Thanks Andy. I tried different delay settings but they did not solve the problem. But I do now have a Microham MKII I need to install that I am sure will solve any related issues. On the otherhand....simply not setting up PTT in MM fixed the problem too. This also may have been related to using MM with a Parallels interface on a 3.0G iMac.
