[WriteLog] Strang things with WL in WPX RTTY

[ON5MF]

Hi Goetz,

this weekend I didn't use my PTCIIe, I tried MMTTY for the first time.

I had this same problem regularly in the past using the PTCIIe with WF1B, the only solution I could find was restarting the PTC and the software...

Seems to be a PTC-problem ????  I did a lot of tests with different computers and it always happened when least expected.  This seems only to happen  when an important multiplier calls you :-)

I always thought it was a problem somewhere in my setup but now I don't feel alone anymore...

  Hello all!

  The recent WPX RTTY contest was only my second contest using Writelog.
  I noticed two peculiarities and have no explanation for them.

  2) My primary RTTY TNC is a PTC-II. It is connected to the PC via the
     onboard COM2 at 19200Bd. There are NO IRQ or EA address conflicts
     reported by Windows XP Home. CPU speed is 2.3 GHz, 512MB of RAM.
     The FT1000MP is keyed with FSK signals generated by the PTC-II.
     That's what I use with Writelog. Parallel to this I have MMTTY running
     with the onboard soundsystem. Gives me a great tuning indicator and - most
     important "dual" receive capability. Norton Internet Security and Norton
     AntiVirus are deactivated.
     Now for the first time ever I noticed the following: Without any indication
     why, the receive print in the RTTYRITE window was slowed down by several
     seconds, hampering fast operation. I had to key in what was shown without
  any
     delay by MMTTY. This happened a total of three times. Each time I was doing
     Auto-CQ and fairly busy working the stations that called me. To cure this
     problem, I had to close Writelog AND turn the PTC-II OFF (and on again).
     Were there similar experiences by others? What may be the cause?
