I have also been using VE7CC's AR Cluster software and no problem with
Writelog. The only issue, and it's nothing to do with the VE7CC software,
is that Writelog opens the packet terminal under the Writelog window so
you have to minimize Writelog or hit ALT TAB to get at it. It doesn't
show as a running app below so this fools a lot of the operators not
familiar with Writelog's idiosyncrasies. I wish that the Writelog terminal
software had auto-login as well.
I have up to four Writelog stations connecting to the VE7CC cluster
software. The great part is that if your node connection goes down you
don't have to run around and reconnect Writelog's terminal software on
every workstation. And the VE7CC software does repeated auto-connects if
your connection is sporadic or goes down for any reason, great for modem
or other connections that may be unreliable in a hi-RF environment. Lots
of other features too. I also use it with Logic7 and anything else that
requires a DX cluster connection including if it's just me wanting to
check what's on the bands. Tons of bells and whistles but makes dealing
with packet clustes a dream instead of a chore. And it tells you when the
software needs updating. Highest praise, can't think of better software -
and it's free.
