[WT-support] support Digest, Vol 45, Issue 4

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Make sure your FTX-1 is in "VFO mode" not "Memory Mode" or "Memory Tune
Mode" (see manual).

VFO A should be highlighted in yellow in the Win-Test Band Map.

Does VFO B (SUB) track?

The second COM port supports FSK  RTTY, CW, and PTT keying via DTR and RTS

73,
