RE: [WriteLog] SO2R A/B ASSERTIONAha - Thanks Tom. For as many times as =
I've gone through the INI file info, that's one I wasn't aware of. =
Fantastic! Many interesting responses to this!

  Larry -=20

  The polarity of the A/B bit is settable in the writelog.ini file.  The =
keyword is LPTABSENSE and it can be set to one or zero.  It will allow =
you to set whether radio A is bit 14 high or bit 14 low.  Similarly, =
there is a LptPTTSense for the PTT bit.

  Have fun=20

  Hi Bob, delighted to hear from you. What I was really wondering was if =
there=20
  were somewhere in the software that allowed the linkage between pin 14 =
state=20
  and left or right to be reversed. My guess is there is not.=20

  Having said that, the next solution is to use a transistor buffer to =
reverse=20
  the state just as you suggested. For something that's my own little=20
  idiosyncrasy I'll certainly take that approach rather than suggesting =
yet=20
  another s/w change!=20

  Thanks & 73 de Larry K7SV=20

  I may be missing something in what you are wanting to do here!  The =
way I=20
  see it, you just need to invert pin 14 state using a transistor buffer =
so=20
  that when pin 14 is true your relay is not energised.=20
