Gary,

Go to the MK II area at www.microHAM-USA.com/Support.html, download the
updated configuration for Writelog and MK II *and follow it* for the
SM6SRW MMTTY Plug-in for Writelog or the XMMT.ocx interface using FSK.

I have just checked and *both* work perfectly at 75 baud.  I was able
to transmit at 75 baud and receive on a different system at 75 baud in
either 2Tone or MMTTY (using WinWarbler) as well as the decoder built
into the K3.

You *must* use MMTTY to generate the FSK - *DO NOT* attempt to use the
WriteLog software (or hardware) generated FSK.  It appears that one can
not select 75 baud with *hardware* generated FSK and the SM6SRW MMTTY
Plug-in for WriteLog (although it is possible to use Hardware generated
FSK at 75 baud with XMMT.ocx).

It will be necessary to set the baud rate in MMTTY (Options | Setup
MMTTY | Decode tab) ... I recommend defining a "Profile" for 75 baud
so you can return to it quickly.  Also make sure "Fixes 45.45" is *NOT*
checked in HAM Default or every time you chick "HAM" the data rate will
be reset to 45.45 baud.

Software Generated FSK is 45.45 baud only and can not be used for this
contest.


73,
