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 function key to send my
callsign several times, frequently the first parts of the
chained output are dropped, as shown by the text shown in the
VFO-B display.
This does not occur on CW, so I think the CW to Data conversion
may be involved. The command is defined in the programmer's
Reference as:
KY (CW or CW-to-DATA Keying from Text;
If I chain by using a K3 memory and pressing the M1-4 button
several times, the VFO-B display shows "CHAIN" and things appear
to work correctly.
I will admit, that while I can check what is being sent by
listening to the monitor tones with CW, but I can't quite be
sure about the RTTY.
Will this problem be fixed on the K4?
