[WriteLog] Fwd: WL Soundcard Mixer FRUSTRATION

[K6VVA]

Many TNX to all for the replies and suggestions.

Yes, I had been using a Stereo to Mono adaptor at the external VOX operated 
audio card input.  I am not going to do a full automation thing this time, 
as am QRX for (hopefully) Wayne to add my ALT + K "Unlimited SSB Messages" 
enhancement.

3 trips to into town (Radio Shack) later, and falling off the wagon buying 
a pack of cigarettes, I ended up with a 1/8" stereo to mono "Y" connector 
which I thought my solve the problem...and to route only one side of the 
audio to the radio with the audio interface.

Unfortunately, l still can't get to the bottom of why WL is still sending 
some kind of PTT signal via the DXD to either radio when I push an SSB 
message key where the audio is NOT connected to the other radio via a 2nd 
outboard sound card (they didn't get the parts to fix my 2nd card in 
time).  I know it doesn't seem to make any sense, but the key I use to 
hot-switch between radios also sends my callsign.  if I'm on the Radio with 
no audio card interface but want to snag someone on the other radio which 
does have the audio card, then it makes perfect sense.

Any ideas of what on earth is triggering the PTT when I clearly selected 
"NO" for PTT on COMM Port?  I even unchecked the CW only/RTS box on the 
Ports dialog box.  My outboard sound cards are VOX operated...I don't want 
ANY "PTT" type operation from WL.  I even turned off the PTT switch on the 
DXD, but in any case still need to resolve this PTT issue before I get the 
2nd audio card back and installed.  I simply do not want PTT under any 
circumstances, but can't figure out how to axe it in WL.

Tnx again to all for the suggestions.
