OK, that tells me that PTT is via the separate cable.  Now,
please tell me exactly what the connections are in that
cable.

What controls that cable?  Is it connected to a serial port
or is it connected to a USB port on the computer side?  What
port number?

Where does it connect on the rig?  What are the pin assignments
in the cable?

Does that cable carry the rig control data?

That's a fairly clear indication that WriteLog is using the TX1;
command (or TX;) for general PTT.  Which means it is not selecting
the correct audio input (ACC jack) for AFSK.

Are you using rig control in the stand-alone MMTTY (assigning a port
for "Radio Command" - Option | Setup | Tx |Radio Command)?  If so
what does the TX box say?

Given that MMTTY standalone works properly and MMTTY works properly
in Logger32, I would expect they are using TX2; for AFSK.  However,
that is only an assumption based on behavior of the Kenwood 480,
590 and 2000.

What radio have you selected (Rig Type) in WriteLog's Port Set-up?
Are you using Kenwood, Kenwood TS-2000 or Kenwood TS-850?

If the TS-990 radio control is via USB, it is probably using the TX1;
command - particularly if COMM PTT = YES - which is equivalent to the
microphone PTT.  The microphone PTT mutes the data (ACC) input and can
be responsible for the "no audio".

Try unplugging the separate PTT cable and see if you don't still have
PTT.  If so, it can only be the TX1; command.

Response:

When I unplug the separate PTT cable, PTT stops working.

Since you are using XMMT.ocx, set the Rttyrite Port to *None* and
click "Option | Setup" in the RTTY control Panel.  Now select the TX
Tab and set the PTT & FSK port to the port to which your PTT interface
(the Donner?) is connected.  Make sure Tx Port on the Misc tab is set
to Sound (for AFSK) and the "PTT & FSK" port will bee used only for
PTT (on both DTR and RTS).

Response:

I have already done all of those things.

If I do that, PTT stops working.

Appreciate your responses, Joe.

Question:

Given my setup, how is it that MMTTY standalone works properly but
RttyRite in Writelog won't cause the radio to produce RF output?
