[WriteLog] Fw: RTTY PPT delay

[Gary AL9A]

FYI, I just reinstalled the MMTTY plug-in module and when using that in the 
main Rttyrite window the PTT delay symptoms have gone away.  The two clone 
windows are still setup the same using XMMT.ocx.  For some reason on my 
system the MMTTY plug-in seems to play much better on TX as there is 
virtually no PTT lead or PTT tail.  Sorry to say reverting back to the 
plug-in hasn't done a thing for the propagation!

73,
