[LCC] RTTY Roundup K5ER Single Op LP

[Art (K5FNQ)]

Roland - I got N1MM+ to finally work right - but then the bad weather, 
football games, basketball game and other matters killed my RTTY RU test 
time.
Anyway what are you running.  I might be able to give some help
My final solution was to copy the .ini file from N1MM basic and then 
reenter some information.
