I set this to NO in Writelog and now I don't have PTT at all.

Should Com5 (my FSK port) have it Writelog Comm PTT set to NO?

Router has FSK: COM5, PTT checked.  

Also in the Router's PTT Tab, FSK/Digital:  PTT2 (rear panel jack) is 
selected.  

I am sorry to be so hard headed about this, but it is not working.
