Re: [WriteLog] IC-9700 Connection via USB Times out in about 10 seconds

[Mike Seguin via WriteLog <writelog@contesting.com>]

the latest versions of Writelog do use ini files. To access them, you 
select import/export from the opening window that pops up when you start 
Writelog.
On FT8, if you use WSJT-X, you can use the WritelogADIlistener app to 
log contacts. Or a better was is to use DigiRite from within Writelog. 
That way it's fully integrated and knows mults/dupes because it's using 
the Writelog log file.
On my 9700, I use the USB connection for the audio codec and have a USB 
to CI-V cable plugged in to Remote for CAT. Rock Solid.
