[WriteLog] Using MMTTY with WriteLog

This is incorrect.

Software generated FSK will work for USB-to-serial adapters with the MMTTY plug-in.  I'm doing it on one computer/radio now.  The
key is to go to MMTTY stand-alone and change EXTFSK to the port number of the adapter on the TX tab and then on the MISC tab, USB
Port, select C: Limiting Speed.  In WL, select the port of the adapter in the Rttyrite menu along with Software generated FSK.

Rick's having a similar issue but the suggestions we have been giving him aren't working for some reason.

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).
