Hello Cy,

I see in my deleted e-mail you have only asked one question on the reflector
this past month. That was to do with the rigblaster pro. At one time I used
the original a RigBlaster and found the documentation very much straight
forward to connect the rig to the computer via the interface. I know that
WriteLog requires nothing extra to talk with the RigBlaster interface I use
to own.

However, WriteLog is a highly configurable programme, it does not make
assumptions as to your hardware. Before you start to set up WL, you should
know what physical ports your rig is connected to via an interface, how you
key the modes of  your choice, the protocol to talk with you rig as well
your personal preferences to display any rig information on the computer
screen. So yes, WriteLog does assume you have some knowledge, that of your
station and configuration. Do not expect WL to be a turnkey programme, it is
not a plug-and-play program. Think of WriteLog as a virtual keyboard
soldering iron that allows you to customize your station needs. 

Now, if after you checked a few web links, checked the achieves and looked
through the help files most of us fellows here will try our best to answer
your questions. There is little doubt the reflector is the best way to get
answers for most problems when the solution is not always obvious.

To start the ball rolling I ask, do you have your rigblaster and rig working
with your daily logging software or digital software like MMTTY?
