It's been at least ten years since I transmitted with RiTTY. I only use it as a
second RX here now, so I'm sorry but I can't answer your question. Can you get
it working both shifts when receiving only?
I'm curious about the problem you're having with the repetition integration
function. Do you mean it is getting callsigns wrong too often? That always works
well for me, in fact it is one of my favorite functions. It is not 100% correct
always, but often enough to be useful.
