Mike,
I have had a similar problem with contest software from time to time (not
just Writelog). If you have some snap-on toroids, try putting one next to
your keyboard on the line that goes from the keyboard to the computer.
Sometimes it is a little sensitive where along the cable you put it. I have
seen toroids on various cables of contesters' computers, so I guess that you
and I aren't the only ones!

Subject: [WriteLog] RF problems
Hi All;
I am having RF issues when running CW, Writelog and the amp. What is
interesting is I don't have RF issues when running CW, the amp and
TR..........
Here is what happens. I hit an F-key on the computer keyboard and the rig
goes into a 'key down' mode meaning continuous transmit, no cw. One way to
cure this is to back off on the rig RF output such that the amp output is
about
400 watts and then the cw starts again.
This only happens when I work from the keyboard. I do not have problems
when I work the vibroplex key on either rig. So that means there is
something
relative to the computer and rig(s) interface.
I have tested each rig/amp and on same band/freq/antenna.
Rigs are:
TS-950 SDX and TL-922A
TS-870S and TL-922A
Yet I don't have any issues when using TR........I can hear y'all saying
then use TR. My software choice is a function of the particular contest.
