Yes, remember MMTTY (and EXTFSK) are separate programs that operate
independently from  Win-Test.  Two programs cannot use the same COM port at
the same time, even if it is a virtual COM port.  Each program requires
exclusive access.

So, let MMTTY/EXTFSK do all the PTT chores for you when you are in RTTY
mode, and let Win-Test use COM7 for PTT when you are in CW mode.
