Has anyone tried using a 4N35 in place of the 4N33's in any of the keying circuits? Looks like the only difference is a single transistor output in the 35 vs. darlington in the 33. I saved a number o
Been using Tardis for about two years now. Great product for cheap money. Mike, W1NR http://www.kaska.demon.co.uk/ I've found a neat little shareware product called Tardis. Of course it gets the time
Does the 950 have a "Power on function" menu like the 850? (on the 850 you access it by holding the LSB/USB button in while turning on hte power) There is a selection which tells the radio what groun
I have just finished bread boarding a keying circuit using a 4N35 in place of the 4N33. Works just fine keying up the TS-850S CW off of the COMM port. I needed to change the series resistor to the LE
It looks like more than just one type of radio does not work in split any more. My 850S will set the second VFO to the correct frequency, but does not go into the split mode with WL10.20B. Haven't go
I am trying to get an old Tono 777 TNC working with WriteLog, but have a major issue. I have no way to generate an <ESC>, <CTRL-[>, ^[...a simple escape character to the TNC from WriteLog. It causes
In my limited testing of the PK232 with WriteLog and a Kenwood TS-850S, turning off ALL of the PTT options and running "QSK" or VOX mode seems to avoid that issue. The Pakratt has a PTT of it's own a
Well, I spoke too soon. It appears that PK-232 CW keying is very broken. If you try to "stack" memories (hit function keys while a message is sending) or use the keyboard and type ahead it stops at r
In the manual under Network Operations, there is a line that states "Be sure that NetBEUI is installed." Is that REALLY an absolute requirement? Isn't TCP/IP sufficient? Thanks, Mike, W1NR -- WWW: ht
Thanks to all for the info. I really don't want NetBEUI on my network. If WriteLog networking works properly with just TCP/IP, then that's all I'll have enabled. Internet is firewalled with a NAT/DSL
Don't copy the .ini or log files. You need to set them up on each system manually. I have corrupted many an installation by doing just that. You may also have to re-install WriteLog on all of the mac
Your mailer may be screwing it up. Try to cut and paste the log as text into a mail message and send it that way instead of an attachment. If that fails, be sure that the log file has a header with t
On another note, the serial controller chip needs to support 5 bit data on the TxD line for FSK to work in Baudot mode. Some of the newest chips have dropped 5 bit support. Mike, W1NR Not true, FSK i
I don't think WriteLog has any kind of spot filtering that is selectable. You need to set up filters on the cluster node to eliminate the excess chatter. For a DXSpider node, US station ARRL DX CW it
Don't forget RF interference too. I cannot use AFSK or a sound card voice keyer on 80M for some reason...Too much RF getting into the audio line. Still working out filters. Guess I'll stick with FSK
Most likely cause is the DSL line getting clobbered with RFI. I moved my DSL modem and packet cluster node to the other side of the basement from the station and used shielded cables, good grounds an
The same thing happens with the 850 and 950. It goes into split properly on the 940, however. It appears that there is a slight difference in the command protocol between the older 940 and the later
Many Dell laptops use the parallel port for floppy and CD rom drives with special cables and, I assume, a special LPT port driver. If you replace the LPT port driver on one of these, bad things happe
What kind of interface are you using? Is it a cable or genuine Kenwood IF box? The cables need to be powered from the COM port and it might not have enough juice to run it. Are there special drivers
Try the following... Delete the device using Control Panel->Add/Remove Hardware and do the steps to uninstall the device. There will be a drop down list with the device name. Be sure you uninstall th
