[WriteLog] RTTY Questions

[Don Cassel]

Bob,

Two comments,

The scrolling of Rttyrite is intentional so that the call you may be trying
to click on does not move up a line just when you are clicking. Hitting a
moving target can be rather challenging. 

When using auto CQ the time you enter is the total time of the message
including the wait between resends. If you use too short a time then the
action you describe can happen.

GL on the other problem, I suspect something is not set right rather than it
being a Rigblaster problem.

I've spent a couple of hours messing around, and made 59 qsos in the BARTG
contest with Writelog, MMTTY, my ProII @100w and a G5RV laying on my roof.
Not bad.

So far, everything seems to work fine, except that I think my Rigblaster has
failed since my afsk tones do not pass through it.  I'm not sure why.  I
think the PTT may not be pulling in.  How am I supposed to configure for the
PTT on the serial port for the rigblaster?  My LPT port PTT is working
though - go figure.

I may toss the Rigblaster and just make my own to clear up this mystery.

I have one complaint, and one bug report.

The complaint is regarding the scrolling of the rttyrite screen.  How do I
make it stop doing what ever it does where when it fills up the screen, it
goes back up to the top.  I don't know where to look.  New text should
always appear at the bottom, and then the old text should just scroll up.

The bug report is that I tried to do a timed CQ, and Writelog/MMTTY went
nuts.  It started sending my CQ message over and over.  I stopped it, and
after that, the memories would not send their contents properly.  I shut all
the programs, rebooted the computer, and have not tried a timed CQ again.

RTTY's cool.
