Well Gentlemen,
Thank you for your input; I seem to have learned a valuable lesson in how to
make a very simple thing overly complex - thank you - I now have PTT & FSK
operating again. I have also now (the main reason for the upgrade) got MMTTY
or 2Tone working as the decoder.
Here's what I would like to do with Writelog and my FT5K:
* 2 decoders (one MMTTY and one 2Tone) on the main receiver
* A third decoder on the sub-receiver
I guess this is S02V operation.
Is there anything I can read on-line to explain how to set up two separate
decoders at the same time and then any pointers for the second receiver
config?
Thanks again,
Mark.

That's right. Known bug with MMTTY Plug-in and XMMT coexistence in WriteLog
11.10G. Work-around is to remove the MMTTY Plug-in.

You can only set the COM port in either the Rttyrite Port menu or the MMTTY
Options/Setup/TX window. Trying to set a COM port in both will elicit the
error message above.
Setting the COM port in the Rttyrite Port menu uses WriteLog's WinRtty
encoder. By default, WinRtty uses "Hardware generated FSK" and that will be
checked at the bottom of the Rttyrite Port menu. You can choose "Software
generated FSK" instead, especially if hardware FSK doesn't work well for
you.
Setting the Rttyrite Port menu to "None" and then setting the COM port in
the MMTTY Options/Setup/TX window will use MMTTY's FSK facility instead of
WriteLog's WinRtty FSK.
