[Dx4win] RTTY F KEYS AND COM PORT

[Kostas SV1DPI]

I don't know if it helps but i will describe my setup that works fb with 
dx4win and mmtty as with writelog also...
rig is a yaesu ft1000 mark v running AFSK for rtty
com 1
pin 2, pin3, pin5   to cat control of mark v for rig control
pin 4, pin 5 cw keying via a simple 2n2222 interface (dtr)
pin 7, pin 5 ptt keying via a simple 2n2222 interface (rts)

Under file>preferences
radio  tab > ft1000mp and port :com1
control tab > DTR line cwkeying    and RTS line PTT keying
rtty tab > be sure that tnc type is to none and the last line writes the 
mmtty path
open the mmtty and do right click or alt+s for keying setup
and choose PTT keying

Only 1 com is needed
