Jerry,
Two questions -
If you are trying to run two radios (IC-751 and Elecraft K2) why do you
have Number of Radios set to 1?
Second, I do not recall that my old IC-751 had a very big command set. I
would have been happy just to have Writelog read the frequency and mode
information. This is a command by the way so the radio is responding to
that command at least.
From your message, I gather that there are other commands that you can
command from the CI-V test program manually that do not work with
Writelog, e.g., write the frequency? Digging out my old Icom computer
control command codes I see there was a Write Frequency command - perhaps
this is not implemented in the Writelog Rig Driver??
I assume that 9600 baud is ok with PIEXX interface?
