[TRLog] RE: TRLog and RTTY - PK232

[Ron Thomas]

I send the CTRL-D by using an editor that does hex, and editing the
logcfg.dat file.  While in normal text, put in the command for the RTTY
Receive string.  Put a space where the CTRL-D will be.  Switch to hex mode,
and change the space (x20) to CTRL-D (x04).  I use Ultraedit32 to do this,
which I read about here (or maybe on the PSK31 list) a few years ago.  It
also does column mode editing, and isn't very expensive.

The problem I have with the transmit command is that the control M is
treated as a carriage return, and just ends up with an extra blank line in
the file.  I can't figure out how to make it part of the command and not
just the end of the command.

BTW, somebody suggested CTRL-J in a private email last week.  Thanks, but it
didn't work.
