Nick,

I just fixed my problem with no highlighting in the MMTTY screen!  When I 
started WL the Rttyrite window opened and I could finally hear a single call 
FW5FF.  It would print the call ok, but no highlighting yet.  Then I 
remembered that the Makrothen contest module exhibits this same behavior 
from time to time and the fix there is to close Rttyrite and then 
immediately reopen it.  So I closed my Rttyrite window and then reopened it, 
but this time I used the RTTY icon in the top toolbar rather than the 
Windows/RTTY Window menu selection.  Not sure if that made a difference or 
not, but when the Rttyrite window reopened I suddenly was getting 
highlighting of calls.  Most of them I can't hear, but when FW5FF sends a 
call with his exchange that call highlights.

So now that I have highlighting functioning again I can confirm that the 
Insert key works as before.  Press Insert and the call populates the CALL 
field and the exchange is sent, including that call.  Again, this is from a 
window running MMTTY as the TX window, not 2Tone.

Nick,

I'm not sure on this one, but...

Are you using 2Tone for TX as well as RX?  If so I think the Insert key
functionality to send the Call + Exchange may only work correctly in a MMTTY
window.  I can't prove it at the moment as my MMTTY window under V12 has
stopped highlighting calls in the MMTTY window.  Without the highlighting
the Insert key won't function at all!  Both my 2Tone clone windows will
highlight calls and I can populate the CALL field with a left mouse click,
but then must use the Enter key to send the Call + exchange.  Also this
morning with the "Minor Radio Blackout" conditions I am unable to hear any
RTTY signals so I can't play around with making changes to see if they work.

You might try opening up a MMTTY window and use that as your TX window
instead of 2Tone to see if the Insert key functionality returns or not.

Gary, this is the situation:

When is it you are pressing the Insert key?  Is is to capture a highlighted
call from the Rttyrite window, populate the CALL field and then send your
exchange? YES

I am using 2Tone and it is highlighting the call sign, but insert will sent
the exchange but will not put the call in the window, thus no callsign is
sent.
Very confusing and frustrating.

Thanks Gary hope we can get this corrected.
