that going you can 
get just about anything else working.

MMTTY settings in Option (O) under "Setup MMTTY (O)..":
Under TX Tab:  PTT = Com 6

Radio command button:
Port = Com7
DTR/RTS PTT is checked
You'll have to fill in the port definition yourself for your rig for 
baud, data length stop and parity.

Misc Tab:
TX Port pick Com-Txd(FSK)
USB Port Button pick C: Limiting speed

Device ID:  This should be -1 if you only have one sound card and it has 
the default address.  You might have to use trial and error if you don't 
get a receive signal through MMTTY.  Try -1, 0, 1, 2, or 3.  For example 
my computers MB sound card is -1 but I use a separate Turtle Beach Santa 
Cruz card for ham radio and it is 3.

If you have any trouble I recommend you contact Jozef at microHAM 
support.  He is very, very helpful, tough he is on a different sleep 
cycle that we are so it may take him a day to respond.

Good luck and 73,
Art
