OK, I configured the IC-706mkIIg on my test bench to emulate the
756ProIII (used the address 6Eh) and configured WriteLog starting with
no [PORTS] or [RIGS] sections in writelog.ini. I have a different CI-V
interface than you but it should not matter. I'm using an old K1EL
WinKey keyer on COM3 and the Rig on COM4 at 19,200 bps. Here are the
[PORTS] and [RIGS] sections of writelog.ini:
[PORTS]
CWPTTCONTROL=2
CWPTTDELAY=20
CWPTTIDLE=200
dvktype=3
dvkport=4
dvkstoploop=1
dvkechomic=1
Comm4RigManager={D0DE9422-0517-11D4-9D1B-00105AA43DDF}
Comm4XmitControl=NEVER
Comm4Used=USED,POLL,53
CommSlot1=3
CommSlot2=4
CommSlot3=5
CommSlot4=6
cwtype=6
cwport=2
[RIGS]
Com4:=19200,n,8,2
Note: there is no Icom IC-756PRO=0x6E line ... try getting rid of that
as well.

Thanks again Joe, Did as you wrote here to the "letter" but no joy.
I don't consider myself inept and worked on electronic controllers,
networking, writing programs, etc in my profession for years and years. I've
been pouring over the Help file and K9JY site and have received a lot of
good information from folks here but to no avail.
At this point I believe I wasted my $30 and will just continue to use N1MM
(a hell of a lot easier to get setup and working) as well as SKCCLogger,
and the other software that has been and continues to communicate to the rig
over the same cabling that I cannot get WriteLog to communicate on. If the
rig didn't currently communicate to the computer then I'd know it is
hardware but since all my other packages work with the setup as is......
I'll leave all the other negative comments that come to mind out of this as
I know it is frustration speaking. I'll let this sit for a few
days/week/weeks and give it another shot.
Tnx agn to everyone for you effort es 73,

Get rid of the two Com6:=19200,n,8,1 lines in the [RIG] section. Use Edit
Writelog.ini from the Start menu before you start WriteLog. Then once
Writelog has started use Setup | Ports to set the port speed to
19200 bps, and then "Save Configuration"

What connection are you using between the computer and transceiver?
Are you using a *real* CT-17 CI-V interface with a separate power
supply or are you using a third party device? If you are using a
third party CI-V interface (converter) have to checked to determine
whether it needs power on the DTR and/or RTS lines?
If your interface is "port powered" make sure you are not using PC
Generates for CW on the same port as the radio and confirm that you
have no COM#_RTS_INIT and/or COM#_DTR_INI directives in writelog.ini
that apply to the radio port.

Thanks Joe for the info. My rig communicates at 19,200 so when I

It was suggested that I go to 9,600 so went into the rig program and
changed to 9600,N,8,1 then went into WL and changed baud rate to
9600, saved settings and verified in the INI file that the comms are
now 9600. I then closed down WL, rebooted the rig then reopened WL
with
no joy.
I then reset the rig and WL back to 19,200, I have five separate
software packages that all successfully communicate with the rig at
19,200 and have been doing so for years. I'm not convinced something
in the INI file is not correct hence my request to see how other's
INI file is setup. That being said, I have two writelog.ini files
which is confusing also. One in the writelog folder and one in the
C:\Windows
folder..
