Bob, I found that you can only use hamlib one instance at a time.  As
for TLF once I set the rig control parameters in the config file it
worked just fine. It also works fine with Xlog, but in Gmfsk it is
exactly 1 kc off. In Xlog I used settings>preferences>band/mode and set
mine to cw, rtty, psk and that seems to log it correctly. I have had the
same results using libranet 2.8.1 and now version 3.

I was hoping someone knew a way to get the serial generator from tlf or
xlog into gmfsk and be able to use it in a macro.  Sure would be better
than trying to remember the last number and all the extra typing.
