Apologies to the list. The message quoted below was meant just for N6TV. [I have BCCed the author of RUMlogNG.] By way of explanation, After my last post on this thread, I got a telephone call from TV Bob, N5TV. We discussed the problem and narrowed it down quite a bit. We assume that

I thought that the suggestion to include WinKey and FSK hardware was a good one. It would be nice to plug directly in instead of needing additional peripherals. There already is an internal keyer in most newer transceivers so business was taken away from the many external keyer

I don't think the logging software is the problem. Since the KY command works for both CW and RTTY, I tried an experiment: I switched the mode using the K3's front panel from Data to CW and the problem did not occur. (I listened to the monitor output.) The UI for the program still showed RTTY,

My intent was not to emulate the exact H/W and its problems, but the APIs used (eg, programs using TinyFSK send [ , then text and ] to end the TX). I know TinyFSK has issues. But I was not intending that Elecraft copy the problems. I just wanted something similar to what TinyFSK does ( send

Personally, I'd like to see the K4 support something like the TinyFSK protocol for doing RTTY. It could present multiple serial ports. one for CAT, one for FSK and one for Keying. The FSK could emulate tinyFSK and the keyer could emulate the K1EL keyers. That way programs don't need to

Bill, Before it can be "fixed" in the K4, the logging software has to be fixed to send the proper KY command. If it is sending KY*somes-string*;, then the messages are not going to be chained. If it is sending KYW *some-string*;, then the messages should be properly chained, perhaps with a very

I'm getting ready for NAQP RTTY today, and I am reminded of an old bug using the KY CAT command to send RTTY text. I am using RUMlogNG on my MacBook Pro in contest mode which uses the CAT interface to send and receive RTTY. (It also uses CAT with CW.) If I try to chain output, e.g. press the
