[RTTY] Question for ST-8000 users

[Bill Turner]

I just became the proud owner of a HAL ST-8000. I would be even more 
proud if I could get it to work right. :-) I'm using WriteLog version 
10.54c, Windows XP Home SP2, Pentium 4 2.4 GHz.

The problem must have to do with com port settings. It decodes the 
received signal ok, but when it prints in the RittyRite window, it 
comes in chunks instead of letter by letter. There will be a pause of 
about one or two seconds, then 15-20 characters will print all at 
once, then another pause, then another 15-20 characters all at once 
and so on. When transmitting, the actual output over the air is ok 
(monitored on a second computer) but the print echoed to the 
RittyRite window is chunky too.

This would seem to me to be a flow control problem but I have tried 
all combinations possible with no luck. Have tried two different com 
ports. Been all through the manual and can't find any info about com 
port settings, which surprises me somewhat. I would think the 
settings would be important, but maybe not. Am I overlooking something?

All suggestions appreciated.
