[RTTY] Contesting w/ 2 Tone & MMTTY

[Jerry Pixton]

And those of us with the nice Flex radios are stuck in AFSK. Since there 
is an interface to control NET (used by N1MM), perhaps Writelog's 
Xmmt.ocx can exploit that. Although I have never used it, does the "This 
is the Run Station" on the Radio menu inform Writelog of what the 
operator intends to do?

Joe, tell me more about the "RXM_Switch command"

It seems that 60 Hz off frequency when I am running in AFSK puts me into 
the guy next to me. Not nice.
