[WriteLog] Fw: RTTY PPT delay

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

I see no difference in PTT lead/tail times with either the SM6SRW
MMTTY plugin for Writelog or WriteLog's XMMT.ocx support.

What are your WinKey Lead/Lag times in Router?   WriteLog's XMMT.ocx
support will assert PTT on Winkey (all mode PTT) while MMTTY is
asserting PTT on DTR of the FSK port.

You can check to see if it is the all mode PTT by temporarily setting
the WriteLog port to 'None' in Router's Ports tab.

73,
