[RTTY] What causes RTTY with longish character spacing?

[W5CPT]

One thing that might cause the odd spacing is if MMTTY is set to transmit "WORD OUT" rather than "CHARACTER OUT". (This can also set it to "LINE OUT".) The wait may be till the word is in the buffer and then it goes into TX.  This setting is under "Option(O)" at the top of the screen.

  I also use a microHam interface and do not have that problem.

  The only thing I can think of with a microham interface doing that is with the strict bps box checked.

  For me if it sent RTTY that slow I would throw it in the trash.
