I am a very new (one week) user of Writelog.
I have most of the basic things working including packet spots but am having
difficult getting the connection to my PK 232 MBX working.
Currently I use Logic5 software and a Pentium III as follows...
COM 1 to MFJ TU for packet cluster info
COM 2 controls ICOM 756 PRO
COM 3 to PK 232 for RTTY
LPT 1 printer
LPT 2 CW
This setup works fine.
I now have purchased Writelog for contest activities and want to use the
same COM ports as for the Logic5 program so I can change back and forth
between programs. I know that I can only have one program running at a time.
Therefore, I have programmed the WriteLog COMM ports as follows...
COM 1 works fine with the MFJ TU
COM 2 works fine with the ICOM 756 PRO
However, I can't get any response from the PK 232 using COM 3.
Here is what I have done so far...
opened up the WriteLog.ini file in the Windows system directory and
changed the parameters for COM 3 to 1200,e,7,1,x which is what Logic5 uses
with the PK 232
selected COM 3 on the RTTY window
selected the PK 232 option on the TU menu. This brings up an
'Initialization' screen which goes away after a few seconds
I get absolutely no response from the PK 232 - ie no 'power on' message, etc
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong or
overlooking?
