The critical place to look is to make sure that COMM PTT is set
to NO on the ports screen.  Hardware PTT: "All Mode PTT on RTS",
PTT on the FSK Port in RTTY (2Tone, MMTTY, and RTTYrite), etc.
are all parallel contact closures and should not be an issue.

I am using FSK keyed through two serial ports.  I am using the W5XD MK1100
keyer for the audio switching.  PTT is set to none. Not sure how PTT is set
by WL when using FSK.

I am running 2Tone as the primary decoder. But, I have seen this same issue
with both 2Tone and WL's Rttyrite.

It may be due to multiple sources of PTT ... what are you using for PTT,
what interface and what kind of SO2R switch (if any for RTTY)?

FSK or AFSK?

Happens when you switch between the two radios. I think it is just a
bug from the software still thinking it is transmitting the buffer,
even though the PTT has released and we are in receive.

I sometimes hit the escape key to stop transmission and that gets it
back in the receiving mode.  Of course, it also kills the transmit
buffer I was sending for real.

Had a similar issue this weekend during cqww. I am running so2r with
2*ft950's - when I would interrupt a running message on say rig 1 -
by starting a message on rig 2; the message on rig 1 would continue
but the
rig1 would stop tx. So mmtty is "stuck" in transmit until the buffer
is finished and therefore misses the first part of the other
station's transmission on that frequency.

I am 100% sure this was not happening before. I figure its some kind
of config issue but I follow the rttycontesting.com or uHam example
settings faithfully so I have no idea where to start.

Maybe I never noticed before (in recent times) because I wasn't
really fully doing SO2R operations. This contest was the first real
SO2R in several years as I was rebuilding and it was easier to go
with single rig contesting with all the changes around me.

Hope someone has a solution.

Help



I experienced an issue with timed CQ and trying to cancel using the
ESC key.
This is what happens.  I can cancel the CQ shortly after initiating
a timed CQ using the ESC key.  However, if I am doing a timed CQ for
2-3 minutes or so, I cannot cancel the CQ using the ESC key. The
quick way to stop the CQ is to toggle the focus to the other rig.



I have two rigs connected but I was not operating SO2R.



Issue with Bandmap has to do with what appears to be a WL slow
response with the bandmap update anytime I am tuning up/down the
bands.  Is there any way to improve(reduce)bandmap update response
time?







Any ideas?



Thanks



Mike
