[WriteLog] Using MMTTY with WriteLog

[Rick Lindquist]

Hi, Joe

I was beginning to wonder if this wasn't the case, although several folks
have told me this should work. I guess I've just wasted $30 unless I want to
run RTTY with the clunky RittyRite engine that comes with WriteLog. That
works. (I feel the BPSK interface for WriteLog is just awful, even compared
to the venerable DigiPan.)

Anyway, many thanks. I'm probably going to go with N1MM and see what
happens.

73, Rick, N1RL

If your USB to serial adapter does not support 5bit codes 
at 45.45 baud (e.g., if you must use EXTFSK for MMTTY in 
stand alone mode), the MMTTY plug-in will not work. 

The MMTTY plug-is does not permit the use of EXTFSK and 
WriteLog's "Software generated FSK (TxD)" is only valid for 
RTTYrite (the native RTTY support with Sound Board FSK or 
Stereo Sound Board FSK).
