[WriteLog] WriteLog will not send RTTY

[Scot Herrick]

Frank’s answer here is what the problem was. I’m old school and when you want to send RTTY on the radio, you put it in RTTY mode. But, no.

For AFSK with a sound card, number 4 below is the answer - do NOT use RTTY mode, but leave he radio in USB-D mode and all is two-tone RTTY well. 

Next, I’ll get FSK going (with a different interface).

Thanks to Frank, N8WXQ, and to the others that replied.

The RigExpert is relatively dumb as it just acts as a sound card with cables going into the CI-V port, Accessory DIN plug on the back of the radio, and into the CW keyer port on the radio. There is also nothing on the RigExpert site except the device supports RTTY. And it sends FT8 and CW just fine.
