[RTTY] WRITELOG QUESTION

Make sure you have properly configured hardware handshake in WriteLog
and your interface.  The TS-570 is one of the most difficult/unreliable
CAT interfaces because the controller is too small/slow for the job.
If handshake is not set properly the TS-570 will "handshake off" and
refuse to respond to the computer.

WriteLog  would connect for a minute or so and function properly but then it would loose communications with the transceiver and show NO RIG. (Not an RFI issue since the problem occurs in the receive mode) I had the same problem with MMTTY running alone. I was able to solve the problem by setting the polling interval to 2 sec. The help file in WriteLog suggests unchecking the poll box if the CAT function operates erratically. When I did this I was unable to get the CAT function to work at all. The help file says that with the poll box unchecked the software will only poll the transceiver when dupe checking. I found the the CAT function did not function and the dupe checking was incorrect.
