Steve, I'm an avid (rabid?) rtty dxer/contester. I use both WinWarbler and Writelog. Both use the MMTTY engine to decode. VAC 4.08 (I think)
There should be NO latency, at least I have none. And the 'Tune' button use 'Latency' issue seems to be fixed. I get instananeous response, I click on the appropriate button or F key in WW or WLog, and my 5K responds immeadately, as did the 1K. I also use VAC in CW contesting with WL, no delay of any sort there either.
