[WriteLog] MMTTY 1.63 Problem Summary

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Alan, I always get these characters on my screen.  They appear at the beginning
of a transmission (and on rare occasion a few extra characters at the end).  However,
they are not actually transmitted.  These "extra" characters were not being decoded
by the DXP-38.  Do make double sure, I check with transmission with my other
radio.  It's annoying, but those extra characters are not being transmit.  If you were
to run dual receive with an external TNC and your radio MONITOR on, the TNC
in the 2nd RTTY window will show you exactly what is being transmit.

73, Don AA5AU
