[WriteLog] Two WriteLog / MMTTY issues

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Always make sure you have "COMM PTT" set to NO in WriteLog's Setup ->
Ports dialog.  Many rigs have a "race" condition between command PTT
and hardware PTT which can result in a "hung in transmit" condition
if both hardware and software PTT are enabled.
