I understood it perfectly. Know it means reading ad controlling frequency.
It does not work for me unless I leave the COMM PTT YES checked. Don't ask
me why, I long ago gave up trying to figure out all these excessive control
buttons, just use what I have found to work, after trying and getting a lot
of help from the group.
It works with it checked , it does no work if it is not checked. What do you
thing I am going to use?

Besides there is no logical reason that both of these should not work
together?
It does not make logical sense to use both hardware and software PTT at the
same time but it should not make the program fail either. As a matter of
fact I have not seen the MMTTY symptom here although I admit to not using it
that much.
