[WriteLog] FSK via WL/MMTTY

Mon Sep 20 10:13:15 PDT 2010

 Hello

I have running WL + MMTTY as FSK with no problems.

my setup: 

Icom IC756 Pro III 
Rigblaster Plug and Play (or Plug and Pray hi hi), only for CAT and CW. The AFSK side is disconnected.
WL 10.74J
MMTTY
External homemade interface only to key FSK using serial port COM 1, not USB (maybe here is the problem with your setup)

In the WL Ports Setup i have only defined the port where Rigblaster is connected.
MMTTY has not port defined for PTT or whatever 
RTTYrite, has defined COM 1 as Port and TU Type as MMTTY.

With this, I have working WL as FSK 100%

If anything else I can do for you, please let me know. I can call you home also to check all the setup ok?. Pse send me private message with your phone if you want.
