Both instances of MMTTY are now receiving the proper signal and demodulating correctly.  Now on to the transmit issue which I'll tackle this evening.  I have a sneaking suspicion that it has to do with the way I have my com ports setup.  I'll report back when I get it resolved.  After I get all of this working, I'll look at installing OCX  Thanks  Rich - N5ZC     On 5/19/2014 8:49 AM, Dean St. Hill wrote:   Rich    Welcome to the twilight zone. Been there. Many times.     To see the way the sound cards are set-up within your system - click on the Audio-switching tab of MK2R+. then click on "soundcard" - over on the right 2/3 down the window.     Even though the MMTTY plugin works, I would suggest that it might be a good idea to actually use t
he "OCX" set-up guideline as this is a more modern driver with the possibility of also using "2tone" as an alternative to MMTTY.     if you're setting audio from the left channel in both windows - 1st make sure the buttons on MK2R+ are set correctly. That's the top right section of MK2R. If that is correct then you need to go to windows sound system - right click on the "speaker logo" in the system tray. Choose recording devices. in the recording devices double-click the USB codec. Then choose "advanced" tab - extreme right top of the new window.  You will then see a drop-down with "default format" - this is where you need to choose a stereo option. Your current default is probably a mono option.     I choose 2 channel, 16 bit 44100Hz (CD Quality) and this has always worked for me but I am almost sure it can be a much much lower quality - others with more expertise may jump in and help with guidance here.     Finally after clicking the necessary "OK" etc. return to the two MMTTY wind
ows and just confirm that left channel has been set up for your radio 1 and right channel for your radio 2.      Hmmm... you may also want to go back to router as well and under audio switching tab re-confirm that the "use line out channel" has also been set for radio one and radio 2. both may be set as "left".     you should now be good to go as far as dual receive.     let's get that going and then check the tx side of the equation.     73 and best regards,      Dean - 8P6SH                On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 7:37 AM, Richard Thorne <rthorne at rthorne.net> wrote:This is a cross post to Writelog and Microham.  I've been working on configuring an MK2R+ SO2R controller with a pair of K3's and my Win 7 Pro computer.  I've been able to get SSB and CW to work properly.  I'm hung up on RTTY using MMTTY.  I've downloaded the setup guide from Microham and have setup two directories and two instances of MMTTY, I also have the MMTTY plug in for Writelog installed.  If I select the test butt
on for FSK on the MK2R+ ports tab for rig 1 I get diddling same goes for rig 2.  While in Writelog I've followed the setup instructions by first selecting rig 1 and starting MMTTY from the appropriate directory, same for rig 2.  However, I can't get either to diddle.  In addition, both instances of MMTTY appear to be getting the same audio from rig 1 from the phone jack.  I've selected the right and left audio source on the misc tab while in TNC setup.  On the sound card tab in TNC setup I've selected Reception: Microphone (3 - USB Audio CODEC) and Transmission: Speakers (3 - USB Audio CODEC)  How does one determine which device identifier to select on the misc tab in tnc setup?  I thought it would be 3 but I'm obviously incorrect.  I want to to use the line out on the rear of the K3's to grab the audio since it's fixed and won't be affected by the volume control of either K3.  The frustrating part is that I had this MK2R+ working just fine on RTTY with one K3, adding the 2nd K3 has 
been a challenge.  Is there an updated setup guide specifically for Win 7?  I'm half tempted to dust off an XP Pro laptop and give that a try, Win 7 makes things very challenging.  Thanks in advance for any assistance.
