Just received Writelog and have it up and running, exploring all the features. One odd thing I noticed is that when in RTTY mode, the timing of the "diddles" being sent is erratic. Anyone else notice
That sounds like a good solution. I hadn't operated RTTY with this TS-850, but just noticed that when I switch in the CW filter in SSB mode, the lack of passband tuning on the rig means that the high
I've looked at the generic interface for FSK at the writelog.com site. Can someone with a TS-850 running FSK tell me whether or not the opto-isolator circuit show will key the 850 FSK line, or do I n
Hmmmm..... so I need on port for rig control (currently working), another for the FSK line, and a third for the PTT, or can the FSK and PTT share one port? I need to look in the Writelog help in this
OK - lots of good stuff on your webpage. I guess I'll use transistors to drive the FSK and PTT lines, as shown on the w5bbr page. -- WWW: http://www.writelog.com/ Submissions: writelog@contesting.com
Thanks - someone else steered me to that page as well. Haven't seen transistors drawn that way for a couple of decades! I guess the 3904 is an NPN but will check. this opto-isolator Is Thanks. -- WWW
Looks like initially I'll be using the soundboard for receive and FSK for transmit. It occurred to me that I can let my DSP-599ZX handle the level conversion from the RS-232 to the levels the 850 nee
port to Writelog, or is that necessary? Here's the current Ports section of my Writelog.ini file: [Ports] COM1:=9600,n,8,1,x COM2:=9600,n,8,1,x COM3:=9600,n,8,1,x COM4:=9600,n,8,1,x dvktype=1 dvkport
OK - problem solved. Reviewing everything I did, I discovered that I accidentally set the packet port to COM4, explaining the conflict. When I reset it t COM2 where it should be, I was able to assign
OK - well, whatever works! I'm using a single port, COM4, to drive the PTT line and FSK line. The signals are being converted to the right level by my DSP-599. Based on my previous problems, I can se
Worked a couple hours of the contest this weekend, shaking down Writelog and learning how to use everything effectively. I know that you can clear the QSO entry area by right clicking the mouse there
I used Writelog for the first time this weekend and had a similar problem with the numbers. Before starting the contest, I entered a couple of QSOs and then deleted them. My sequence numbers then wen
I seem to recall that there is a menu item on the 850 which will reverse the FSK for you. Check it out. Maybe the MP also has that option? _______________________________________________ WriteLog mai
Help! I've never used Writelog for an RTTY contest before and am having a problem getting the buffers to work. I'm running 10.41b, have MMTTY installed, and everything is working just fine. I'm very
Windows apparently polls the COM ports at start up time looking for any new devices that might have been added so that the appropriate drivers can be loaded. In this context, think of devices that ne
Yes, you're missing something. This actually happened to me. Everything was turned on - I had been chasing DX - and I left the room for several minutes. While I was gone, we suffered one of the sever
I don't believe so. I'm not sure what that BIOS option does - my Windows plug and play support has always seemed to work whether that was on or off. K8AC _____________________________________________
