It may depend on where the file is stored.  If under \programs(X86) that folder needs 'special' permission for software to write that the writers must include.  When that happens, it's best to install that type of program under \MMTTY which does not have the limitations for writing. Score

I prefer 915 Hz tones, and I ran into the same problem. I learned that there are several things I needed to change. First is to change the HAM default. This will work fine, UNTIL you choose another decoding algorithm, like Flutter, and MMTTY will switch back to 2125 Hz. To really solve this,

I'm not sure why you are using DATA A instead of AFSK A, but ... If you don't want MMTTY to transmit on a different frequency from your receive frequency, turn NET on - in AFSK, that will force the TX to follow the RX. Also, you should tell MMTTY that your preferred frequency is 1275 Hz. To do
