[WT-support] COM port PTT for MMTY

[Gordon Hardman]

Bob,

Yes, EXTFSK is in the MMTY directory.

It keys just fine from MMTY when WT is not running.

I think :-D  I followed the instructions from Getting Started correctly.

If I totally disable the COM port in WT, it keys okay from WT. But then 
WT does not follow my QRG. Also, I cannot change bands from WT.  Must 
have something fundamental wrong.
