For the CW connection between the keyer and an FT-1000, you want to use a mono cable rather than stereo if you use a store-bought cable. The keyer outputs are isolated from ground on a stereo jack. I
I confirm that the ML column in the log shows the wrong number, as does the M column. The good news is that WL is counting the multipliers correctly--it knows you have worked 6 counties, and knows w
Normally Ron announces these, but he is out of pocket this week. Version 10.35E is ready for download at http://www.writelog.com/downloads.htm Description of the new features: http://www.writelog.com
Editing the CALL field is broken in 10.35E, and not just for VHF contests. There is now a patch at: http://www.writelog.com/Downloads/wl1035Fpatch.zip Wayne
A request: It would be very helpful to me if a larger percentage of the posts on writelog@conteseting.com had something to do with WriteLog. I have limited time to read through much of anything, and
Here is a module for SARTG that can do Cabrillo. It is still in beta test, which means I have no confirmation from any testers that it successfully generates a valid Cabrillo file. http://www.writelo
This won't fix the width of the field, but it will fix the overwrite of the county: http://www.writelog.com/Downloads/txqp1036.zip Unzip into your \programs directory Wayne
I would love to claim credit for "incredible service". But fixing a problem of one's own making would only rate as "expected" or "average" by my standards. Thanks, Wayne
Its a good idea on XP systems to rename (or delete) FPORT16.EXE. It attempts to read the BIOS settings for LPT addresses in a way that only works on Windows 95/98. Otherwise it fails to read appropri
This is correct. And I can add another simplifying hint: if you use a mono cable for the CW as opposed to the stereo, then there is no RING connection--the mono connector in the keyer's stereo jack w
Everyone operating WAE this year should run the new WriteLog version 10.34 because of the rule change regarding multipliers for call areas in several countries. Also in 10.34, the WAE module can crea
We are working on a firmware upgrade that will enable the menu entry "Radio Tune" for the multi keyer. We will announce it on the writelog reflector when it is ready. Installing it will require openi
I recommend you go backwards a version by deleting the contents of WriteLog's \programs directory, and then re-install the newest FULL download you have, followed by the newest UPGRADE download you h
Yes, not running FPORT16.EXE is a good idea on XP, Windows 2000, and Windows NT. As of WriteLog version 10.34, FPORT16.EXE is never run automatically, so its no longer necessary to delete or rename t
I confirm that networking is broken in 10.34 for the WAE contest (and any other contest that has a column set to the maximum width of 28 characters, but I doubt there are any). There is a patch at: h
The cabrillo file generated by WL 10.34 does not correctly fill out the sent serial number column for sent QTCs for single digit serial numbers with a leading "TT". This patch fixes that formatting p
The Multi-keyer does "work" on some USB connected serial ports. (I have tested with the USB to dual RS-232 from www.byterunner.com). I have to put "work" in quotes because there are a couple of defi
I would like to add that there is a subtle difference important to contesters between the future of LPT ports and the future of COM ports in Windows. You can buy USB to LPT port adapters and you can
