I think I tried this.  I deleted the present wave files and recorded again using shift+F# key.  File was created.  If I recall (I'm at work and will check when I get home) the file would play over windows medial player, but nothing happens when pressing WT F1 key.  Strangley enough, there was one file in there for F3 that would work fine with WT.

Is there a specific format for the wav file?  And... is there an SSB msg set up screen that you have to associate a particular wave file with an F key?  Or is that automatic.....F1=msg1.wav and so on?  I did not notice a Vu meter in the windows menu....I will look again.  Going to try to leave work a couple hours early to get this worked out.  Will be home about 2130 UTC if I can swing it.

Dont think its an audio config issue with MK as one of the older wav files that was in the folder did work.  I have MK audio directing ouput for all 3 PTT options on option C, directing audio to the audio goes thru the mic, to the computer and out to the mic line to the rig, which then goes to a DX Doubler box.

I tried various options.  Sometimes it worked, other times it did not.  using 9600, 8N1. Should I leave handshaking on and use the LPT going to the DX Doubler for the PTT line and config that in the LPT window?
