I just noticed something similar, with Windows/XP and WriteLog, yesterday, when I finally changed from LPT to COM keying (still had RFI lockups with amplifier on and LPT keying). At the boot up of th
With ICOM756PROII, whenever the Sub-Receiver is Active, the wrong frequency is logged by WriteLog 10.40J, in both the Transmit and Receive Frequencys. The Sub Receiver Frequency, instead of the actua
This is an update to my April 5 posting of this same subject. When I reported to Dell Technical Support on that Saturday that the machine would not power up at all, instead of getting an expected RMA
George, W1ZT provided me with some very interesting facts about LPT ports: "The parallel port runs on 5 volts, but at the high logic level, it is only intended to source about 1-2 mA with the origina
I had installed 10.40j on a ThinkPad 755CD running Windows 98, with Com 1 controlling the Icom 775 and LPT1 keying circuit, and Telnet over my Lan for a Packet connection. All has been working just f
Using WriteLog 10.26B under Win98 on (old) IBM 755CD ThinkPad, when I attempt to open the Packet Window I get "Can't Create Packet OLE Automation Object" message from WriteLog. I found reference to C
Earlier postings on this subject appear to have been implemented in WriteLog 10.42. Typing a Grid Square locator in the CALL provides bearing and distance. So it's available in all contests, not just

With regard to RFI in Networking: I found it took four snap-on ferrites on the LAN cable to eliminate rfi into my IBM Notebook, and the LAN cable was the sole source of the rfi - no rfi with all of t
I'm willing to wager that you have an rfi problem. Or at least that's been my explanation for them. I see the same problem sporadically, but less frequently now that I've minimized a lot of my old rf
I completely disagree with your claim: "The ferrite chokes ARE a good idea, but not necessarily on the network cables. For HF, you need a lot of turns around one of the bigger toroids commonly used f
Create a WL file with one QSO for that contest, then create the Cabrillo file. Look at the cabrillo file format. Use Wordpad or an editor to add your QSOs. Barry W5GN ________________________________
It'd just be bells and whistles on a fine product, but how about an option to use the HOME key as an alias for CTRL-P, to take you back to the Entry Window? HOME is a single key, and is on the right,

I don't have your problem: I can enter any band's frequency in the Call Window, and command the radio to that frequency. I can Click on any spot and command the radio to that frequency. BUT MY PROBLE
I think I've gotten to to bottom of the problems I encountered with rig control, internal keyer, etc, using WriteLog 10.47E and Orion 1.370 Update with Windows XP on the Dell Inspiron: 1. When the CW
1. RFI can cause some keying problems; did you try without an amp? 2. I recall some reports of problems with USB to Serial for certain manufacturers, that they were too slow for either rig control or
It all depends: I successfully used a Belkin FSU103 USB to Serial with Win/XP (after downloading their updated drive for XP) to control both an ICOM756PROII and Orion, without failure, although a fre
I thank you, and even more, my rotator thanks you, for the new sort by azimuth option in the Packet Spots window. Not only will it save wear and tear, but also because a new spots slips in by its azm
