Which version of Rigblaster do you have?

Are you also using the RigBlaster for CW and (all mode) PTT?

What port are you using for transceiver control (CAT) and what
port are you using for FSK?

Are you using "real" RS-232 ports or USB to RS-232 converters?

Is MMTTY configured to use a COM port for the PTT & FSK port
(TX Tab) or are you using EXTFSK?

Is MMTTY configured for radio control when it is run in stand
alone mode?

Are you using the same installation of MMTTY when you run in
stand alone mode as when you use it with WriteLog?

73,

    ... Joe, W4TV
