[WriteLog] RTTY Questions

[Bob Naumann - N5NJ]

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement to stick with the rttyrite scrolli=
ng.  I'll hang in there with you guys for sure.

Now, onto my "rigblaster" situation.

The thing that threw me, was that I had gotten everything working with MMTT=
Y stand-alone and it worked perfectly.  I figured I'd be all set with Write=
log.  This proved to be a false assumption.  =


I have my Rigblaster set up on Com4.  I of course, set MMTTY for Com4 and i=
t worked just fine.

Writelog is normally set up to do PTT & computer generated CW on LPT1 throu=
gh my ZS4TX Super Combo Keyer.  (It also serves as my SO2R switching box an=
d the rs-232 interface for my ProII.)

I started rttyrite, and set the port for com4.  This is the problem.  This =
does not make rttyrite do ptt on Com4.  What I had to do, is leave the sett=
ings for LPT1 alone, and add that Com4 is a CW port in my Writelog port set=
up, and contrary to my logic, have no port selected in Rttyrite.

It seems that all is well with the rigblaster after all, but I may "roll my=
 own" anyway to handle all of the variations for SSB hookups and to just us=
e FSK.

I make it stop doing what ever it does where when it fills up the screen, i=

nuts.  It started sending my CQ message over and over.  I stopped it, and a=

 the programs, rebooted the computer, and have not tried a timed CQ again.
