[WriteLog] Function key message not working in PSK or RTTY modes

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Pat et al,

You must tell WriteLog you are using RTTY or PSK31 instead of SSB.
Go to the Bands pull-down menu and select 'LSB is really FSK'.

The problem occurs if you are running AFSK and using radio control with
your radio on LSB.  With the radio on LSB, WL must be told whether or
not you are running digital or voice.

If you are running FSK and radio control, WL knows you are running RTTY
so this problem does not occur.  If there is any doubt, always check 'LSB
is really FSK' under the Bands menu.  This will cure all problems in sending
or not sending message buffers out via the function keys.

When you go to Voice, you must un-check "LSB is really FSK".

73, Don AA5AU

Does anyone have any idea why we couldn't get the function keys to send messages in PSK or RTTY modes using 10.32 during Field Day?
Alt-K would bring up a keyboard which worked, and the right-click and Send F3 worked intermittently.  We finally gave up and went on
voice.

We were running Windows 95 on a laptop which has worked fine with Logger in the past. The rig was an ICOM 706. I had the same
problem with two different WIN98 computers hooked to my TS-440 at home. The CW memories worked just fine with the latter setup. The
TS-440 talks to the computer through a serial adapter, and CW keying is via the parallel port.
