[WT-support] MMTTY Initialization not happening with Alt+K

[Jay]

HI Bob

Its not an issue in  real life but when I wanted to do test run with a local (keyboard to keyboard) to prep for an expedition I hit ALT+K and it just there....now I was really puzzled. 

It worked before so I had to figure what in the world changed...bit it was the sequencing that was important

So I stepped back and realized I had dumped F messages in working some DX this morning and the program was running all day...thus the ALT+K was already enabled for whatever reason. 

MMTTY is launched by WinTest when it starts.

  Sounds like you did everything right.


  Just guess:  maybe Win-Test has to first establish proper communication with MMTTY (which is a separate program) before things start to work, and it only does that initialization logic when you issue a message via F1, F2, INSERT, etc., rather than Alt+K.


  It seems like this issue won't cause any problems since you have a work-around.  In RTTY contests, you would almost always press F1 or F4 to start your first QSO, not Alt+K, right?

    When using MMTTY and EXTFSK to run a K3 in RTTY (AFSK) mode, (EXTFSK only doing a hardware control of the PTT), I then select RTTY (radio 1) in Wintest to get ready to operate. 

    The ALT+K (Xmit and keyboarding a message) does not work until I depress an F1 or F2 canned message, K3 goes into XMIT and send the message and returns to RX.

    After I exercise any shortcut  F message, example ALT+K always works

    Am I missing some setting?
