Agreed, to bad Digirite got into a P^&*ing contest with the Princeton group
I'm still using the original Digirite with Writelog 12.43E and in fact I am
not upgrading WriteLog because I do not want to try all the voodoo to get
the new Digirite to work with it! I'm keeping 12.43E as long as I can.

Maybe some bright programmer can either automate the new Digirite loading
process or re-write Digirite and burn Princeton altogether. When/if that
happens I will upgrade my Writelog.

Yes sports fans it has now become that serious for the Writelog folks. I'm
not alone on this for sure.

The later versions of Writelog do not have/use an INI file. 

 

This is disappointing for me.   I've used Writelog since back pre-version 8.
I love how it handles multiple rig inputs for VHF contests.  There is so
much FT8 activity on VHF now,  to contest and not be able to work/log FT8
contacts is nearly as bad as not operating at all.    I may have to consider
other contest logging options.

When you first go into Writelog on the right hand side you can EXPORT the
INI file.

 

Two things.

 

1. The USB Cable must be very short -- this is an Icom problem.

2. In the [RIGS] section

Com3:=19200,n,8,2                 Com port that you are using BUT 2 Stop
bits.
