First off, Joe and team thank you for this great software.  Also to Don for
confirming what I saw here.  I can only assume that I have something set
incorrectly but it's actually rather simple to go from normal mode to RTTY
RU mode.

> I'm using V2.0 rc-2.  I have used this version to make contacts with no
contest selected so I know it is working properly. I cloned my normal
operating configuration and renamed the clone to RTTY RU.  When setting up
for the ARRL RTTY Roundup I have that ticked and have entered MDC in the
Exch: box.  I have "FT8 message types" *Always generate* and *Decode only
77-bit messages* ticked.  Everything else is the same except I cleared all
default frequencies and added only 7.078 and 14.078.

As soon as I click on OK the messages are converted to RTTY RU  mode.
e.g.  AA5AU W3DLQ 539 MDC and Tx2.0 RTTY is highlighted in a red box on the
main screen.  This also works when I enter a callsign in the DX Call box
and click "Generate Std Msgs"  When I clicked on a CQ message the messages
are changed to that caller.

When I clicked on a CQ in the Band Activity window, the messages changed,
and TX started.  However, in the Rx Frequency window my messages are
truncated to *AA5AU W3DLQ 5.*  This also shows in the last message sent TX
box.

This occurs if either I send a CQ and the program answers and sends the
response message, I click on a CQ message or I click on a message sent to
me.  In the exchange with AA5AU I clicked on his call to me.

I also clicked on a call *CQ RU K9OM EN65.*  My response TX to him was*
K9OM W3DLQ 55.*

In summary, any TX I make is truncated.  I think I'm set up correctly or
there is something strange in my set up which is Windows 10 with a
FLEX-6500.  I was running two slices last evening, one for 20M and the
other for 40M.  Nothing on 20M but many on 40M were decoded.

Looked like fun but after I saw what was happening when I transmitted I
stopped participating.  I didn't want to get flamed for not reading the
FTM, not following Joe's directions for setting up the program or other
smarta$$ comments.  Comments like Don's are appreciated.  He made no
accusations and merely stated the facts.
