I just swapped out interfaces and put in an FSKit with MMTTY on transmit
and receive, and removed all the dashes.  The clone window prints "05 ny
ny" OK, with and without the USOS button pushed, and I get no requests for
repeats.  Back to Tinyfsk/2Tone on transmit again i see "05 ny ny" misprint
in the MMTTY clone--if the USOS is not pushed-- and some stations request
repeats.  As it stands, with Tinyfsk /2Tone I need dashes in the macros to
avoid a lot of repeats.
