John, I'm 64 years old. I probably don't have 'several decades' left before Microsoft gets Vista and/or its successors operating properly! Besides, what ever happened to the concept of delivering the
Since you are operating from your home QTH in the states you only work DX, no other states or provinces. The RCV field is where you enter the signal report you receive from a DX station. The PWR fiel
Hi Dale, Welcome to WriteLog and the reflector! I think you'll find both to be a lot of fun. Here are a few things to try in response to your questions. Band Map - To change colors of the calls in th
I'm not sure Bill. I printed out Scot's manual a few years ago and still refer to it from time to time. I know he has done of lot of updating on the web pages, but I don't see a link to print out the
In reading the mail going across the SMC reflector, the consensus seems to be that you send in what you copied. Assuming that WL let you enter alpha characters in the PWR field of the exchange, just
I continue to fumble about in the Vista universe trying to figure out what the heck is going on with the way it handles various WL files. About a week ago I posted a complaint that after doing a web
The F12 cannot be configured by the user. WL uses this key to return the rig to a previous operating frequency. For example, you are running SO1R and calling CQ on 14.155. You notice a spot come in f
Well, I'll be... I never noticed the F12 key in the Keyboard Shortcuts section before. I stand corrected. Thanks Jamie. One other thing about my earlier comment on the F12 key not working if you manu
I'm not sure if it's possible to do what you are trying to do - use F12 for CW or SSB messages, but you can experiment. Go to Tools/Keyboard Shortcuts... Scroll down the list of keys until you see "F
Wayne, OK, ya got me! I forgot that our neighbors in VE land don't have States eh! I know well to keep clear of the grizzlies, but do you know how to tell the difference between a black bear and a br
Jamie, Apparently I am confused too. You state that "F12 can be used for messages or commands..." I agree that F12, or any key for that matter, can be programmed to play a message or command. BUT, ar
I'm still gradually making the transition from XP to Vista. I just went to the download site for MMTTY and found the message that the program is not "officially" supported under Vista. It also mentio
I'm using my new Dell laptop with Vista in the ARRL DX contest and am experiencing a noticeable lag from the time I press an F key and the when the audio file starts playing. It seems like it's almos
Yes, that's the sequence. First the transmitter keys and then the delay and then the audio starts. I created my audio files with Audacity and have trimmed both front and back ends to eliminate spaces
Hi Don, No real major problems under Vista, just some new stuff to get used to! Be sure to create an administrator account for installing. I also run all my ham related stuff as the administrator. On
Rick, Don't be so quick to pull the plug on WL. It is a great program, just takes time to get up the learning curve. I've never used LPT1 for keying, always gone through a comm port and now a USB to
OK Pete, it looks like I erred on the type in a space instruction. I just imported my pathetic log from this weekends ARRL DX contest. In the Power field I clicked on the first blank field, from the
WriteLog only "recognizes" comports 1 through 4. It can work with up to 15 different comports, but only 4 at any time. You need to make an entry in your writelog.ini file, in the [PORTS] section to d
