Mike,
I used to use a USB to 2 port Serial adapter with a Rig Blaster Plus and
CT-17 level converter to control my IC-756PRO. One serial port went to the
Rig Blaster and the other to the CT-17. Rig control under Writelog worked
normally and I was able to key CW. The only problem was I would
occasionally get some "garbled" CW transmission due to Windows doing
something in the background at the exact moment I keyed CW. A quick tap of
the ESC key would abort it and another resend would usually work ok. I got
away from this interface method when I acquired my Microkeyer II. Much
simpler interface and rock solid CW now.
73,

Subject: [WriteLog] USB/Serial Cable CW sending
Hello Folks, In July of 2010, I suffered an EMP, and thus lost the serial
port on my station computer as well as CAT control on my FT-1000MP. I've
already repaired my FT-1000MP. While I'm locating the exact replacement
motherboard to repair my station computer, I'm curious if anyone has ever
used a USB to Serial adaptor to maintain and control Writelog's functions as
well as keep the CW sending ability? Currently I use a K1NU "Writelog
cable", and am very pleased with it.
Thanks for the help,
Mike Almeter
