Hi Duane,
Also, make sure you are updated to the latest version of WriteLog as well?
There have been recent changes to both the DXP38 firmware and WriteLog.
WriteLog uses a different set of commands than DXPWin (and probably XPWare)
which uses a KOS mode. WriteLog controls TX and RX more closely. Also, be
sure all of your macros end in %E "Return to receive mode."
If you missed the other post... There is new firmware with the DOS software
on the HAL website at www.halcomm.com.
Thanks,
Joe KB9SIZ
RR was a blast!
