[Dx4win] RTTY-related Question

[Howard Dickson]

Good afternoon.  I have a RTTY-related request for help.

I normally only use RTTY in contests and use N1MM as my logging 
software, and I never use the spotting cluster in RTTY contests.  That 
having been said, this past two weeks I have been desperately trying to 
work K5D on as many bands and modes as possible.  My problem is this.

When I click on a spot in DX4Win, my rig (Kenwood TS-850s) moves to the 
correct frequency (no problem) but, the rig gets set to FSK mode instead 
of LSB, which is required for RTTY when using sound-card technology to 
generate the code.  In FSK mode I can copy the other station's 
transmission just fine, but, when I try to transmit myself, the rig does 
not get keyed and so no characters are sent.  Now, if I switch my rig to 
LSB I find that I must shift a few hundred kHz in order to find that 
signal again (a major problem when there are many stations on the band 
in the immediate area) and in so doing, DX4Win sets the mode in the 
program for this QSO to SSB instead of RTTY.

My question is this - is there any way within DX4Win (Preferences 
Section) to direct MTTY key the radio, even though it is in FSK mode?  
Or, is there some other solution, like directing the radio to go to LSB 
instead of FSK mode when a station working RTTY is spotted?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
