I do. It's in the MMTTY Help file, which most of you have a copy of. Do 
a search for UOS in the Help file, and in addition to the UOS button on 
the MMTTY main window, which controls USOS at the receive end, you will 
also find a UOS setting in the TX Tab section of the MMTTY Setup window. 
This one can be used to turn on USOS during transmitting.

So with MMTTY you have your choice: No USOS, USOS only on receive, USOS 
only on transmit, or both.
