I think the CONFIG:PTT-KEY option may be a bit confusing for some - you
need to look at it as an overlay, so if you have it set to "rts-dtr"
(which is what I'd recommend, if you're going with COM-port keying -
it seems to be compatible with most software I've tried), it means:
PTT-KEY

rts-dtr
So RTS is PTT and DTR is KEY. Configure your software to match.
