If you are using an IC-756 Pro III with WriteLog 11.18C and it successfully
communicates the frequency info to the computer, could you please email me a
copy of your INI file so that I can see how it is setup? Tnx your help is
appreciated.
LA6FJA, Thanks for the input, I found that there are two writelog.ini files,
one in C:\Windows and the other deep in the Users folder. The latter reflects
changes I make via the Edit INI file shortcut so I took that info and copied
into the first copy. No changes so I restored the original file (I saved a copy
in a separate folder for this purpose).
So it appears that much is not the issue as far as I can tell.
I changed the baud rate to 9600 but again that did not correct the situation
either. I verified in the INI file this change was actually made, restarted the
software as well as rebooted the rig.
Also I did click on the No Rig button to the left of the QSO Entry field and it
indicates com port 6, which is what the rig connects to. I can select OK and
no change, then I try the same again and enter a freq and hit OK but rig does
not respond.
I also tried entering a freq into the QSO Input field and hit enter but this
does not change the freq on the rig.
After I tried each of these items, I always restored back to the original setup
before moving on to try the next item.
I agree there is a lot of information in the Help files as well as on K9JY
website and I have poured over both of them.

Are 100% sure you work in rigth INI file and folder?
I had to make my programdata folder changed from hidden to viewable.
Then copy my writelog.ini there to have windows 7 to track the ini file!!

Gentlemen, I am a newbie to WriteLog (V11.18C on a Windows 7 computer) and
experiencing connectivity issues with my IC-756 Pro III. This rig
communicates with several other software packages I use at different times
with no problems at all. I obviously don't have setup correct yet in
WriteLog as I can't read the frequency from the rig into the In QSO Entry
Window hence it doesn't appear on the log either. I have attached three JPG
files one showing the absence of the freq in the Entry Window , another is
the Port Setup page and the last is the logging/dupe config showing that I
have com port 6 selected which is where the rig is connected. I believe my
error is most likely in the INI file. K9JY website mentions that under the
Radio drop down window, Headphones Normal should be selected but all of the
headphone options are "light grey" meaning I cannot select any of them. I
have "The Window selected is Radio Left" and "Number of radios is 1".
This is the Ports and Rigs section of my WriteLog.ini file. I am using USB
com port 6 from the computer out to my Icom 756 Pro III, this configuration
works on all other control and logging software I use between this rig and
computer so I know the physical link is working. The rig address is 6E and
the port is running at 19,200 baud, 8,1,N.
Any direction you can offer is most appreciated.
