Never tried that before, but did after seeing your question. I use COM2 for RTTY and so set up COM2 for CW as you have. With no MMTTY window open, I can send CW just fine from the window. If I then open the DX4WIN MMTTY window, MMTTY will not key the COM2 interface under any conditions - using the TX key in MMTTY or any of the message buffers. As you said, the CW window doesn't have to be open at the time for this to be a problem. I also have to set the CW port to NONE in order for MMTTY to work properly on the same COM port.
I just recently upgraded to DX4WIN 7.01 to check out the MMTTY implementation. I was disappointed to see that the macro buttons that normally appear at the left of the signal displays is not present when using MMTTY from within DX4WIN. Guess that's a casualty of the way MMTTY implemented the interface. 73, K8AC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Zalewski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "REFLECTOR dx4win" <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 11:02 AM Subject: [Dx4win] RTTY F KEYS AND COM PORT Question 1- My F keys will not send the message but I can send from keyboard Question 2- (Maybe related to #1)When I key an F key I get a message "An exception occured- Device already open". I have the keying for RTTY on Com2. I used to also have the keying for CW on Com2 but found that won't work even if I only have one of the windows open at a time. So now if I want RTTY I have to set CW to Comm- None. -- Tnx es 73 Dick W7ZR www.w7zr.com _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
