Jason, As far as I know, there is no 15 minute timer in Writelog for Field Day. That would be a nice feature, though... I wouldn't recommend changing the band setup, even if you aren't going to work
If Wayne can't get the fix out in time, don't network the GOTA station with your other stations and merge the logs later. As long as the bug is fixed before you have to submit the logs, the merge wil
We had no problems networking a Win98 and Win2K machine. All we had to do was set the workgroup name the same and create identical logon accounts on both machines. For some reason the Win98 computer
Microsoft does have a version of msconfig that runs under Windows 2000. It's not shipped with the OS, however, and is probably unsupported. 73, Dick WC1M
Sam, Hold down the SHIFT key and press either UP-ARROW or DOWN-ARROW. This will transfer the "keyboard focus" to the mult radio, leaving the "transmit focus" on the run radio. This will allow you to
I had an idea for a new Writelog feature, but I'm not sure whether there would be enough other users who need it: I often want to swap the frequencies of my two rigs. This typically happens because o
I think it may be possible for a bad combination of software and cable/device to burn out a parallel port. For example, if the UserPort software happens to hold a particular parallel port output sign
I use a keyboard macro program to assign that sequence to a single keystroke. You can do a Google and find many shareware/freeware keyboard macro programs. Mine's called "keyboard remapper".
Eric, AcomTools worked on my Win98 and W2K machines, but doesn't seem to work on my new WinXP machine. FWIW, even when I had it working under W2K I eventually disabled the automatic tuning feature. A
Wayne and Ron: The "Start in:" folder is often used by programs to find their own parameter files and dlls. I think it would be better if WL used the DATAFILES parameter in the ini file to set the de
I keep forgetting to report this minor annoyance: The Recently Used area in the startup dialog box does not have enough room for typical pathnames under NT, W2K or XP. I keep my contest files under a
Ed, Thanks. That might be OK for the old Windows 95 or Windows 98 (or DOS), but NT-based systems keep all user account data in Documents and Settings, and many built-in functions and commercial appli
Has anyone tried this yet? It works really well for ARRL SS, CQ WW and CQ WPX, but in IARU it puts the zone in the callsign field and in ARRL DX SSB it puts the power in the callsign field. 73, Dick
I ran into this problem with the Entrega 4-port USB serial device back when beta testing the W5XD+ keyer. The problem is that the keyer protocol is implemented by switching several RS-232 signals on
I use Win2K and it has always worked well with Writelog. I've got 30 years in the business, too, but that doesn't stop me from wasting incredible amounts of time troubleshooting Windows incompatibili
Steve, Very slow. I went back to the e-mail archive of my interaction with Wayne on this during beta test and it looks like each 10-bit command takes about two seconds to execute -- way too slow for
What kind of radio are you running? In the ports menu, set COM PTT to No and under CW PTT, set to "None" (i.e., if you have enabled PTT via the rig control port, turn it off.) 73, Dick WC1M
Clive, Few things are as frustrating as Windows networking problems! I've had the symptoms you describe, but mainly when trying to connect copies of WL running under different operating systems. Big
